• "We were very comfortable in the Larch Cottage accommodation - it added to our overall enjoyment of the holiday in Scotland."

  The cottage layout was well thought through and externally, parking for our car was very convenient. There is just one small point for improvement a suggestion, not a complaint. The heating system was pretty straight forward for us but may not be for everyone. As the weather was pretty mild during our stay, we did not require the heating to come on. However, the downstairs floor heating did come on during the night causing the bedroom to be far too warm so we had to adjust the thermostat. Some written explanation about the operation of the heating system and set temperatures for people staying would be useful to prevent having to get up unnecessarily during the night to switch it off, or vice versa if it gets too cold.

• "Excellent stay The bag and filters in the vacuum could be changed more frequently."

  When used the vacuum filled the cottage with odours of dog. Had to open door and windows to clear the smell

• "Beautiful property exactly as described."

  20 min walk into Aberfeldy. Facilities all as described, washing machine in outhouse handy to wash the towels as only one towel supplied per person, this wasn't a problem to wash them but next time I would just bring my own. Perfect property that I would recommend and will hope to return to in the future. Good hosts available by text/phone if you encountered any problems (which we didn't).

• "Easy to find and good parking."

  Nice to have biscuits and milk left (and tea) but no coffee. Bed was very comfortable, shower pressure excellent. A few maintenance and cleanliness faults really made a difference to overall opinion of the property. Toilet cistern dripped constantly, which was very annoying especially during the night (audible through closed doors), towel rail and Shower floor were dirty, some plates had crumbs on them and there were crumbs in the cupboard, one glass had white powder in it (overall crockery, glassware and cutlery was not particularly clean), quite a lot of cobwebs about in doorways etc. I had to wash up any kitchenware I wanted to use before use. Overall comfortable enough to stay in but not as clean or well maintained as I expect for a holiday property of this price.

• "Warm and cosy, Larch cottage is a perfect size for a couple (plus dog)."

  This was our second visit: as before, the cottage was clean and tidy and there were teabags, a carton of milk and some shortbread waiting for us on arrival. There were more than enough plates, cups, glasses, utensils for our needs. This time around we also booked the adjacent Bugaboo cottage (see separate review) and brought along the whole clan - a great set up and a super base for us to explore Aberfeldy and the surrounding area.

• "We had a lovely stay at Larch Cottage."

  Very comfortable and a great location, somewhere quiet but not too far to walk to Aberfeldy for supplies or food & beers. Great for wildlife lovers, we saw red squirrels close to the cottage, there were brown hares in the field just beside Castle Menzies and we were lucky enough to see a beaver on our way home from dinner on our last night. Didn't use the telly, it was too lovely having the window open and listening to the birds of an evening, including hooting owls. Plenty of nice walks and cycling nearby, really liked it here.

• "Larch cottage did not meet our expectations, I felt the upstairs of the property was tired and the mismatch of furniture is not great in a rental property."

  The property was not clean enough on our arrival, the floors were dirty and there was a strong dog odour in all the rooms. Dishes and pans had to be washed before we could use them. This is not acceptable any time but all the more worrying with Covid around. I think it should be pointed out this property is on a main road. The general area was lovely and a great base for outdoor activity. The bed was very comfortable but the pillows need replaced.

  Thanks for your honest review. Great to hear that you found the new mattress so comfortable and that you really liked the area. Larch Cottage is very popular and we get many guests who come back time and again. They especially like the very light & airy upstairs living room with its views over the surrounding area and the enlarged outside sitting area. The cottage was very thoroughly cleaned before your stay and I personally washed all the crockery & cutlery in very hot water. In these times we vacuum then wash all the floors with hot water & cleaner and wash then use a strong virucidal disinfectant on all other hard surfaces & furnishings. We will ensure good airing of the property between stays to provide a fresher atmosphere. We always encourage guests to contact us on their arrival if there is something they are not happy with, we can then attend and quickly rectify where possible. The owner Property Owner

• "It is very well located, just a short walk from Aberfeldy but fairly close to the lovely Glen Lyon."

  I found it very handy as a base to do the Glen Lyon and Loch Tay Munros. A very comfortable living and dining/cooking space upstairs with all the kitchen equipment that I needed. The hob worked fine but I couldn’t work out how to use the oven. Perhaps a crib sheet of instructions pinned on the wall? If there were instructions somewhere, I didn’t find them - sorry. Bathroom spacious with an excellent shower. I didn’t use the TV. I opened the large Velux window and listened to the birdsong in the mornings and evenings. So peaceful and relaxing.

• "The accommodation is very comfortable."

  The living quarters upstairs were very light and gave good views over the countryside. The bedroom downstairs has only one window which was good- kept it quite dark even though outside it was light for a large part of the night. The location itself is great- walks from the door and there are off road footpaths to get you easily into Aberfeldy.

  A good location for local trips eg. Pitlochry. The downside was large lorries on the narrow roads, for nearby logging. So care is needed if cycling in the area.

  We chose the cottage as the location was of near equal distance to all the attractions we wanted to visit (Edinburgh, Ben Nevis to name a couple). The cottage was well presented and clean, and was exactly what we were looking for. There was an abundance of cooking equipment in the kitchen and the shower pressure was fab. The cottage is a 5-10 minute walk from Alberfeldy, which housed shops and restaurants, as well as some lovely waterfalls. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would certainly consider staying again when we're next in Scotland!

  It was cosy and warm in the Scottish winter. The shower is really good, warm and powerful. The bed is so comfortable giving a great nights sleep. The cottage has all the facilities you’ll need, we appreciated the milk and teabags. If I was to change one thing it would be the couch and chairs, they’re a bit dated but other than that I’d highly recommend.
