. Good quality utensils etc. The table football and the hot tub were a hit. We all loved it. One point for the owners to note is that the dining table chairs could do with some more padding. But that's just an observation to help them, not a complaint or even a negative.
Linda
(Crockery, glasses, utensils etc). Good location for long or short walks. Even the weather was kind to us for most of the time. Comfy beds. We spent a lot of time together in the dining area, chatting, eating and drinking as there was so much space. Everyone attending has thanked me for organizing such a wonderful weekend. Cant wait to do it again sometime.

First off the whole house was very clean and the bathrooms were immaculate. Lovely rooms throughout the property and the kitchen/diner is superb to get everyone together. Kids loved the hot tub and I loved the wee bottle of Aberfeldy. Nice touch. Killin is a lovely place with great walks by the loch and the falls of dochart are impressive. Overall we had a lovely family break and making memories in this lovely home. Also got a call from a lovely woman half way through our stay to ask if everything was to our satisfaction. It's the little things
