  • "On arrival we realized not only was it not suitable for people with mobility issues but it would be a test for anyone."

    Unfortunately the cleanliness of the property was below standard and the property was in need of a complete makeover. However the location was amazing and we were comfortable and relaxed but because of the access issue we couldn't stay there again.

  • "We had a nearly perfect stay at this beautiful place."

    After managing a little problem, because of the watersystem, we received a nice food basket as a thank you from the owner. We would recommend this cottage to friends. Greetings from Austria

  • "The cottage had spectacular views of the loch."

    The owner was super helpful. Extra large garden and seating was a real plus. Comfy beds and conservatory furniture. Private and lovely balcony with great views which the photos do not give credit. The railings on the balcony are wide enough for a small dog to escape. The distance and the access and egress from the car park to the cottage are very steep so be fit and well and use the wheel barrow for heavy items. The property is quirky but could do with some TLC in our opinion. The bath is only large to bath small children or dogs. Although I have highlighted some negatives this is truly a magical place. :-)

  • "Waterfall cottage is just so beautiful!"

    Loch Tay at the bottom of the garden for evening barbecues. The whole area is very scenic. We had nice quality sleep with peaceful surroundings. Beds were comfortable. The sun room was our favourite with lovely views. The garden was massive for our dog, he loved the loch swimming! Excellent stay!!

  • "We had a fantastic stay at Waterside cottage."

    It was spacious, clean and very comfortable and the views were spectacular out onto Loch Tay. It was also private and very quiet. The garden was huge with a beach access onto the Loch. The owners were very responsive. We will definitely come back.

The property

Aberfeldy 12.6 miles.

Settled into the Lochside hamlet of Lawers, near Aberfeldy, Scotland, Waterfall Cottage is a wonderful family holiday for those who love to immerse themselves in the great outdoors.

Park off-road in the Waterfall car park, and make your way down a small slope towards the property, finding yourself in a bright spacious sun room with stunning views which leads into a homely living room, where there is a selection of sofas around an open fire, and a dining area where guests can enjoy a heart-warming meal.

The kitchen is amply fitted so you can rustle up delicious meals for the whole family; you can even dine alfresco!

From here, a magnificent sloped garden can be seen, with access to the loch via a private beach, and with the sound of the waterfall trickling beside the property; this is a space you will love to return to again and again perhaps with a fire to keep you warm or a barbecue dinner.

The property has a family bathroom where you can freshen up after a walk in the countryside air, before cosying up for the night in one of the four bedrooms, including two doubles and two twins.

Completing Waterfall Cottage are some books and games, as well as a table tennis table to keep you entertained.

You will be in a wonderfully peaceful location with fields on one side and a river and trees forming the boundary to the neighbouring property.

Children are very welcome, however careful supervision will be needed as the waterfall and Loch are accessible from the garden!

Lawers boasts wonderful walks alongside Loch Tay, and a local pub just a short distance away, however if you wish to stock up on essentials, then head over to the nearby town of Aberfeldy, where there is a convenience store and a selection of eateries, allowing you to end the day with a drink in one of the local pubs whilst resting beside the River Tay.

The village is famous for its association with Burns and his poem The Birks Of Aberfeldy, and is just south of Glen Lyon, known as the longest, loneliest, and loveliest glen in Scotland.

Enjoy a 10-mile riverside walk for pedestrians and cyclists, as well as numerous paths through forest and countryside, as well as a selection of cycle routes.

Whitewater rafting on the River Tay is an exhilarating way to indulge in the scenery and history lovers can visit Castle Menzies, a wonderful 16th-century castle.

Kenmore is a charming village at the east end of Loch Tay and has a marina where boats can be hired or where you can launch your own boat if you have one, and the Crannog centre is also worth a visit.

Killin is at the other end of the loch and the spectacular Falls of Dochart are a must if not been before.

With so much to do in the local area, there is bound to be something for everyone with a stay at Waterfall Cottage.
