Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviews frequently commend the cottage's cleanliness, with numerous guests noting it was 'spot on' and 'in good order'. Only one review mentioned an unresolved issue with ants, but this seems to be an isolated incident.
The location is highly praised for its tranquility and proximity to nature, with easy access to local attractions. However, one review mentioned a lack of information about a local event affecting access, slightly impacting the score.
Comfort is a standout feature, with guests loving the 'huge, comfortable bed' and the cosy atmosphere enhanced by a wood burner. Only minor comments about noise from rain on skylights and a desire for outdoor loungers suggest room for improvement.
Facilities are generally well-received, with the cottage being described as well-appointed and fully equipped. However, some guests experienced issues with Wi-Fi and ants, and one mentioned the need for more cutlery and crockery.
Many guests appreciated the thoughtful touches, such as a welcome pack and the fire being set upon arrival. While these gestures are warmly received, it is politely noted that such amenities are subject to availability and not guaranteed.

Dunblane is a small cathedral town situated six miles north of Stirling. Its main landmark is Dunblane Cathedral and the Allan Water runs through the town centre, with the Cathedral and the High Street on the east side. The nearby town of Bridge of Allan is a former spa town at the foot of the Ochil Hills near Stirling. Today, the main street bears Alexander Hendersons name and the town is prosperous and home to Stirling University, a golf club and many shops and restaurants. So much of central Scotland is within easy reach of Dunblane, and it has good road and rail links to Glasgow, Edinburgh and St Andrews. The area is a haven for walkers, cyclists, anglers and nature lovers, and golfers are well served with Gleneagles about 20 minutes' drive away, along with Carnoustie and St Andrews, about an hours drive away. The Ochil Hills are on the doorstep, and Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park a short drive to the north. Dunblane offers an excellent central touring location, while closer to home is the historic, of Bridge of Allan.
