Wonderful Cottage Stay

This is a lovely cottage, beautifully decorated and homey. It is well-equipped with very comfortable beds. The cottage sits across from wonderful gardens. It is a short walk into Dunblane. We enjoyed the Dunblane to Ashfield walk along the Allan Water (stream) with spring blooms just beginning. The train to Edinburgh was easy and far superior to trying to drive there. This is the most expensive VRBO we have stayed in, quite a splurge for us, but we have to admit that it was a real delight. The host, Debbie, was kind and attentive.

Great property for couples traveling together.

7 accommodations in 16 days and this one ranked right up there. No stairs... two lovely full bathrooms, great location! So clean and nice goodie box from the host.

Full of charm in a nice and quiet neighborhood

We absolutely fell in love with this cottage and its surroundings. Situated in a private community, this cottage felt as though we actually lived in Dunblane. We enjoyed the tranquility of it so much that we were okay foregoing some plans to take full advantage of the peace and quiet the cottage had to offer. The beds are comfortable and the house is designed to private privacy within the home. Debbie was wonderful and was very attentive to our needs. We were warned of the 15 minute uphill walk (which was slightly uphill at most) but with a teen and a senior with a hip issue in tow, we took that trip several times without issue. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Lovely cottage in Dunblane

Beautiful, well-equipped cottage that was perfect for 4 adults or a family of 4 to 5. The setting was lovely and the location was quiet but within walking distance to Dunblane. Don't miss Another Miss Tilly's Tearoom...cozy spot for breakfast or tea with very friendly staff.
