“Up graded to a nearby property - Redgorton” This property was up the hill a bit.”

The accommodation was perfect. Warm, cosy, welcoming feel to the place. Modern equipment, everything you could possibly need. Brilliant week.

Mr Hobson September 2020

“A nice pub a couple of minutes from the cottage, and a 15 minute walk 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.

- Mr Hobson, September 2020
Mr Taylor January 2020

“We had a fantastic week staying in a beautiful area, walking every day up hills and along rivers.”

Larch Cottage is a very comfortable and warm place to stay, ideal for two people, we hope to stay here again in the future.

Mr Robertson July 2019

“I contacted Cathy Wagstaff prior to going to Weem and had a long conversation regarding the cottage and got directions from Aberfeldy.”

The cottage was superb in all aspect and we would certainly pencil in a return at some point. Weem is a historical location and with easy reach of many local interesting places. We were extremely fortunate with the weather ....... sunshine all week .

- Mr Robertson, July 2019
Miss Brooks June 2019

“We had a wonderful week at Larch cottage.”

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!

- Miss Brooks, June 2019

Mr Harkins November 2018

“Had a wonderful few days relaxing at Larch Cottage, loved the upside down layout of the place.”

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.

“Pet Friendly with lots of activities in the area”

Lets try and get this right and give an honest review. Both my wife and I and our big white German Shepherd arrived at 'The Larch' in the village of Weem the last week of July 2018. Parking was absolutely no problem and collecting the keys was made easy as per Mr Wagstaff's instructions. This is an up-side-down cottage with the bedroom on the lower floor with a large walk-in shower and loo next door. The linen and bedding were clean and fresh with 2 complete set of towels. There is the option to wash towels and clothing if required, so its up to you if you feel the need for more towels; what we had was ideal! Upstairs is the main living area with an area to eat at the table and a small kitchen, suitable for our purposes. This is not a luxury cottage but one that is used for the likes of walkers, anglers etc We enjoyed staying here. My only 'gripe' was not with the cottage but the local eating and drinking places nearby....they all allow dogs in somewhere in their pubs etc but they don't advertise the facts as 'Dog Friendly'.(Weem and Aberfeldy pubs etc take note) Anyway, we had a grand time staying at the lodge and would consider coming back as there is so much to do in the area....you might even see Ed Sheeran in the local pub if your lucky when he's up visiting his friend in Aberfeldy.

Mrs O'meagher June 2018

“This cottage, within walking distance from Aberfeldy, is an excellent spot to explore the surrounding area.”

The cottage is warm and the skylights allowed us to control the air flow. I would have no hesitation in recommending this cottage to other tourists.

- Miss Bell, March 2018
Mr Caley March 2018

“A good place to enjoy climbing and walking in the Scottish Highlands, Aberfeldy is a lovely small town only a mile away and this accommodation was perfect for my Partner and the Dog , nice walk in Weem Woodlands at the rear of the Cottage which is on a main Road but we were not disturbed by the traffic.”

- Mr Caley, March 2018
Miss Todd December 2017

“Lovely but smelly”

Two of us stayed for a week and used the cottage as a base to visit sights in the area. It's a lovely cottage with awell equipped kitchen and a comfy spacious bedroom. The shower room is large and has excellent water pressure. It makes a great base to explore the highlands and surrounding area. There are also attractions nearby, Dewers distillery and the Scottish Crannog Centre to name just two. Our only complaint was the smell, we knew the cottage was pet friendly but there was a strong smell of dog throughout the cottage. We had to keep the windows upstairs open constantly, luckily for us it was warm and this wasn't a major problem, but had it been winter and cold we would have needed the heating on and windows closed. This would have made the smell unbearable. I think the building needs a deep clean and a good airing to solve the problem. (I've been a dog owner all my life and I understand they smell, however I don't expect it in a holiday rental). The cottage was however clean and their were very few traces of pet hair. I'd recommend it as a place to stay but bring an air freshener.

Worktops could do with a good clean sand back and revarnishing change of towels more than once a week would have been nicer but on the whole a very nice stay wet room was excellent

Ms Dickie September 2016

“Excellent cottage.”

Warm, comfortable and perfect for a short break with our dog who also had a great time!!

- Ms Dickie, September 2016
Mrs Baker September 2016

“This was our second booking with Sykes & our first real visit to Scotland.”

As a mature couple who want to explore the countryside, the cottage truly lived up to its billing! Quite a querky interior with "upside down" accommodation which we liked & in a good location for visits to both east & west coasts. All in all we had a great time!

- Mrs Baker, September 2016

A good cottage with aberfeldy so close, unfortunately another road in the area was closed which sent more traffic past the cottage buy this would not be the normal case

- Mr Summerscales, September 2016
Neville-George August 2016

“Handy location for walking”

The country cottage is adequate for two people. The bathroom is spacious and the water pressure very good, making the shower excellent. The bedroom is comfortable and there is little night-time traffic. The lounge/kitchen is spacious enough and the kitchen, although basic, serves its purpose. The house is warm and there is good radiator heating if required. The only place summer heating may be required is the bathroom underfloor, as this faces north. However, even if the thermostat is left at 40 degrees, it doesn't come on. It is pleasant on the front patio on a sunny day as it faces south. There is a lovely view from the east lounge window over the church to the steep, wooded hill.

- Neville-George, August 2016
Mrs Park July 2016

“It was a home from home.”

Very comfortable and relaxing, kitchen easy to use and all necessary facilities available. Views from all the windows were amazing. Loads of wildlife and easy parking. Highly recommended.

- Mrs Park, July 2016

- Mrs Gill, June 2016
Mr Bertram May 2016

Mr Gray March 2016

Ideal location for waking and sightseeing. Cosy, warm accommodation 500 yards from an excellent pub and restaurant. Washing/drying room very useful - perhaps could do with some more cooking dishes ie casserole dish or slow cooker

“It was a very lovely little cottage.”

Had everything that we wanted to escape for the week with our puppy. We loved having the underfloor heating downstairs, and it was very easily heated upstairs. Beautiful scenery around and lovely walks from the cottage, plus some helpful leaflets for us to discover other walks a bit further afield. The upside down feature was quirky and different, overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

About the location

ABERFELDY

Pitlochry 14 miles; Perth 31 miles.

The market town of Aberfeldy stands on the River Tay amidst beautiful scenery in rural Perthshire. Famous for its association with Burns and his poem The Birks Of Aberfeldy, and also the bridge built for General Wade in 1733, Aberfeldy is just south of Glen Lyon, known as the longest, loneliest, and loveliest glen in Scotland. There is much to attract the visitor in addition to the spectacular scenery. There is a 10 mile riverside walk for pedestrians and cyclists, as well as numerous paths through forest and countryside. In addition, Aberfeldy is on the Rob Roy Way and Cycle Route 7. Whitewater rafting on the River Tay is an exhilarating way to enjoy the scenery. Castle Menzies is a wonderful 16th century castle, now fully restored and open to visitors. Take a distillery tour at Dewar’s World of Whisky on the edge of town. Sample the many bars, restaurants and cafes in the town and explore the galleries and craft shops, including the Scottish Chocolate Centre. The Scottish Crannog Centre offers a glimpse into Iron Age life and Loch Tay offers a multitude of watersports, while Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park are on your doorstep. An hours drive brings you to 30 Munros, just waiting to be 'bagged'!
