WOW!!!

So much better than anywhere we have ever stayed! If you are going to the Edinburgh area, even though it’s a way outside of the city, it is well worth it! Clean, suits 4, unbelievably clean! Tracy and Jerome are unbelievable hosts, and make sure to say hello to the visiting pheasants you’re there! don’t worry, they are not a nuisance, and they don’t bother you at all! plenty of hot water and the kitchen area is very spacious!

Perfect

This was a perfect place for us. The accommodations were very clean and inviting. The grounds are unbelievably beautiful and tranquil. The hosts made us feel more like family than strangers. Could not ask for better communication. Attention to detail was very obvious. Even anticipated our needs and had some item in the refrigerator for us. Always seemed willing to help (from the moment we made our reservations). Swallows’ Nest was very comfortable. Thank you for a great couple of days!

A lovely experience

"Swallow's Nest" is part of a renovated historical building in a beautiful country setting. It's clean, well-maintained, and perfectly furnished with everything we needed for a week's stay. The set-up was perfect for us - a retired couple and an adult son - and worked well for local family members to come visit us. We even cooked a haggis dinner for 5! Tracey and Jerome were helpful when we needed them and unobtrusive when we didn't. A car is a must if you're going to stay here, and follow the driving directions carefully - it's a little tricky to locate and the sat nav got confused. We will definitely be back the next time we're in the Kinross area!

Un endroit magnifique!

Bien qu’à l’écart, l’emplacement de l’appartement est assez central pour visiter la région du centre de l’Ecosse pour ceux qui ont une voiture. L’ environnement est superbe, l’ambiance y est « cozy » et les propriétaires sont très gentils.

Fantastic accommodation in a beautiful setting

The Swallows Nest fails to disappoint. After staying there in 2019 when I was looking for accommodation in this area this was my first port of call. The self-contained flat is clean, well-presented, situated in beautiful grounds and Jerome and Tracey made us feel really welcome. This along with being conveniently close to our field study site made this the perfect place to stay.

A lovely place stay away from home

This is a blissful place to have a holiday. The gardens are beautifully kept, the accommodation is very spacious, and Tracey and Jerome are the most welcoming hosts. I would highly recommend it!

Top notch accommodation

It's not often that accommodation meets expectations never mind exceeding them. The swallows Nest did this. It's quiet, set in a beautiful rural setting, yet has easy access to the motorway and surrounding towns. Tracy and Jerome are considerate and helpful host. I appreciated having toast and coffee available for my first morning as I had a late arrival. My choice of accommodation couldn't have been better.

Highly recommended

We decided to holiday in Scotland and I came across Swallow's Nest by chance, I'm so glad I did. There was great communication with Tracey and Jerome - any questions I had in advance they were happy to answer. They greeted us on arrival and showed us the property which was exactly as described. It was very comfortable and had everything we needed. It was so peaceful and quiet and we even got to see a red deer in the garden the night before we left. Jerome and Tracey were lovely hosts, there if we needed them but left us to our own devices otherwise. I hope we get a chance to visit again one day.

Tolle, gemütliche und saubere Ferienwohnung

Haben uns als Familie ( 4 Personen) in der Wohnung sehr wohl gefühlt. Diese ist sehr geräumig und hat für Alle ausreichend Platz. Die Küche ist mit allem notwendigen ausgestattet und sehr sauber. Toll ist, dass es zwei Toiletten und Bäder gibt. Wohnzimmer ist sehr gemütlich. Es hat genügend Platz zum Unterstellen für Fahrräder. Die Vermieter sind sehr herzlich und hilfsbereit. Idealer Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge nach Edinburgh, Sterling und in die Highlands etc. . Schöne Abendspaziegänge zum Beispiel zu den Wasserfall bei Rumbling Bridge möglich.

Beautiful place, wonderful owners

The rooms were clean, exceptionally presented and spacious. We had everything we could possibly need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Useful items for our party of 3 included a fan, an iron and ironing board, ice for drinks, hairdryer etc etc. Before our stay we were provided with useful local info and we were greeted on arrival by welcoming and friendly owners. Nothing would be too much trouble. Parking was easy, gorgeous area, an easy and pleasant renting experience.

Hidden gem

The Swallows Nest is a real gem nestled alongside the owners own home within their beautiful garden situated on the edge of the Ochil Hills. The property is superbly presented throughout in a contemporary style and is extremely well equipped. The beds are exceptionally comfortable and waking up to such a diversity of bird species singing outside was an absolute delight . Tracey and Jerome were perfect hosts, making us feel really welcome and I would certainly recommend staying at The Swallows Nest.

Lovely property in a quiet rural location but within 20minutes can reach many amenities. Cottage/flat was beautifully maintained throughout with everything you may need to enjoy your stay. Tracey and Jerome were lovely and made us feel thoroughly welcome. We came away feeling very relaxed and rested.

Charming, clean and comfortable!

Property was well kept with plenty space, beds were comfortable, and hosts were very accommodating. We only stayed here one night as a stopover on our trip further north but would have happily stayed longer!
