Maisie's Cottage

Mooi huisje in een mooie omgeving en vlak bij Dunblane waar goede voorzieningen zijn.

Netjes en schoon. Enigst minpuntje is dat er niet veel kookpannen zijn en dat het bed maar 140 is.

Third or fourth time staying at Maisie’s Cottage - kind of says it all.

Cosy cottage, kind hosts. A great base for the area!

Just the most amazing little cottage, when you enter the grounds and make your way down to it it's truly mesmerising, over the beautiful little bridge and if your lucky get to see the red squirrel 's playing over the bridge.

The cottage met all our needs perfectly and the little touches made it even more perfect. We have enjoyed every minute and will not hesitate in returning, the location is excellent everything so easy to reach with the sign posting and the easie of all the amazing places to see, specially if your an outlander fan and a he views are to die for. Just a wonderful break.

We enjoyed our stay at Maisie’s cottage!

The cottage was really clean and cosy and the owner very friendly. We would definitely book this cottage again if we are visiting the area again

Susan made us feel very welcome along with her daughter Lucinda.

We met them upon arrival and they gave us recommendations of places to eat within the local vicinity, can highly recommend the Italian in Bridge of Allan. The accommodation was very clean, and comfortable, and had everything we needed. The woodland was lovely to go on a walk near the river. Wildlife was lovely. Overall a very lovely stay.

We enjoyed a very warm welcome from the owners as we arrived to Maisie's Cottage on a cold and icy day.

The cottage is on a large estate, cosy and well equipped with everything you need for a holiday stay. It has an ideal location for hill walking and exploring the area, including Andy Murray's gold postbox in Dunblane and the cathedral. Dunblane station has excellent train connections to Glasgow, Edinburgh and Dundee if you want a city day trip.

We were last at Maisie's in 2023.

We loved our recent break and we hope to return again in the future. Thank you for sharing this special place.

A cosy cottage in a stunning location, Maisie's was well equipped, clean and a joy to return to each day.

Susan and her family were welcoming and helpful, such as showing us the local walks. Woodland and riverside were within seconds of the gate, where we saw Red Squirrels daily and various birds. We hope to return one day!

Third time staying at Maisie’s Cottage.

It’s a great cosy base for hillwalking both locally and further afield.

We booked this property for my mums 70th, first impressions was it looked small, but we were presently surprised when we opened the front door.

The kitchen is well equipped and is spacious, the bathroom was clean n tidy, the lounge was just bigger enough for what we needed. Upstairs the bedroom was lovely. The only issue we had was the television, as it didn't work even when we followed the instructions, but it didn't matter as there were a selection of board games to entertain us. The location of the cottage is perfect for exploring the local area and beyond. Overall we had an amazing time and would definitely recommend this property.

The cottage was nice and we enjoyed our stay there.

Our hosts were friendly and helpful and we loved the setting within the estate grounds on the outskirts of Dunblane. There were only two problems. My wife, who has a bad knee, found the stairs to the bedroom to be a bit of a challenge, but that goes with the layout of the cottage. The main problem is the lack of a tumble dryer or washer dryer. There was a drying rack, but it could take two days to dry clothes and we ended up having to use a hair dryer to finish off some thicker clothes. If the tumble dryer issue could be addressed this would definitely be a 5 star cottage.

Helpful and pleasant hosts.

Property ideally situated in tranquil surroundings yet close to Dunblane. Easy transport links to major cities.

I found the cottage very clean, tidy, well-presented and well-equipped.

The kitchen and bathroom appear recently refurbished. The owners are pleasant and helpful. My stay was very short as I had a family funeral to attend nearby, and chose the cottage in preference to a hotel. I would have liked to have had the time to explore the area further; perhaps another time. I'd happily stay here again, while I am still nimble enough for the spiral staircase!

We really liked Maisie's Cottage.

A fantastic location with very friendly hosts. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Torsten and Conny from Germany

We had a nice stay at this lovely quiet cottage.

The owners met us on the first day and were helpful and friendly as was Truffle, the dog. We were pleasantly surprised to have a tray of goodies which included a bottle of Maisie's Cottage Sloe Gin which was lovely. It was a good base for travelling easily to local tourist spots. We were lucky to see deer on a couple of occasions on the estate.

I had a very enjoyable stay,the cottage was very cosy and it was a great base to tour around and in a lovely location.

The owners were very helpful & friendly and I just want to say thank you for the tray of goodies,it was much appreciated.

I think the bedroom could do with a bit of TLC, the wall paper is very old fashioned and they was mold on thr windows and rust marks on the walls.

A new telly would be a nice touch aswell.

We enjoyed a lovely stay at Maisie's Cottage over Christmas.

We arrived Christmas Eve after a long drive from Yorkshire and experienced a lovely warm, personal welcome from the owners (and their adorable pooch) and a fabulous tea tray laid out with biscuits, tea and gin! We found Maisie's to be lovely and warm, clean and probably the most well-equipped and kitted out cottage we have ever stayed in, all amenities are present, we were able to easily prepare our Christmas Dinner! We spent a lot of our time in the cottage as the weather was not great but we explored Stirling Castle on our last day which was excellent. We couldn't quite give it a full 5 stars as we had a couple of tiny negatives. We personally found the sofa, (which is not a sofa, its a sofa-bed) a challenge to get comfy on and the WiFi was very poor at 10Mb at its maximum. One of our bedroom windows was closed with sellotape which the owners did tell us about but it created a bit of draft and outside noise from the passing trains. None of these things affected our holiday but made it not possible for us to say it was 5-star 100% perfect. Its a lovely cottage and would recommend for a nice, quiet, warm, self-catering sanctuary to retreat back to after exploring the area.

Maisie's cottage is a delightful place to stay.

It has lovely walks from the doorstep, with plenty of bird life and even a deer. Although a very peaceful quiet spot, it is within easy reach of shops and places to visit, including Dunblane, the Wallace Monument, and Stirling caste. Further away is Loch Katrine, also well worth a visit. And if you feel like putting your feet up, you can sit in the cosy lounge looking out at the woods and fields enjoying some of the treats the welcoming owners have left for you.

A very enjoyable stay in a great little cottage in Central Scotland The owners (Susan and family) were very friendly and welcoming, and gave us lots of advice on activities to do while staying at their cosy cottage in the beautiful surroundings of the Kippenross estate.

The cottage is very homely and was perfect for our needs. Excellent walks on the doorstep to Dunblane (following directions given to go across a field, then an easy flat track out of the estate into the town centre), Bridge of Allan and Stirling both only a short drive away. Sitrling castle's tour was fabulous! Loads more to do and see in the surrounding areas within 30mins to 1 hour drive. Would love to be back very soon.

Our 2nd visit this year.

You cannot beat the loveliness and tranquillity of the cottage and its location. This time we came in Autumn and the colour from the wooded area is spectacular. Lovely greeting from the owners and as we'd been twice before, it felt like we were returning home! Definitely a great central location, we travelled to Dundee, Edinburgh and the Trossachs villages, and had a lovely meander through Dunblane enjoying the lovely shops there. A well kitted out cottage and we cannot wait to return. Thanks for sharing with us again.

A delightful, very well maintained cottage in the grounds of a family Estate.

All the essentials provided. A nice, south facing secluded seating area to the side of the cottage for relaxing. The perfect retreat.

Had a fabulous week at Maisie’s Cottage.

The owners were lovely and the estate surrounding it is beautiful. The cottage itself is very quaint and homely. A little gem. Excellent walks on the doorstep and there are shops just up the road in Dunblane. Stirling is a short drive away and has loads to see and do.

Our 2nd visit there over last few years and its exactly what you'd want from a peaceful, quiet week away.

Lovely hosts and a great cottage in an excellent location. We will be back for a 3rd visit.

We had a lovely stay in Maisie’s cottage.

The owner family is very friendly. Stirling is so beautiful and full of history.

What a charming wee cottage!

We thoroughly enjoyed our break here. Beautiful cottage, well equipped and in such an amazing location! If you want peace and quiet, this is the place for you. If you want to explore a beautiful part of Scotland, this is also the place for you! If you want to eat well, then this is the place for you too! Patrick, Susan and Lucinda( and Truffles) were lovely hosts, popping in to say hi and making sure we had everything we needed. The cottage is just so lovely and the wildlife round about is amazing! Could sit and listen to all the different bird sounds for hours! There are many places of interest to visit and the nearby towns of Dunblane and Bridge of Allan are lovely to wander around. Treat yourself at Gleneagles or Cromlix! The afternoon tea at Cromlix is the best ever and we even met Judy Murray which was lovely! Yes, yet again Sykes have come up with a fabulous property. This is our 6th Sykes stay and they have all been fantastic. Thank you!

Wonderful place, great location, very cosy, well equipped.

Lovely hosts. Would highly recommend.

Wonderful place, very central for visiting any places (or family).

We were welcomed by the owners (and doggy) in such a friendly way. Immediately a feel-at-home property that made us want to stay forever! Everything was available and all top quality. The beautiful accommodation was in perfect order. The property gives the feeling of being in the middle of 'nowhere' but with easy connection to villages, towns and more. I'd say this is an outstanding site and well worth a visit. (I just hope that not too many people read this and take up all the available weeks for their holiday, so there will be some left for us next time we can come over for a visit!)

A lovely comfortable,well-equipped cottage in a really beautiful setting.

It's a great base for visiting central Scotland and the owners are charming.

Maisie's Cottage is a lovely, cosy cottage which sits deep within the beautiful Kippenross estate.

Very peaceful & relaxing location surrounded by huge trees with the picturesque River Allan running nearby. We visited Stirling (6 miles away) which has an amazing castle & the Old Town Jail with a terrific actor who brought the jail visit to life. We did a walking tour of Stirling old town which was super interesting. Also would recommend a visit to Glasgow which was an easy train ride (40 mins) from Dunblane station. Outside the Queen St station, Glasgow, jump on the Hop On Hop Off sighting seeing bus. You can ride all day & jump off at the various spots on route & then jump back on.

What a wonderful place to stay.

Surroundings stunning, cottage immaculate, everything you need for a great getaway. If you love history, you'll love Maisie's Cottage and Kippenross. What lovely, helpful hosts as well....made you feel very welcome but discreet at the same time. We really didn't want to leave and I thought about taking up Squatters Rights in order to stay but it just felt wrong. Can't believe how lucky we were finding it.

Patrick Susan & Lucinda we’re really friendly and helpful A Lovley welcome from them on arrival.

A beautiful little cottage in a tranquil area

Lovely cottage in great surroundings.

Owner friendly and welcoming. On my early morning walk I saw a red squirrel on three mornings out of 4. Great location for roaming about.

A comfortable secluded retreat, highly recommended.

We had a fantastic stay at Maisie's Cottage - The owners greeted us on arrival, during the stay and when we departed.

The cottage provides great privacy with plenty of room for everything. They have thought of it all! Right down to the final touches (fresh flowers). The cottage was clean, comfortable and set in a beautiful location just south of Dunblane and a few minutes drive to Stirling which has all the shops/food places you need. The walks around the groud were truly breathtaking. Just a 15 min walk to the train station which have great train links into Edinburgh/Glasgow. We highly recommend this place to stay! 10/10

The Perfect Getaway!

We loved Maisie's cottage. Highly recommended. Peaceful with interesting birds, trees, and long walks. Close to historical Dunblane and nearby Stirling. Good rail and road links to all major cities.

We loved Maisie's Cottage.

Highly recommended.

We loved Maisie's cottage.

A peaceful location, lovely walks, and interesting birds and trees. Also close to Dunblane, Bridge of Allan, and train links to all major cities. The perfect getaway!

Fantastic time away at Maisie's Cottage.

Beautiful surroundings, comfy and cosy cottage that is well resourced. Owners made us feel very welcome.

Maisie's cottage is exactly as described on the site.

A great getaway for a tranquil holiday set within beautiful surroundings but also an accessible distance for many tourist attractions and half an hour from Glasgow and an hour from Edinburgh. The owners are very welcoming and accommodating. The cottage itself has everything you need, the reason I have given 4 out of 5 for comfort is that the bed is not as comfotable as our own - personal preference - and that the spiral staircase, as described in the advert, is not as easy to use as straight stairs. Two minor points that didn't detract from our wonderful stay. Thank you for making us so welcome.

Spotlessly clean.

Very nice owners. Extremely well equipped. Beautiful surroundings. Very comfortable stay.

We found the cottage met our needs in every way.

It was restful - peaceful..... in fact idyllic. Set in beautiful grounds (acres) with a river on the estate - we even spotted deers roaming the location. The cottage itself was central to be able to visit Stirling and the Trossachs. The property owners were very pleasant and helpful. Wish we could have stayed longer.

This property was magnificent!

It was the perfect location for our stay, it was clean the place was immaculate! The location was private and quiet and very peaceful. We could walk down to the river whcih was beautiful The hosts were amazing and told us all of the places we could visit. The only thing we struggled with was the comfort of the bed it was quite hard to sleep on but everything else was fantastic

Hi.

The property was lovely. The owner Susan greeted us on arrival day with truffles her dog. She seemed a very nice lady. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and would definitely recommend this to anyone. George

Lovely private location, friendly hosts, well provisioned inside, good value for peaceful stay.

Only downside was rather uncomfortable sofa bed in lounge as main sofa. Care needed with metal spiral staircase especially for tall people, with tight access in kitchen.

Lovely cottage with all the facilities you need

This is the perfect base for visiting central Scotland.

Maisie’s Cottage has everything you need and is just so cosy. The hosts were friendly, welcoming, and helpful. We will be back.

Excellent accommodation in a lovely setting.

This was a late booking made just before Christmas and the communication from the owners was excellent. Friendly hosts and a very well equipped cottage. Lots of space, good wi-fi, and well heated. Close enough to Dunblane to walk in, but far enough out to feel isolated. There are lots of lovely walks around the estate and the cottage is well located for more adventurous excursions!

What a find this place is.

Nestled on a beautiful estate, it feels like it is in the middle of nowhere and yet it is within walking distance of Dunblane and a short drive to Stirling. Hosts Susan, Patrick, Lucinda, and their pooch, were a delight, and only too willing to help if I had any questions, like where to go walking in the local area. The cottage has been really lovingly set up and I was really able to relax during my stay. I will certainly go again as there is so much to see and do in and around the area and slightly further afield. What an adventure I had as storm Arwen hit while I was staying there and trees came down. It was lovely to be able to help Malcolm, the tree surgeon and other people from the estate, to help clear them.

My wife and I had a fantastic week at Marie’s Cottage ,fitted out to a very high spec , the owners were very friendly and approachable, Maisie’s Cottage is set in a large estate very peaceful ,quiet and relaxing close to Dunblane and access’s to surrounding area ,would recommend excellent value for money .

Beautiful cottage set in idyllic surroundings,we had a warm welcome from the owners who were at hand should any problems arise, also offered information on the local area,we would recommend Maisie's Cottage to our family and friends

The cottage is set in a lovely secluded, picturesque area; is well equipped and warm, and the bed is extremely comfortable.

The only thing we were concerned about was the spiral staircase at night, as the bathroom is downstairs, although we did get used to it. There were lots of birds in the grounds, and we also spotted deer and a red squirrel. Susan, Patrick and Lucinda were very friendly and helpful, thank you. We hope to stay again. Ann & Derek

A loverly cottage in fantastic surroundings and great hosts x

Beautiful location and extremely quiet location, the hosts are very friendly and do leave you to enjoy your break.

Location is very central for travel north, west to beautiful countryside especially the lochs.

The cottage met all are needs and expectations, the owners were very helpful.

The cottage was in private grounds, so no worries about parking. All the facilities worked e.g Washer, Dish Washer and WiFi. I would recommend this for any couple wishing to get away.

We had a fantastic time at this amazing cottage.

The photos really don’t do it justice. Everything was first class from the peaceful countryside location, the excellent quality of the furnishings and fittings, all the extras provided, to the friendliness of the owners and their keenness to make sure we were well looked after. We would highly recommend to family and friends and definitely plant to go back ourselves very soon.

Lovely, well appointed cottage in a beautiful location.

The friendly & helpful owners went out of their way to make sure that we enjoyed our week. Would highly recommend.

Cottage is lovely and the place is truly magical.

Lovely experience. I was very surprised to see every little thing in the kitchen to use! ( most places that we stayed in before never had soap, bin bags etc). Highly recommend

Was high standard overall, clean, tidy, good facilities.

stair case was a challenge, but nice bedroom.
