"Fantastic lodge."

Would definitely recommend a stay here. We have just returned from a 1 week stay as a family of 6 (4 adults, 1 teen and 1 baby) and there was plenty of room. The property is furnished beautifully and is exactly as the pictures show. Ideal location to go exploring in Scotland as it’s only a short drive to the A9, but far enough away to not hear the traffic. The site is really peaceful, on times we wondered if we were the only ones there it was that quiet. Our next holiday in Scotland we will certainly be booking here.

"Great place in a beautiful location!"

The lodge exceeded our expectations. However when we were driving to the location the road was closed which we hadn't been told about so had to drive over 20 miles to get to it & this added an extra hour on our journey ( roads are very narrow over a mountain pass) to find another 'road closed' sign!! Also the lodge was not easy to find & we had no contact phone number for the caretaker - site staff also didn't know where it was- all very confusing! More information should have been given for our arrival. Highly recommended this lodge for a lovely holiday in a beautiful location!

"A good holiday lodge situated near to the River Devon within a valley."

Allowing access to the South towards Edinburgh and the North towards Perth/Dundee. A short 16 min drive to places like Castle Campbell,Dollar Glen (waterfall walks),Kings seat (hill walks) and Cowden Japanese Gardens. There is more than enough utilities provided for everyday use, everybody around the park was friendly and welcoming during our stay. Overall a ideal place to stay to explore the surround area of Scotland, would go again!

"Our third time there."

Unfortunately we were unwell all the week but you couldn't have a nicer place to "chill out" in. Jessica the housekeeper so kind and helpful once again

"This was our second time at Ping Lodge."

We love the area - there's so much to see and we are returning again in June when we return from our North Coast 500 tour all booked with Sykes Cottages. Jessica the housekeeper is very helpful and keeps Ping Lodge very clean and comfortable

The setting was peaceful and quiet, we enjoyed our time there and would go back again. The person that looked after the lodge was really friendly and helpful and advised us on places to take the grandchildren, it was great to have this local information. We all enjoyed our time there.

"Cottage could have been cleaner."

Too much clutter. Boiler very noisy during night and we switched it off but it still came on at intervals during the night. No Instructions for Washing machine or TV (which was complicated to use) Fridge very noisy. Only 2 of us but not enough towels. TV picture kept breaking up so we just watched DVDs that we took with us as only childrens ones there didn't bother to report it.

"The lodge was beautiful and extremely spacious."

The location was central to all the places you were likely to want to visit and was in a delightful setting itself. The owners had tastefully decorated the living area with several Halloween decorations and had left the children some sweets hidden under a witches hat which they were very excited about! A nice touch! A very pleasant holiday with beautiful accommodation and stunning autumnal scenery.

About the location

DOLLAR

Tillicoultry 3 miles; Kinross 12 miles; Stirling 13 miles; Dunfermline 13 miles

Dollar sits at the foot of the Ochil Hills on the road between Stirling and St Andrews. The town is dramatically overlooked by the remains of Castle Campbell, also known as Castle Gloom, and has superb walks up the steep glen to the castle. The early life of the village was fulfilling the needs of the castle’s owners, the lowland seat of the Duke of Argyll, until the castle was burned down in 1654 in retaliation for the Duke’s support for Cromwell. The village recovered in the 18th century with the opening of copper and lead mines in the surrounding hills and with subsequent ironworks enhancing its prosperity. With the opening of the prestigious Dollar Academy at the beginning of the 19th century, the village transformed into the attractive and prosperous town it is today. The town has a mix of shops and cafes and the drive or walk up the glen to the castle provides stunning views as the countryside opens out to the south. The popular tourist town of Stirling is 13 miles to the west with its dramatic castle and monument to William Wallace. Gleneagles and Perth are within easy reach, as is the Fife coast and St Andrews.
