"Excellent cottage and great location"
-
"The listing makes it sound a lovely, quiet detached cottage."
It was quite close to neighbours (local residents) on both sides. Apart from that one small niggle, everything else was perfect, even the weather in October!
-
"Excellent, overall."
Minor gripe from my partner who, being rather small, found she couldn't see herself in the bathroom mirror. A longer length mirror would have made hair and clothes tending far simpler. I cannot understand why so many people, in the past, have been unable to lock the front door. I can assure you that there is nothing wrong with the lock and anyone who is familiar with that type of locking mechanism (surely most people, these days) will not have a problem. Simply push/pull the door closed until the latch clicks (might require a bit of effort), raise the handle as far as it will go, and maintain pressure, then turn the key. Ben Grianan is a delightful and very peaceful place to stay. Glen Lyon is a glorious location.

"Loved our stay - more rural than we thought but absolutely stunning"
-
"We had such a lovely stay in your cottage."
Everything was great. We hadn't realised that the road from the end of the estate to Fotheringall was closed Monday to Friday,, but that is not a reflection on yourselves. The kids loved hill walking and took advantage of the good weather when we could. The front door would not lock, so we had to leave it unlocked all the time.

"Very remote but ok"
-
"A well provisioned cottage in a very secluded location, it was an absolute delight to stay here."
It should be noted that for most of our stay there was no T.V. reception but there were plenty of DVD's to watch. I would highly recommend staying here but be mindful that there really is no internet. Stunning location, gorgeous scenery.
-
"Beautiful area."
Cottage is comfortable and equipped with everything you need. Safe garden for dogs. Long drive to go anywhere, but was stated in description so we were prepared for that and as weather was really nice spent time round local area.
-
"The cottage had everything you need inside and is a great place to stay if you really want to be in the middle of nowhere surrounded by mountains and beautiful views."
Really need to fix the front door lock!

"We had a lovely stay at the cottage, found it very relaxing and enjoyable."
The cottage was well equipped and had good facilities, it had everything we needed. It is nicely decorated a suits the location, views are stunning. We found it ideal for the dogs as it has a field with access from the garden and nice walks along the river and Loch. I would definitely recommend to friends and family if you want an isolated getaway, this is the place. We will definitely have a return visit, wish we stayed longer as it’s so peaceful there. 5*

"Cottage was set in a lovely location unfortunately the lawyers road is closed ..."
Cottage was set in a lovely location unfortunately the lawyers road is closed all summer very unfortunate aberfeldy is the nearest place available for restocking the cottage it sell was very clean to a high standard not the same for the diy this leaves a lot to be desired the cottage also was cold to heat hot water requires the log fire which is ten pounds a basket lol logs were 4 pound at aberfeldy and were much cleaner and bod logs still dirty not described in the details we stayed for 14 nights half the party came home after 5 days the rest of us came home four day early the front door didn’t lock two towel and two hand towel provided for a fortnight and no change of bedding at least you can relax and sit on the rotten garden furniture provide would not recommend this for a family or young children was somes house all the discrpription is false apart from one it’s scenic
Thank you for your feedback. The Ben Lawers Road was only closed from the 9th of May for 4 weeks. Fortunately, there are easy alternative routes to use. We have not experienced the issues highlighted before with a consistent property score 4/4 for cleanliness in all our recent reviews, therefore I was surprised by your comments. All information in regards to the storage heaters, log burner and hot water is in the information pack provided. Heaters are in in each room to keep the cottage warm and there is a boost for the immersion heater located in the kitchen. May I also point out that towels and bedding are provided, any additional towels can easily be arranged by calling my number in the information book. Lastly, The cottage is also well equipped with baby equipment, toys, games, books, arts materials and DVD's therefore it is very accommodating for children Property Owner

"We immediately felt relaxed as soon as we arrived."
The surroundings were so picturesque and the cottage had everything you needed to have a great break away. We enjoyed walks from the door and playing the many games provided. Please be aware that it takes around 50 minutes to reach a main road, which was fine with us, but may not suit all. Thanks so much for providing this gem, we would happily return and didn't want to leave!
Thank you. We are glad you enjoyed a relaxing stay. Property Owner

"We really enjoyed our stay at Ben Grianan."
It’s a very peaceful place, perfect for getting away from the world. The surrounding landscape is astonishing and it’s great for stargazing. The cottage itself is spacious, comfortable and well equipped. The wood burner is very cozy and gives out plenty of heat. Everything was absolutely immaculate and clean. Outside the cottage has a secure fence, meaning if you are travelling with a dog you can rest assured they won’t escape. There is absolutely no mobile signal (on any network) or Wi-Fi, though this is one of the reasons we booked. Make sure you take change for the pay phone in the property just in case you want to make any calls. The nearest village with shops and pubs is around 1 hours drive away, be prepared for winding mountain roads when getting to the location and surrounding area. Overall it was a dreamy experience and we wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.
Thank so much you for your comments. We also enjoy the time away from our mobile phones and the internet so we can truly switch off and relax. Property Owner

"Really lovely cottage in beautiful location."

"One week in October 2021."
A great cottage in a wonderful location. So peaceful. The cottage has quite an unusual layout but that is part of its charm. Plenty of room and facilities are excellent with everything we needed. We recommend coffee and cake at the Bridge of Balgie tearoom and the scotch pies at Macdonald's the butchers in Aberfeldy.

"Great holiday, we were able to relax and unwind the location was not disappointing the views were amazing."
. the garden was perfect and very dog proof as I have a spaniel that would escape if he could so perfect for us not having to worry and perfect for him. Would definitely recommend.
Thank you so much for your feedback, I’m glad that you had a relaxing break. We have two springer spaniels so know how important a secure fence is for a stress free holiday. Property Owner

About the location
ABERFELDY
Pitlochry 14 miles; Perth 31 miles.
The market town of Aberfeldy stands on the River Tay amidst beautiful scenery in rural Perthshire. Famous for its association with Burns and his poem The Birks Of Aberfeldy, and also the bridge built for General Wade in 1733, Aberfeldy is just south of Glen Lyon, known as the longest, loneliest, and loveliest glen in Scotland. There is much to attract the visitor in addition to the spectacular scenery. There is a 10 mile riverside walk for pedestrians and cyclists, as well as numerous paths through forest and countryside. In addition, Aberfeldy is on the Rob Roy Way and Cycle Route 7. Whitewater rafting on the River Tay is an exhilarating way to enjoy the scenery. Castle Menzies is a wonderful 16th century castle, now fully restored and open to visitors. Take a distillery tour at Dewar’s World of Whisky on the edge of town. Sample the many bars, restaurants and cafes in the town and explore the galleries and craft shops, including the Scottish Chocolate Centre. The Scottish Crannog Centre offers a glimpse into Iron Age life and Loch Tay offers a multitude of watersports, while Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park are on your doorstep. An hours drive brings you to 30 Munros, just waiting to be 'bagged'!
