A lovely cottage in lovely location!
We stayed at this cottage as a our bolt hole to visit family and friends. It is a lovely cottage and ideally suited to access so much of Scotland. We enjoyed the lovely secluded walled garden - when the sun was shining. We were only 15 minutes walk to Dunblane and all of its services including the train links to Edinburgh and Glasgow. We also enjoyed the hour and a half walk on the ancient Darn Path to get to Bridge of Allen. Highly recommend

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.

Gardener's cottage
We had a lovely stay at the Gardener's cottage. It is nicely renovated with a large kitchen for preparing family meals. The cottage exceeded our expectations.

Super house and location
We had a fabulous time. Lots of walking, loads to do and see round about. Dunblane is a very pretty town, as we're Doune and Bridge of Allan. We will be back.
