"We had a wonderful stay at the Studio."
All very clean and well equipped.
A most welcoming pack of Goodies upon arrival; this included .. Milk, Eggs, Butter, Cheese, Bread, Shortbread .. Thanks.
It was such a pleasure to be able to walk around the owner's estate.
Such colour to be seen within the gardens; along with beautiful woodland walks.
We saw Hares and Red Squirrels; and heard Woodpeckers.
Very Relaxing stay in this most Scenic part of Scotland.
Thanks ... Janet and Mike; from Bournemouth.

"What a lovely hideaway, yet just minutes from the A9."
Easy to reach, yet utterly peaceful and off the beaten track.
Very comfortable, huge, comfortable bed. Internet better than I had expected, ok I didn’t try streaming anything, but it all worked brilliantly.
Red squirrels outside the front door, and plenty of wildlife to see.
Easy to reach lots of attractions.

"The Studio was ideal for a restful tranquil break in a beautiful part of the world."
It is well equipped and cleanliness was spot on. Down a narrow road and well off the beaten track. As I have visited this area many times before did not visit the usual tourist attractions of which there are many. Given the current situation with Covid the cottage was a good place to chill out, also in a handy position for Golf and Fishing nearby. In the light of the risks of travelling abroad will hope to use your services again in future.

"The best thing about this holiday was that although less than 3 miles from the main road north, the peace and tranquility of the cottage's setting was the defining quality."
Breakfast on the terrace overlooking the fields was superb, walks in the castle grounds very relaxing, yet 5 minutes' drive took you to the main road.This is a place for real relaxation, as a retreat for a couple I cannot imagine anywhere better in the UK. When we went in mid-June, the sky didn't get truly dark at night, it was light to the North(!) at 00.30 most nights.
And if you are looking for a touring base, The Studio is a good place to start. We visited Loch Katrine, Loch Lomond, the Lake of Menteith (only lake in Scotland!), Callander, Aberfoyle, Crianlarich, Creiff and Pitlochry.

"We spent a very enjoyable week at this charming property which has been very sympathetically converted former kennels into a well appointed holiday destination."
Set in the grounds of Kilbryde Castle it overlooks farm meadows where we have seen fox and deer in their natural surroundings.
The studio is well appointed and warm on cold spring days with a very efficient wood burner.
The owners are charming and very "hands on", nothing was too much trouble.
A superb and relaxing retreat which we would thoroughly recommend.

"The cottage was idylic and just what I needed."
It was so peaceful and relaxing, but close enough to activities and major roads to make visiting other parts of Scotland easy and pleasurable.
The wildlife around the cottage made relaxing there just as enjoyable as sightseeing.
Finding essential groceries in the cottage and being able to make a cup of tea after a near 6 hour drive was a welcome bonus, Thank you.

"The cottage was well appointed, with everything we needed."
It was clean and in good order.
The internet stopped working after 4 days: this wasn't a problem for us as we used my secure hotspot. My only issue was having only one tea towel, this has been common to all the cottages we have used, and isn't really enough for a week.
I would certainly book this again.

"Kilbryde is a lovely, scenic and peaceful place and we enjoyed everyday we stayed there."
We booked the Studio for a month while we waited for the flat that we rented in Stirling to be ready, but immediately realised that we should have looked for a place close to Kilbryde. The Studio is very comfortable and has everything we needed, even for a long stay, and the wood burner just adds up in cosiness. The surrounding areas are great for relaxed walks, with the river, the wildlife (red and grey squirrels, rabbits and deer) and the castle gardens all just a few steps outside.

"Studio was a lovely place to stay in a tranquil setting."
Very close to Stirling, Dunblane and Doune and excellent for travelling through to other places. Hosts were fine, only met once to get a high chair for our child and they were very accommodating - cottage was even ready before 3pm on the day of arrival. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this part of Scotland!

"Have raised this matter with Sykes under Ref: COR-62334-CD but have not as yet had any update from you."
Part of the outer cottage buildings were in disgusting condition, I have taken photographs. An entire day of our holiday was lost due to lack of information from the owners, a local running event meant no vehicular access in or out of the area. We subsequently had to re-arrange much of our holiday plans during the week. The advertised WiFi did not operate once during our stay. A problem with ants in the cottage was addressed by the owners but never resolved during our stay. Very, very disappointing holiday.

"Beautiful location, set amidst the scenic grounds of Kilbryde castle, with Red Kites circling overhead, and the trickling of water from the river Ardoch in the gorge below."
The towns of Doune and Dunblane are a short drive away, or a pleasant hours walk, depending on your urgency.
Very warm interactions with both Mrs.Campbell and a neighbouring family we met on the grounds.
The cottage is fully stocked with everything you could need - including jigsaws - and offers a slice of wholesome tranquility thats very hard to leave!
Would highly recommend.
