Guests say
Craigmore Cottage is consistently praised for its stunning location, warmth, and welcoming atmosphere. Guests enjoy the proximity to Dunkeld, the ease of access to walks, and the well-equipped kitchen. The cottage's cosy living room with a log burner and comfortable beds are highlights, though some guests mention a cool downstairs bedroom and a challenging access road.
The cottage is described as very clean, with no negative comments on cleanliness, indicating high standards are maintained.
The location is highly regarded for its beauty and convenience to Dunkeld and walks, though the access road's condition slightly affects the score.
Guests find the beds very comfortable and the living room cosy, but there is a mention of a cool downstairs bedroom which suggests room for improvement.
The cottage is well-equipped, particularly the kitchen and modern bathrooms. However, a need for more cutlery and the mention of limited headroom upstairs suggest some areas could be enhanced.
While guests find the cottage and the host welcoming, there are no specific mentions of gifts or extra thoughtful touches that would warrant a score in this category.
