Our only grumble is that it was lacking in kitchen storage space for our provisions, with minimal worktop space for food prep. Kitchen would benefit from better layout. Otherwise would def recommend.x

We're a family of 4 with two young kids (1 & 3 years old). Fordie was the highlight of our stay! The accommodation was terrific value, and we were pleasantly surprised on arrival that it was even better than the photos. The owners/managers have put a lot of thought into fitting the cottage out and it's been done and maintained to a high standard. Fordie is a lovely bustling estate in a perfect location. Rural enough to feel like part of the countryside, with lovely walks on the doorstep (for all abilities), but not far from the major roads/motorways, a supermarket within 10 mins one way (Crieff) and a lovely coffee shop the other (Comrie). I had a nice chat with Sheenagh, who looks after the property. We enjoyed walks up Deil's Cauldron and Loch Turret with the kids, and went to the Auchingarrich wildlife park too. Would recommend them all. Loch Turret is a good start for more challenging walks, or there's the track alongside the Loch for an easier route. I left trying to work out ways we could move to the area!

The cottage was warm, comfortable and quiet and, to our delight, red squirrels live nearby. It was a real joy to watch them scampering up the drive most mornings! Our only small 'niggle' was the lack of water pressure for the shower which meant it wasn't as powerful as we'd have liked but it was sufficient to do the job and wouldn't deter us from staying here again. The location was excellent, close enough to a main road to get out and about quickly but it still felt 'off the beaten track' and a cosy retreat to return to after a days hiking / sightseeing. Some lovely walking is to be found in the woods behind the cottage - mostly well made forest tracks - and Comrie is accessible this way, avoiding the main road. Crieff is good to visit and for 'supermarket' shopping (Aldi / co-op) and also has a superb deli + cafe! Comrie is pretty but limited and not everything was open on the days we visited (out of main holiday season). The circular walk round Glen Lednock was lovely though (more squirrels!). All in all, a great base for a wonderful relaxing holiday in a beautiful part of the country. We hope to return soon.
