  This holiday cottage is a lovely spacious bungalow in a quiet cul-de-sac.

  It was clean but lacks a lot of touches that we have always had in previous cottages. On telephoning the owner regarding the keys I was made aware that the dishwasher was broken, as I do not own a dishwasher I was not concerned regarding this, however, I was not advised to take a dishcloth, fortunately I had taken one along with tea towels as mentioned in the facilities provided also there were no cleaning produce i.e. bleach or Cif type cleaner. The pedal bin in the kitchen was only the size normally found in the bathroom and no where near big enough for a kitchen - no bin liners provided either. We made a trip to Tesco which is about 2 miles away to stock up on these things. The toaster had not been cleaned and was full of crumbs, and in the bread bin there was a crust of bread and a loaf of bread that was 3 days out of use. In other cottages we have stayed in there has always been a fresh carton of milk in the fridge but NOT at Isla Cottage again fortunately we had taken some. The lighting in the lounge is inadequate, there is one centre light and one table lamp both with 7 watt low energy bulbs making it impossible to read in the evening. In the bathroom there is NO shaver point or mirror over the washbasin to shave with. Finally, the outside bin for general rubbish was full to bursting obviously never been emptied for a while. There should be someone appointed to put out the rubbish bins on the appropriate days.

  Absolutely loved our stay at Larch Cottage .

  The cottage was so warm and cosy. We actually switched off all of the radiators as was warm enough without heating on. Loved the walk in shower and underfloor heating downstairs. 2 lovely big comfy sofas in living room, one each. The views from all of the windows are priceless, stunning colours on the trees in autumn. Open the velux and you can hear all of the birds and at night you can hear the hoot of owls all around . We took our little dog and she loved it, so many walks on the doorstep. Walked into Aberfeldy town, walked the riverside, along to Castle Menzies to name a few. Drove to Kenmore, along Loch Tummel and the scenery is spectacular & breathtaking, especially in Autumn. There are walks for all abilities, gentle to full on hiking into the hills and forests. We brought all of our own food as the cottage is well equipped for cooking, but there are supermarkets in Aberfeldy if needed. It was just such a tonic, the cottage, the scenery, I didn't want to go home.

  The wee cottage was easy to access using the key box. There is parking directly outside the cottage but it is limited. The inside of the cottage is lovely. Everything was clean and bright and the kitchen was well equipped. The heating was off when I arrived - which normally wouldn’t be a problem in Crieff in June but it has been a not great summer and the property was cold. It took me a wee while to work out how to put the heating on and then it took even longer for the property to heat up. The garden out the back was very unkept and overgrown which was a shame as it is a pet friendly property but the garden (which was one of the reasons I booked for me and my dog) was not usable. This is why I have given 3 stars. If the garden had been usable I would have given more. The bed was very comfy. A massive plus for me. The location is very central in Crieff so once I’d parked my car everywhere was walkable.

  Good location for exploring the local area from with lots of walks that didn't require getting in the car first.

  Good communication from the hosts around check in process. Disappointed with the cleanliness, lots of cobwebs throughout the property (some which had large families of spiders living in them) and dishes required to be washed prior to use. We understood the property was dog friendly prior to booking and brought our own dog with us but didn't expect to find as much dog hair everywhere upon check in. The living area clearly hadn't been hoovered, we found pieces of copper metal on the floor which were a danger to our dog. The bed linen was clean and comfortable. However I would recommend future guests bring their own towels as the ones provided were very small and had seen better days. The bathroom was surface clean but again would benefit from a scrub.Feel the property overall is in need of a deeper clean between guests in order to make a stay here more enjoyable.

  The property was warm and well situated close to some great places to visit.

  The family enjoyed a good week visiting Dunkeld, Aberfeldy and Dundee. Bike storage was available in the garage... which is a real bonus for cyclists as this is not usually available at properties! Plenty of facilities within the house for a comfortable stay. Only disappointments were the amount of dog hairs on the throws on the sofa, hairs under the sofas and also the 'smart tv'... a basic smart TV is a minimum in a property these days, especially when listed. This TV couldn't even load iplayer! We don't watch a lot of telly, but being stuck to terrestrial is a bit out of date! Despite the above, we would happily stay again! Just bring a fire stick! We would recommend the Birks of Aberfeldy walk whilst visiting. Lots of facilities within the town. The neighbourhood is very quiet so far for a family break.
