Lovely cottage in pretty town of Dunblane. Beautifully decorated throughout full of character. Comfy bed and great shower. Everything spotlessly clean. Highly recommended for stay in this beautiful part of Scotland.

Cannot fault the accommodation or the owner, both first class. Well located property for nearby walks, restaurant and pub. Railway station also close by for trains to Stirling , Edinburgh, Glasgow , Perth , plus many other locations. Dunblane is a quiet peaceful place. Just returned , and already looking at our diary for a return visit.

Beautifully appointed, comfortable cottage. A hiccup with the door lock was quickly fixed. I grew up in the town and this was a lovely base to explore my old habitat and reconnect with school friends. I would book it again.

4 Night Break in Dunblane
Positives: Great Location, comfy bed, super well equipped (the best we have had), nicely furnished, great host, very easy to communicate with. Negatives: The downstairs was extremely cold even with the central heating on, the back door needs replaced. There is a log burner but it’s difficult to use and pointless since it cancels out the central heating which means no heating upstairs. We actually left the property a day early as we were miserable sitting in the lounge area due to it being cold out and the one radiator not being sufficient to warm the property, The property being mid terrace was very dark, and the lighting is not great so made it impossible to sit with a good book and relax. The last part was the stairs, they are practically vertical and I really feel this should be mentioned in the property details as they are totally unsuitable for people with mobility issues, we don’t have, but the stairs were daunting for us and if we had known about them we would not have booked this particular property.

Beautiful cottage with equally lovely garden. Bed was super comfy and that bath - wow! Jo was so helpful in giving us recommendations which were fantastic. Dunblane is so pretty and we were made most welcome by everyone. Fantastic restaurants and shops on the doorstep. Can't rate highly enough, thank you.
