• "We needed a sizeable property to allow fifteen of us to get together for our family celebration and Tayview suited us perfectly."

  The large open-plan kitchen/diner enabled us to bring in a chef and his team to prepare a special birthday dinner. The house was warm and comfortable and spotlessly clean. Killin is superbly located for walks and hikes and even a game of golf on the little jewel of a course on the edge of the village. We came from North, East and West and the village was central for all of us. A great weekend for young and old!

• "A fabulous place to stay."

  All bedrooms are spacious, well appointed and the house was very clean. Kitchen is very well-equipped with everything you need to cater for a large group. We had no problems with hot water, heating or wi-fi. I wouldn't hesitate to return to this beautiful property. Our visit in February was blessed with dry sunny weather and Killin is a lovely place to explore.

  Hi Julie, Thanks for taking the time to leave us your feedback. We're delighted to hear that your stay was an overwhelming success on all fronts and glad you really appreciated the kitchen and ancils; when we redeveloped the kitchen a few years ago, we tried to design it with large groups in mind - hence features like the TWO dishwashers. We're also pleased to hear you had great weather and got out and about - Killin is picture-postcard perfect! We'd love to have you guys back, so do please bear us in mind for future holidays. Many thanks. Property Owner

  The property was perfect in every way particularly the ample supply of glasses and kitchen equipment.

  Hi Ronald, Thanks for taking the time to leave us your feedback. It's great to hear heat-warming feedback like yours; it makes all the hard work we put into Tayview worthwhile. Thanks for your kind words. We'd love you to consider us when you book your next holiday! Many thanks. Property Owner

• "Our stay at Tayview was truly amazing."

  The property was incredibly comfortable, spacious and very well equipped. The 9 x bedrooms that were all configured to king size doubles gave everyone thier own privacy, ample space and comfort. (All the rooms can be configured into twins if that is required.) I booked the property to spend with the whole family and invited friends to join us on the Saturday night to celebrate my 60th Birthday. The spacious kitchen / dining area ensured the party was a huge success. The hottub made for a wonderfully relaxing experience for everyone and the games room and games console ensured the children were kept amused. The nearby co-op provided everything we wanted with regard to food and drinks and was only a 6 minute stroll from the lodge. I would recommend Tayview to anyone looking for a spacious, relaxing getaway with family or friends. It was Absolutely Amazing

  Hi Nicholas, Thanks for taking the time to leave us your feedback. I think that is one of the best comments we've had for years - thanks for nailing exactly what we strive for. We are truly chuffed that you had a FANTASTIC 60th birthday celebration and were able to fit so many of your family in to celebrate with you. It is clear that you loved Killin - and we'd be thrilled to have you back for any other birthday celebrations...or just a well-deserved break! Many thanks. Property Owner

• "Beautiful house we had 16 people in our party with ages from 73 to 2 years and the house was equipped for everyone."

  The house had everything we needed so cosy too for an old house. Situated well within the town too, lively and quiet did not hear a sound despite it being the run up to hogmanay. We all just felt so at home there best holiday home we have ever stayed in and we have stayed in many all over the UK and abroad. This one is our favourite its a gem and the facilities are just what was needed for our large party. We would come back again the Town is lovely and the shops and people are so welcoming. The fireworks at the bridge on 31st were an added bonus and we only had a 5 minute walk to see them. The hottub was a bonus too the garden and parking was spot on too. We had a great stay and we have no bad things to say whatsoever to say. Lovely cosy home that we lived visiting and would go back to in the future. The management team and the owner Jimmy were so helpful that nothing was any trouble. Car charging point also an added luxury as one of our cars is electric. Everything has been thought of in this property with highest quality of furnishings and furniture. The beds were the best very comfortable everyone got a good sleep. The owner and his team do a brilliant job and this property should be awarded 10 out of 10 for every category.

  Hi Gillian, Thanks for taking the time to leave us your feedback. Wow!...what a stunning review - and it means a huge amount to the whole team. However, you guys were also amazing and your response to our challenges on the day of your arrival (issues beyond our control) was incredibly considerate and you made the change-over team feel so much better, so a HUGE thanks to you all. We are so pleased that you had a stellar time and we'd LOVE to have you all back, so do bear us in mind for your next break. Many thanks. Property Owner

• "In-house instructions not good."

  Only managed to operate one TV and on that one we could only find BBC iPlayer. No instructions provided for the EV charger.

  Hi John, Thanks for your feedback regarding your recent stay; I'm sorry things didn't meet your expectations. The in-house instructions is entirely my fault: we're currently updating them, so there was only an old (less informative) version in the house. I will commit to getting the updated version back in the house by next week. Thanks for raising this. We have asked our maintenance team to specifically check the TVs, as there should always be an App homepage from where you can launch all the usual Apps such as Netflix, I-player, Prime, Disney+ etc. As mentioned below, we don't usually need to send out information on the EV charging point, as it is a 'plug and play' set up, meaning that under normal conditions, you don't need the App to charge. We provide the EV point as a free extra option for guests. I hope you were still able to enjoy the house more generally, the location, views and spending time with friends/family. I apologise that your expectations weren't met. Many thanks, Jimmy Property Owner

• "Lovely house, central location which we enjoyed but we did have a few issues."

  The information about the car charging point should have been sent earlier to allow registration on the app. We just couldn't get it to work despite registering and following instructions on the app, which was a major problem as I have an electric car and needed to charge it to get home. . Also we couldn't watch normal TV despite spending a lot of time trying to follow the instructions. Poor lighting at hot tub was a safety concern. No microwave dishes available. Contacting someone was a problem. I sent 3 emails and phone 3 times about the charger. First response attachment wasn't included so I had to email again. Sly did finally phone me on Sunday to discuss problems by which time it was really too late. We had found an alternative means of charging my car. Anyway, comfy accommodation, great that we could have single beds but issues did spoil our break.

  Hi Lindsay, Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback, it helps us ensure we continue to improve our provision to other guests. Apologies it has taken me a couple of weeks to check feedback. I'm glad you liked the house, the changeable bed config options and found the place comfy. We don't usually need to send out information on the EV charging point, as it is a 'plug and play' set up, meaning that under normal conditions, you don't need the App to charge. We provide the EV point as a free extra option for guests. I'm not sure why the EV point wasn't working as normal but we are actively looking into it, so thanks for flagging this with us. We are always happy for guests to slow charge on a cable to a house socket, should the EV point not work. The TVs are both smart TVs, and provided you had wifi, they should both have had a working App homepage, where you can log into your various App accounts. There are no terrestrial channels on these TVs...I apologise if that's what you were expecting. There is an external floodlight on the gable end of the house that covers the hot tub. All our crockery is microwaveable, along with the Pyrex dishes provided. Although we have 7 days a week contact, our team member that was covering the weekend was ill; unfortunately by the time Sly was able to cover for his unwell team-mate, you were preparing to depart. I'm very sorry that your experience wasn't as you had hoped; we are usually commended on how responsive we are to guests' needs - but on this occasion we clearly didn't meet expectations, for which I'm very sorry. I hope you will give us the chance to show you how well the place is usually run . Many thanks, Jimmy Property Owner

  The house was perfect for our needs. The only slight disappointment (for the younger members of the group) was that the Xbox wasn’t working (out of batteries). Regards, Teresa

• "This was an excellent house for our family gathering of 5 adults and 7 children."

  The house is very well stocked with plenty of crockery and utensils and the big bonus was having 2 dishwashers. The only criticism I had was that there was no tumble dryer. With 7 kids, it was difficult to dry clothes when it was too wet to hang out on the clothes line. I would certsinly recommend this house for a large family gathering.

• "Excellent holiday home for our family reunion."

  The hot tub was a bonus and enjoyed by some of us. Thought given regarding facilities needed by such a large group eg 2 large fridges, 2 dishwashers. Maintenence guy came quickly to look at the shower which wasn't working properly. Car ev charging was another bonus (but the isolater switch needed resetting after charging...not a problem but may need looking at). We had an excellent holiday, wanted for nothing in an ideal house. Thank you

  Bedrooms all spacious and comfortable. It was a shame the hot tub wasn't hot when we arrived and had to wait until the following day to use. I would say the cleanliness was disappointing.. I cleaned our ensuite on arrival and some areas were covered in think dust.

• "This house was ideal for my family of 14."

  Its been well thought through with the lovely kitchen/diner being ideal. Two dish washers and two big fridges were really useful. While neither lounge is really big enough for 14, the benefit of the two meant that one group could watch a film while others did something else. Good central location and beautifully clean and tidy. Does what it says on the blurb. Excellent. Regards, Rob
