First Class

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.

Homecoming

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.

A lovely cottage in a great location

The cottage is great, very nice inside and right in the centre of town but with easy access to the surrounding area for walks in the hills etc. We would recommend it.

In three words “absolutely first class”

Clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated, it had everything we needed for our 10 night stay. Jo’s greeting was warm and welcoming, and she explained everything we needed to know. If you get the chance, spend some time at the top of the garden. It’s a peaceful sun trap, with great views over Dunblane. Dunblane itself was a very pleasant surprise. It’s got lots of history in the close-by Museum, Leighton Library and Cathedral. There’s plenty of places to eat, with our favourites being The Riverside, The Old Churches House Hotel Bistro and Tilley’s Cafe. We also used it as a base for touring round. The A9/M9 is very close, and we were amazed that there are trains every 30 minutes from the nearby Dunblane Railway Station to both Edinburgh and Glasgow, and the closer Stirling and Perth.

Beautifully presented, The Cottage exceeded our expectations for a short break.

Firstly, communications with the owner, Jo, were great - fast, friendly and full of good info! She had prepared the wood-burner for us and came in to personally welcome us shortly after our arrival. Jo waxed lyrical about the views from Dumyat and they were terrific (weather was kind!). The Cottage is perfectly kitted out with kitchen, bathroom and living room elegantly pragmatic. We were only staying for 2 nights, but it's a fantastic discovery that left husband, wife and dog feeling much more relaxed than when we arrived. (Kids slightly envious though;) Highly recommend!

Perfect Romantic Getaway!

We loved our stay at the cottage! It was exactly what we were looking for. It was clean, cozy, decorated to a very high standard and very central but remote, we didn’t need to drive anywhere. The icing on the cake was the log burner that was crackling away On our arrival, the chilled cava in the fridge and delicious home made treats-thank you Jo. Last but not least the bath, Heaven want one!

The Perfect Cottage Getaway

We stayed at The Cottage for 3 Nights and it was lovely! The location was ideal for our wee break and the people in Dunblane are very friendly. Jo met us on our arrival and made us feel very welcome and The Cottage was equipped with everything you needed and to a very high standard. Also, the treats that Jo left for us were divine. Lastly, I have to say the bath - it was fantastic!
