    What our customers say about their holidays

    • Lisa - Verified booking

      The former farm buildings are beautifully renovated and were actually larger than we expected, decor was well thought of.

      The cottage was cleaned and sanitised to an exceptionally high standard and the communication we received from Isobel and her team immediately put our minds at ease prior to our stay. We arranged for online groceries to be delivered prior to our arrival and these were very kindly put away for us. The surrounding area was tranquil and very picturesque, the property is surrounded by sprawling countryside with stunning views for miles. We all enjoyed early mornings sitting outside reading whilst listening to the birds and the children loved watching the rabbits play on the nearby field. The property had a particularly large mature garden which the children (and the adults!) enjoyed playing in. Due to my son shielding we cooked most meals in the large kitchen; having the Rangemaster was fantastic as the children also spent a day baking. The Nespresso machine and varied assortment of pods was also an unexpected nicety -appreciated by everyone! The huge Gin Gan style living room was perfect for two families, we played board games, cards and watched movies. Bedrooms were well spaced apart and the configurations worked well. The bed were super comfortable and bed linen seemed of a very high quality (infact we took a photo of the label of the gorgeous mattress topper to order one ourselves). The cottage is perfectly situated between two small towns and a lovely walk to Gleneagles. Locally we enjoyed Argate Red Kites and squirrel feeding, Sterling and Duone Castles. Not too far away from Aviemore so we took a picnic up to Nethy Bridge and hand fed wild Coal Tits in the forest (well worth the two hour drive!). This really was a perfect holiday cottage, as well having a warm welcoming atmosphere the wonderful owners live near so were on hand to help save the day when we realised we'd forgotten baking powder (pretty essential for baking day!). It definitely ticked boxes for everyone, a perfect place to unwind and we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

    • Stewart - Verified booking

      Marketed well, but needs higher standards.

      While the accommodation suited our needs as a base where we could stay while on our walking holiday there are aspects of the cottage management that could be improved. There is no anti slip mat in the shower. It becomes very slippery when lathered and wet. A potential for an accident. The short step down from the bedrooms to the lounge is a potential trip hazard. It should be highlighted with high vis' tape. No-one wants an accident the first day of their vacation. A minor gripe was that the hand gel soaps provided were watered down and the pump action on the bottles didn't work. Owners should consider renewing them now and again. No hand towel for drying dishes was provided. With two medium sized dogs there is no garden available for them to exercise in or yoga stretch. The wall at the front is very low and easy for pets to jump the wall onto oncoming traffic if unattended. Even with our well trained dogs we still had to maintain a ceaseless vigilance on them. The log basket for the wood burner literally had four logs in the basket. Hardly enough to keep the wood burner alight for 2 hours. There is a notice that you can fill the basket for an additional charge of £10.- deemed cheaper than the village shop. We brought logs purchased in Dunoon for £7.- We suggest the photographs of the Loch views should be taken from the cottage gallery as there is no Loch views from the cottage. My wife works for a company that also rents out cottages therefore our comments are based on an acceptable industry standard and not petty gripes. Having stated the above we still enjoyed our stay in Argyll as it is a beautiful part of Scotland. The cottage after all was only a place to stay at night after being out all day.

    • Deborah - Verified booking

      This is a cosy, semi-detached cottage in a small village called Millport.

      It has two bedrooms, each with a double bed, and a compact living area. NB: this cottage has no central heating or piped hot water. Gunpowder cottage has a lot to recommend it if you plan ahead for these conditions. There’s an electric shower, a wood-fired stove in the living area, and space heaters in the bedrooms. The floors are slate and can be very cold underfoot in October when we visited. Plan ahead by bringing warm slippers, warm pyjamas, and extra blankets if you are visiting in colder parts of the year (September to May). We found the location very quiet and an excellent base for exploring the Cowal peninsula. The internet works great. The dishwasher is weirdly in the laundry area but we managed because there’s no hot water to wash dishes by hand. Once you get the wood stove going, it’s very warm in the living room. You’ll have to pay £7.50 for each bundle of wood. There’s books, games, and a nice smart tv. Think of it as an upscale bothie. The Morrisons in Dunoon has everything for cooking up a great meal and there’s loads of beautiful walks nearby. Puck’s Glen is unmissable and the nearby Kilbride Bay is stunning. It is a gorgeous area. There’s a lot of wildlife, especially birds. If I had any suggestions to the owners: please include some extra blankets, a hairdryer and maybe a plunger for the toilet.

    • Maria - Verified booking

      The Roundhouse exceeded expectations - bigger and better.

      It is in a blissfully quiet location, with lovely views out of the main (round!) living room. Very well equipped - full weeks worth of toilet roll/detergent etc. All bedrooms had bathrobes and slippers, and a cute toiletries kit (shower gel, shampoo, conditioner) plus hairdryer. Smart television. Supermarkets deliver to the house and the owners/cleaners will take in the groceries for you if you arrange the time with them so it's all there when you arrive. The central heating was ferociously efficient, and loads of really hot water. The cleaners had done a very good job. Isobel and John were particularly friendly and helpful hosts, making the holiday and getting around easier. They have clearly taken a lot of trouble to make their house inviting and welcoming, and go the extra mile to help you. The location is good - centrally placed, lots of good roads so driving to scenic locations for walks/trips/days out is easy. Gleneagles station is only a few miles away, on the main line to Stirling, Perth and Inverness. The Roundhouse itself is up a single track road, but good visibility and plenty of passing places so even a mediocre driver like me could manage! Thorougly recommend.

      The Roundhouse exceeded all our expectations for a self-catering stay.

      Nestled in the rolling hills of Blackford, Scotland, this charming cottage offered stunning views and a tranquil escape for our multi-generational family. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the immaculate cleanliness. The thoughtful touches, like the gift baskets filled with toiletries, luxurious dressing gowns, and slippers, truly elevated our experience to a hotel-like feel. Even the little things, like a hairdryer and a Nespresso machine with pods, were greatly appreciated. The spacious and well-equipped kitchen made mealtimes a breeze, and the washing machine and dryer were lifesavers with young children in tow. But the true stars of the show were the breathtaking views and abundant wildlife sightings right outside our doorstep. The kids were enthralled, and we all enjoyed the peacefulness of the location. The owners were incredibly friendly and made themselves readily available for any questions we had. We all would love to return one day soon. If you're looking for a luxurious and comfortable self-catering getaway that caters perfectly to families, The Roundhouse is an absolute gem!
