Clean, welcoming but small
This property was clean and welcoming. The kitchen was well equipped and the welcome pack was a nice addition and the front room was homely. The park opposite was very welcome for dog walks and the access to the town was within easy distance as was the ruined abbey. Even though this property does sleep 4 there is only enough room for 2. The 2nd bedroom is in a hatch with a pull down ladder which could only be used by well abled people as it’s steep and has no rail. It’s also didn’t seem to have a heater which made it quite cold. When booking this property I asked for a garden, but there is only a small terrace next to the road, so is unsuitable for a dog.

Cute cottage.
We stayed in the cottage for a night for my friends birthday. The host was lovely, friendly and approachable. The cottage was nice enough with adequate facilities. I would say a bit small for 4 adults as not enough comfy seats for four. The location was quiet and quaint. The owner was lovely and left clear instructions for access etc.
The bathroom and kitchen were clean and the bedding was clearly freshly laundered. Good kitchen facilities for needs.
Handy location for gleneagles.
The guests found access to the upstairs bedroom a bit of a challenge and the ladders did block access to the kitchen slightly when down.

Lovely, cosy cottage.
Great little cottage in a lovely village. You'll find everything you need and more in the cottage.
It's very quiet and peaceful and just a short drive to Gleneagles and Auchterarder.
Our host sent detailed instructions for everything and was always available if we needed her.

Perfect spot to launch our adventures from
This location was just what our family of four needed to be comfortable in pur own rooms for our first few nights in Scotland. We appreciated the food items available and that the shop close by had other essentials. In the easy to use kitchen we made a couple of meals to enjoy at the dining table and also in the peaceful garden. Great washer and drying rack for clothes fir light packers like us. The washroom was large and had some toiletries to use as well as a heated towel rail which we now need to put in at home! Easy access to Gleneagles and Auchterarder for a visit with family and for touring Stirling, Callander, Doune, Crieff and The Hermitage. Beds were a bit too soft and the garden spiders were huge but the bedrooms and living room we used for a cot were great, thank you so much Helen!
