  Lovely big house in a great location.

  The large garden with a stream running through was lovely & the hot tub was a treat after a day of walking with the dogs! 5 min drive to Killin, with a co-op & we can recommend the Falls of Dochart Inn & Courie Inn - but would book ahead! Beds were all comfortable and the kitchen well equipped but we had to do quite a lot of cleaning in the kitchen (& of the cutlery, etc) when we arrived, before we used it. Lots of storage, especially in ‘master’ bedroom The lounge and kitchen were both a squeeze for a group of 5 adults but we made it work! A different dining table (perhaps that folds when not all in use) and an extra couple of small chairs in the lounge would be ideal. The house could really benefit from some electric dehumidifiers or a change in the bedrooms to be able to open the windows as they are quite damp & you can see the damage it’s doing! A clothes airer would have been really handy as well as the tumble in the garage which we made use of. An info booklet on local walks, amenities, vets, history of the house would have been greatly appreciated. Regardless of the above, we had a great stay but with a few tweaks and some TLC this house could be PERFECT. Ps watch out for the Llamas over the road when you pull out the driveway ;-)

  This is the second time we have stayed and we feel there has been a decline in the cleanliness.

  So many cobwebs ( we live in the country so know this is an issue) however when you are paying for a service the expectation is that it will be clean. We had to hoover on arrival as the floor hadn’t been cleaned, still bits on the floor, sweet under the chair in the snug room. Really disappointed in the time we had there due to partners health and having to leave. Your communication was great about boiler and filter. Think a booklet could be made including the info about water and other useful info because that didn’t happen to us last year either. Also couldn’t find clothes airer which had been there on previous year, would be helpful to dry clothes. Piece of decking is rotten on entrance to veranda- could cause an issue. Dirty pans in the cupboards, had to clean them all before we could use them. Next doors dog was constantly barking- again not inclined to animals as we have our own farm animals and brought our own dog with us but it was constant. Not sure if your cleaner has changed but drastic difference since last year which is really sad as it is a lovely place with amazing views. We still would come back as it’s perfect for a restful stay but would like to see major improvements in the cleanliness.

  Arrived with family.

  We were all absolutely stunned by the location and after a walk around the surrounding beautiful garden to take in the scenery, we ventured inside. The house was gorgeous and immaculate! As it was a gift for my fathers birthday, we were delighted with the very thoughtful birthday greeting! Lounge with the log fire was ideal for chilling in the evening. Kitchen was large had everything you could need. Even the small tv room was somewhere for the young ones to go a play their Switch(other consoles are available) Upstairs the master was indeed beautiful and an extremely fitting rest point for the man of the moment. And where do I begin with the en-suite?? Bath was fabulous and the shower was incredible!! The other bedrooms were also extremely adequate and comfortable. Great sleeps all round! The hottub was the icing on the cake! An excellent addition to an already grand house and gardens. There was fantastic and quick communication with the owner, who we unfortunately never got to meet due to the COVID situation. Highly recommended for comfort, facilities and location 5*

  Pros- ideal location for getting out walking.

  House has everything you need. Lovely outlook from dining room table. Feels safe to stay there. Cons- bit dated however didn’t spoil stay. Wee bit smelly when we arrived. Could do with fresh Lino on the bathroom. Stair blinds are very dirty. Biggest con for us and this is for anyone bringing their dogs. We had a vision of sitting out in the garden with the dogs just wandering enjoying all the woodland scents- This meant we could not sit outside and enjoy the good weather. One time we left them in the house and sat outside but after 10 mins the lady came out and started pottering about the grass they own right outside the house so the dogs saw her and started barking so we had to go in, so from that respect it did spoil things a bit. I just want dog owners to be aware of that. Overall though we had a really nice week as we just got the dogs out early and spent the day elsewhere.

  Fabulous property !

  Would not hesitate to book again ! Immaculate condition . Excellent location, private and secluded but so close (5min drive)to the beautiful village of Killin and all amenities . Owner has truly thought of everything , the best equipped property we have ever rented! You do not need to bring a thing , cupboards full of fresh linens and towels , even for the dogs ! Cosy log burner in the very comfortable lounge , additional quiet lounge, central heating , luxury bathrooms / en suite , super comfortable beds in large well organised bedrooms. Spacious kitchen/dinning area with every utensil you could ever need at your fingertips. Plenty of crockery and glasses for every occasion. Luxury hot tub and outdoor space . The garage with tumble dryer was a bonus and plenty of wood available. Loads of parking. Just a brilliant property !
