We stayed a week over the New Year. The cottage was excellent. It was warm, clean and comfortable. Betty the owner had left us a laid table to celebrate Hogmanay including crackers and a bottle of wine. Which was a lovely touch. The cottage is located in the centre of Comrie and from there we did some great walks around the village. Would definitely recommend.

Although we knew that Caroch Cottage was near a sharp bend on a very busy main through road, we did not realise how congested the road was with heavy vehicles.Also, there is quite a lot of construction work going on around the village so this adds to the congestion. Where we were advised to park our car in the public car park 100m away, which was in use throughout the day by school teachers at the primary school. Around the village parking is limited.I think the cottage is badly situated as the front door opens onto a very narrow main footpath which makes it a tad difficult with the amount of traffic using the road.Caroch cottage itself is in need of modernisation if it's used during the winter months. It would benefit from double glazing, upgraded heating and a better shower unit. Most of the visitors use the cottage as a base to explore the surrounding areas. However, at some point the weather may force people to stay at home during the winter months and the cottage is not the warmest of places.We found Caroch cottage to be generally clean but would benefit from a deep clean as the tops of units were dusty as were some of the higher areas, the room edges and behind the headboard on the bed.But on the plus side we enjoyed the stay, we revisited places from past visits and just enjoyed the walks.
