Fasgadh

Fasgadh is an absolutely ideal base for exploring Perthshire and Fife.

The property was clean and well presented with lots of little features that made life easier (e.g. little movement activated lights on the stairs) and a secure, private garden which was great for us with our little dog. The parking was ample and easily accessible (and also secure when the gates are closed), the kitchen facilities were good, and the owners are close by if you need anything, and friendly. The surroundings are generally very peaceful - there is a train line but its not particuarly noticeable when trains do go by, and you basically can't hear the nearby A90. Note for amateur astronomers: this place has incredible night sky views to the south and east that aren't affected by light pollution. The decking area features little LED lights but these don't detract from the viewing experience and it would be ideal for a telescope or night time photography. For purists, you can just sit outside the front door, wait for the security light to click off and enjoy the view. Contrary to a previous review: the access road to the property is absolutely fine to drive down, we had no problems with the shower nor the sofas, and if you don't like the dining table bench, there's two chairs available on the other side.

Comfortable and well equipped cottage and owners are on hand next door if needed.

Ideally placed to visit Perth, Stirling, St Andrews and many more places too. It was so peaceful just to be able to relax on the patio in the sunshine and read our books too. Garden area is fully enclosed so that was a bonus for us with our new puppy. We have come home feeling totally relaxed after our week away. Thank you.

We have had a lovely stay at Fasgadh.

It is a lovely clean cottage in a beautiful countryside setting with stunning views. The location is accessible for many days out including Perth, Dundee and St Andrews. The cottage has ample parking and a brilliant contained garden with gates which is perfect for bringing a dog. The cottage has a well thought out layout and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The open plan living is lovely and airy. The beds are comfortable and it was quiet enough to have the windows open all night. The hosts are very welcoming and helpful, suggesting hikes like the Lomond hills and Ben Vrackie, and are only next door should any problems occur. The only thing I would improve for the cottage are lined curtains for the bedrooms. The shower has weak water pressure but is fine for a quick wash. We really enjoyed our stay and didn't want to leave!

This is a wonderful cottage and perfect for our stay.

The host was extremely helpful and I wouldn't hesitate to stay again. The location was ideal. Having a dog with us, I really appreciated that the area around the garden is completely secure and a lovely place to sit out on a good evening.

Very comfortable,clean and cosy property with lots of interesting quirky details.

Ideal for dogs as they can be walked from the door in a rural but interesting farming setting. Would happily return.

We actually left the property 3 days earlier than we had booked for and emailed Sykes to let them know, but have not had a reply to date.

We were very sorry that we had to leave early, as after a parent's death, we really needed a break. We felt that nothing really worked properly except for the oven. There were problems with the taps in the kitchen as they only dribbled out very slowly, and there was grit and sand in the water coming out of the hot tap in the bathroom. We tried the shower twice, but despite moving the control slowly up and down, it was literally either scalding or cold. These problems were shown to the owner as we left. My usually very easy‑going husband said this was the worst shower he had ever used. Due to these 3 problems all preventing the use of hot water, I was unable to wash my hair or have a 'basin wash'. I also scratched my glasses as I clean them with hot water every morning. The last straw was the windiness on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning that kept us awake, as it sounded like the solar panels were going to fly off, so we decided at 5am to pack up and leave. The coffee machine only seems to dispense an inch of liquid no matter what setting you have it on, and I did look up the instructions on the internet so we weren’t doing anything incorrectly. The dining bench is like a brick, so we sat on cushions, and the settees are so soft we needed to sit on two pillows so as not to feel like our bottoms were on the floor almost. The smart TV is a nice idea, but you can only watch live programmes as it buffers all the time on ‘red button’ viewing (perhaps have a dedicated hub for the WiFi). And to be honest, we think the owner should warn people in advance of the state of the 'road', not 10 minutes before arrival time. AND this should be in the description of the cottage, SYKES. We had only picked our 26‑registration car up 5 days before we arrived and would have gone in our older car had we known earlier to enable us to manoeuvre through the massive dirty potholes filled with water on both sides of the track. I also bought some forks as the ones supplied seemed to be very blunt and wouldn’t even pierce the lettuce in our salads! We were further disappointed to have only about 10 sheets of kitchen roll supplied and the end of a roll of foil. Not essential, but usually part of the package. Top marks for cleanliness as everyone says

Lovely cottage, and very conveniently placed near the Byre at Inchyra where we were attending a wedding.

The place was spotlessly clean. Owners very friendly and welcoming. We had booked for 3 guests staying and sadly there were only 2 towels provided, but other than that we were very comfortable.

Really lovely place!

Very very clean!

I had a wonderful time at Fasgadh great place for exploring the surrounding area.

The accommodation really is one of the best I stayed at.

A real Tigh na Fasgadh !

A place to DE-Stress. Really enjoyed. Our hosts had thought of everything.

Beautiful cottage, in a very picturesque location.

Cottage has everything you need. Owner's are very friendly. Lot's to around Perth and beyond

Property is clean, comfortable and in a quiet and idyllic location, perfect for a relaxing break to recharge.

Access to local walks on your doorstep and for venturing further afield or into Perth is a hop skip and jump away. Hosts couldn't be more than helpful.

Fantastic, perfect hosts, lovely property, great location.

What more can you ask for? Would recommend and will revisit!

We had a lovely couple of days in this excellent cottage.

Ideally situated for touring round Perthshire and central Scotland.

Absolutely stunning place to stay.

Although internet access was good, would like it to have been better. However for where we were located it was very good. It’s a place we would happily go back to especially with the dogs being able to roam the secured garden. This was a great central point to explore many things within the area. Anyone thinking about staying in this area should make this a number one choice to stay.

We had a lovely stay, the house is warm and cozy.

We would love to come back some day ☺️

Clean and comfortable property in a great location.

The owners were really friendly and helpful with a great knowledge of the local area or places to visit. Thanks M. And K.

Great little holiday home.

Was absolutely perfect for hubby, me, our girl and our dog. Perfect location for a base for us. Owners on hand to help with any issues. Only one was the sink blocked and was sorted immediately. Absolutely brilliant hosts. Would highly recommend. We would definitely use again.
