Lovely autumn break
We stayed for a week at this lovely cosy (but really large) log cabin. The owner was so accommodating and quick to respond to a query I had prior to staying, and gave us lots of suggestions about the beautiful local area. The property was exceptionally clean and spacious, had everything we needed, was really warm after a day out hiking and was just so spacious for our family of five. The three bathrooms were much appreciated, it was nice to have a bath after being out in the Scottish weather all day. We found lots to do (mostly hikes) in the local area, many on Anna’s recommendation - Schiehallion (Munro), Birks of Aberfeldy, Faskally, Allean/Queen’s View, Killiekrankie, Ben Lawers. Also a lovely visit to the Pitlochry Dam and fish ladder visitor centre , dog friendly, and really interesting. We ate out at the Inn on the Tay, and Mains of Taymouth, both lovely, and got a takeaway from Chillies in Aberfeldy, also good. There’s no local shop as the campsite shop has shut for the season at the end of September, so it just means you need to be organised to save a trip to the Co-op in Aberfeldy/Pitlochry, not a problem at all. The area was really beautiful, somewhere we hadn’t explored before, and we would love to come back, and would love to stay in Anna’s lovely property again.

Just back from a lovely 3 night stay. We stayed in the lochside Lodge, it was more than we could have asked for. Spotlessly clean, well equipped with all top of range appliances very spacious with all ensuite rooms and the most stunning views of Loch, mountains and deers. Host Anna was very friendly and checked we were happy with everything . As a family of 5 we have stayed in many places but this is special one. We can't wait to return.

A Quiet Getaway
Cabin is lovely and has everything you need for a quiet weekend break. It was more out of the way than we thought but as we had our elderly parents with us we weren’t going out and about too much. Great for this purpose but if you are looking for more things on hand this is probably a bit isolated. Never the less I would definitely stay again.

My friends and I enjoyed our stay. Everything we needed was provided to us. The only thing that bothered me slightly was the poor internet speed, but given the area, that can’t really be helped.

Lovely lodge in Perthshire
We had a lovely stay in the Lochside Lodge during a very wet autumn week. The lodge itself is faultless really - very nicely laid out, great decor etc. Only observation is that, as a hater of 'the big light' being on in a room, the main living room and master bedroom are very lowly lit by the remaining lamps. Could do with something brighter. For dog walkers, it is not easy to do a short local walk as the site is surrounded by a deer farm. This wasn't a huge issue as there are lovely walks within a short drive at Aberfeldy (Birks of Aberfeldy) and Tummel village to name only two. Very restful week and would love to return to the site in better weather :)

Thank you for highlighting the lighting in the main room, it has been mentioned before so I’m off to order a lamp now! If you bring your dogs back I’d be happy to point you in the direction of some more local walks. The nearest stomp is across from the park entry and goes around the opposite hillside. The Birks is a fabulous 3km walk though so I’m pleased you found that! We hope we can welcome you back soon! Kind regards, Anna

A lovely lodge in a very peaceful location – in fact on of the best we have ever stayed in. A spacious living area with generous bedrooms meant that we never felt crowded despite there being seven of us (and the dog!). Particularly appreciated the small details such as individual thermostats in every room including the bathrooms, and proper instructions for all the various appliances. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would recommend it to anyone. Many thanks to Anna whom we found very helpful too.

Beautiful lodge
Thank you, Anna, we had a wonderful holiday! We are a family of 4 plus a dog (children aged 12 and 10). We travelled up from the South of England and made this the first half of our holiday in Scotland (currently now in Glencoe). The lodge is beautiful, so very spacious with three large bedrooms all with their own bathroom. Such beautiful finishing touches and very clean. Washer/dryer, fridge/freezer and dishwasher all in the lodge. Couldn't locate cafetiere, potato peeler, garlic crusher, scissors, nor any decent small sharp knives. Kitchen loaded with dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid, tea, coffee etc. Plenty of storage space with large wardrobes and bedside tables. Missed the obligatory guest book, perhaps removed temporarily because of Covid? Check out at 9am was no mean feat and we did feel rushed! Communication with Anna was excellent, all enquiries and questions responded to fully and quickly. The site is extremely peaceful, often all you could hear were the birds and the ducks. Deer just over the other side of the loch. Beautiful walk behind the lodge into the deer wood and up into the mountains. We had a fantastic lunch at the Habitat café in Aberfeldy and a wonderful evening meal at the Ailean Chraggan hotel (calamari, mussels, steak...) The chocolatier in Grandtully was great, quite the visitor experience and we enjoyed delicious coffee and cakes there too. We visited Queens View, Loch Tay (Kenmore is a gorgeous little village to explore), Loch Rannoch, Loch Tummel, Linn of Tummel, House of Bruar (touristy, busy, expensive, wouldn't revisit), Blair Atholl, and Glen Lyon (amazing little tea room there and then the most picturesque drive from Bridge of Balgie to Killin via Ben Lawers Dam, absolutely stunning). Had booked canyoning but unfortunately was cancelled due to the heavy rainfall overnight. Otherwise, weather was fab, warm and dry. Aberfeldy a lovely little town with some great walks around. We had a wonderful week, peaceful and relaxing and filled with some lovely walks and scenery but also plenty of lazy mornings and late evenings enjoying the peace and tranquility from the verandah of the lodge.

Lovley spacious lodge , very clean and in a lovely location with stunning views , comfy beds made for a good nights sleep. Our only concern was we felt the sofas could be doing with being upgraded 3 0f our party have mobility issues and struggled daily rising up from sofas.. The sofa seats needed more padding as you were falling into the middle . The left hand arm rest felt like you were resting against the wooden frame.. The coloured kitchen knives could do with being replaced..the tips were broken on a few of them.. If the sofa issues were redressed we would have no hesitation in booking the booking the lodge again ..

Hi Jean, we too have noticed the padding has failed on the sofas. Made much more noticeable by the lack of cushions we are able to supply due to strict covid regulations. We are sorry this affected the quality of your stay. I hope you will be pleased to hear we have just organised two brown Italian leather sofas to take their place which will arrive shortly. I’ll also be having a look at those knives too as we like to keep the lodge in top order. If you book again Jean let me know about your groups mobility issues and I can provide a shower chair if that’s of anything help? Kind regards, Anna

We loved it!
The place was absolutely stunning, the cabin itself had everything we needed and the location was really gorgeous. It was perfect for what we needed - a chilled weekend away! We’ll definitely be back

Beautiful location
Beautiful location with fantastic views. Lovely lodge with all amenities you would require. Only downside is the beds. Not very comfortable and creaked loudly every time you moved!

Hi Jim, we are so glad you enjoyed the lodge and the views. It really is a magical place. However I was very sorry to hear about your experience with the beds. We have tightened and sorted the frames so there is no more creaks and I am sourcing a new mattress for the master bed as I want our guests to have a 5 star experience always! We hope you’ll visit again. Kind regards, Anna

Perfect
We had a fantastic stay here. The lodge is beautiful & the views were amazing. So much better than you can describe. Hassle free check in & out & communication excellent with the owner. The lodge has everything you need. My boys wanted to move here! Already looking to book again for next year. Would definitely recommend this place! Thank you for a lovely stay.
