Not quite as expected
In our opinion, while the property has some positives—cleanliness, a well-equipped kitchen, and a beautiful location near Aberfeldy—our stay was quite disappointing. We felt that the property guide was overly strict, with too many rules that made it difficult to relax and enjoy the space. For example, the heating was off when we arrived and controlled by timers that we couldn’t adjust. Combined with numerous rules about its use, the property was often cold, which made our stay uncomfortable. Additionally, the rule against moving the lounge furniture to suit our needs felt unnecessarily restrictive. In our view, the claim of being pet-friendly was misleading. The restrictions on where dogs could go and the unfenced outdoor space didn’t align with what we expect from a pet-friendly property. The unexpected £25 charge per dog, which wasn’t mentioned on the VRBO site, added to our frustration. There were also other issues. The welcome basket of wood for the stove was missing, and basic supplies like extra toilet roll and kitchen roll weren’t provided, which we believe should be standard in any rental. Overall, while the location is great, we wouldn’t return due to these issues. The abundance of rules made it hard for us to feel comfortable and relax during our stay.

A lovely place to stay
The property is lovely and comfortable and contained everything we required for our stay. The property is well maintained and clean. The owners were on hand - never intrusive - to offer friendly advice or assistance. The surrounding area was also lovely with lots of things to do.

ruime woning, mooie rustige locatie
De woning is ruim en ligt rustig gelegen. Vanuit de woning loop je zo de natuur in. De eigenaren zijn zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam. De wifi ontvangst is prima om aan de behoefte van 2 pubers te voldoen. De slaapkamer en woonkamer is up-to date. De badkamer en toilet is zeer ruim en kan wel een update gebruiken. Ook de apart keuken is ruim en er is veel servies en bestek aanwezig.

Schöner Sommerurlaub in einer ruhigen Umgebung
Die Gegend um Aberfeldy ist schön. Man kann viel unternehmen. Wanderungen, Destillieren besuchen, Schlösser ansehen, Minigolfen (besser gesagt Putten), Essen gehen und relaxen. Unsere Kinder haben sich den Besuch in Schottland gewünscht und sehr genossen. Unsere Mädels haben die Pferde in der Nachbarschaft immer wieder besucht und die große Schaukel auf dem Gelände genutzt. Unser Sohn hat einen Staudamm im Fluss direkt neben dem Haus gebaut, die Wiese zum Fußballspielen genutzt und oft Feuer im Kamin gemacht. Unsere Vermieter, die direkt nebenan wohnen, sind sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Das Haus ist schön eingerichtet und auch mit unseren drei Kindern sehr großzügig. Kleines Manko: Die Internetverbindung (egal ob WLAN oder mobile Daten) ist sehr „Tagesform abhängig“. An einigen Tagen war diese gut, an anderen sehr schlecht. Janette and Keith, Many thanks for the wonderful holidays!
