Summary: I had not realized on booking that the second bedroom was in the loft and accessible by a wooden loft ladder. Both my sister and I are retired and neither of us could get the ladder down. We decided not to contact Helen as we wouldn't have been able to go up and down the ladder anyway. It is very steep and doesn't have any handrailsThe property itself is an old style cottage with a good size kitchen which had some groceries to start us off. A lovely touch after a 7 hour journey.The living area is a good size but the sofa is only really for two people so if there are four of you then you would be on chairs.We were unable to turn on the shower but after messaging Helen she came back quickly to tell us to pull the cord outside the shower. We arrived late and in the dark and could find the parking space which turned out to be at the front. There was a van parked next to it and it was tight to get into with an SUV. I had to go onto the garden bit so the car wasn't sticking out into the road.For some reason we both couldn't get the lock box open with the key in. Safe to say it would be easier without long nails.The double bed was comfortable in the bedroom and we found extra throws in the cupboard. There was a free standing heater in there which I had on a couple of times. Unfortunately there is another property that goes over the bedroom and it sounded like they were moving furniture and walking about for an hour and a half on the last night. Not the property owners fault

Summary: We stayed in the cottage for a night for my friends birthday. The host was lovely, friendly and approachable. The cottage was nice enough with adequate facilities. I would say a bit small for 4 adults as not enough comfy seats for four. The location was quiet and quaint. The owner was lovely and left clear instructions for access etc. The bathroom and kitchen were clean and the bedding was clearly freshly laundered. Good kitchen facilities for needs. Handy location for gleneagles. The guests found access to the upstairs bedroom a bit of a challenge and the ladders did block access to the kitchen slightly when down.

Summary: Great little cottage in a lovely village. You'll find everything you need and more in the cottage. It's very quiet and peaceful and just a short drive to Gleneagles and Auchterarder. Our host sent detailed instructions for everything and was always available if we needed her.

Summary: This location was just what our family of four needed to be comfortable in pur own rooms for our first few nights in Scotland. We appreciated the food items available and that the shop close by had other essentials. In the easy to use kitchen we made a couple of meals to enjoy at the dining table and also in the peaceful garden. Great washer and drying rack for clothes fir light packers like us. The washroom was large and had some toiletries to use as well as a heated towel rail which we now need to put in at home! Easy access to Gleneagles and Auchterarder for a visit with family and for touring Stirling, Callander, Doune, Crieff and The Hermitage. Beds were a bit too soft and the garden spiders were huge but the bedrooms and living room we used for a cot were great, thank you so much Helen!
