• "What a lovely cottage and a beautiful location!"

  The cottage was warm, comfortable and quiet and, to our delight, red squirrels live nearby. It was a real joy to watch them scampering up the drive most mornings! Our only small 'niggle' was the lack of water pressure for the shower which meant it wasn't as powerful as we'd have liked but it was sufficient to do the job and wouldn't deter us from staying here again. The location was excellent, close enough to a main road to get out and about quickly but it still felt 'off the beaten track' and a cosy retreat to return to after a days hiking / sightseeing. Some lovely walking is to be found in the woods behind the cottage - mostly well made forest tracks - and Comrie is accessible this way, avoiding the main road. Crieff is good to visit and for 'supermarket' shopping (Aldi / co-op) and also has a superb deli + cafe! Comrie is pretty but limited and not everything was open on the days we visited (out of main holiday season). The circular walk round Glen Lednock was lovely though (more squirrels!). All in all, a great base for a wonderful relaxing holiday in a beautiful part of the country. We hope to return soon.

• "A lovely cottage in a beautiful area, we enjoyed our stay."

  Seeing a red squirrel from the kitchen window was a highlight as we’d never seen one before. We had an issue with one of the showers not working but this was fixed very promptly (and over the Bank Holiday weekend at that). Would recommend.

  Hello there Gillian, Thank you so much for the lovely feedback after your recent East Cottage stay. We are delighted that you saw your first ever red squirrel while here, and I happy to say that thankfully the population is on the rise in this part of Scotland. We are grateful for your recommendation, and really hope that you will come back and spend time with us here again in the future. Take care till then. Kindest Regards Sheenagh McIntyre - Property Manager Property Owner

• "Cosy traditional cottage, beds are comfortable, lots of towels great for family with kids, has two electric heaters in the rooms, i left on for 20 mins before bed it heated the rooms nicely."

  inside is clean and surrounding is beautiful has got walks to comrie croft passing the estates, 5 mins drives to wildlife park which both kids n adults enjoyed the day out, about 10 mins drive to town which you can find shops cafes ects. the down side is there is no bench you can sit outside in the garden, a barbecue area would be nice thing to add too, some plastic culinary would be nice for the young kids, the hot water is a main issue i would say that after i ran the bath for the kids there is no hot water left for the rest of us, internet connection could have some improvement.

  Hello there Xinzhu, Thank you so much for the positive feedback that you have left following your recent stay at East Cottage. It is indeed a beautiful area with lots of great activities close by! As regards the outdoor seating, and unfortunately you missed this by just a week, we now have picnic benches made from locally sourced timber from wind blow in our native woodlands, and we fully take on board the need for a nice barbeque area , and this is something that we will definitely look into providing in the future. Plastic cutlery , cups etc is a good idea too. The internet issues are ongoing, with our area earmarked for fibre optic broadband in the latter part of 2023, and the hot water situation , which we discovered was a faulty thermostat has now been resolved. Thank you once again, and we very much hope that you will come back and see us at Fordie Estate again soon! Kindest Regards Sheenagh McIntyre Property Manager Property Owner

• "We enjoyed our stay here."

  The walks from the cottage and surrounding area are Idyllic. The cottage is comfortable, cosy and clean. Some little niggles were the kitchen/dinning area was a bit small and the fridge had no freezer compartment. Also no dog's allowed after this visit which is a shame as we would have stayed here again.

  Hello there, Thank you so much for leaving East Cottage so neat and tidy on your departure last week, and we hope you had an enjoyable stay. Thank you also for your very positive feedback which helps us greatly. The kitchen area in East is slightly smaller, however we are looking to furnish the sitting room with a small table and chairs going forward. We are also looking to upgrade the fridge. We are trialling our no dog's allowed policy at this time, and it is not set in stone so may well be reversed in the future, please watch this space! We would love you to come and visit again in the future and many thanks once again for your continued support. Kindest Regards The Fordie Estate Team Property Owner

• "Gorgeous setting."

  Saw my first Red Squirrel since childhood. Amazingly friendly and helpful staff. Went the extra mile for us. Cottage rustic, yet deceptive as it has been beautifully decorated, furnished, and supplied three modern bathrooms which is really helpful. The kitchen a bit of tight squeeze but nothing we couldn't cope with gladly.
