  • "Lovely stay at the lodge."

    Would very happily return! Mattresses were perhaps a little soft but that might be personal taste.

  • "The lodge was a gorgeous getaway, and has the most amazing views over the hills of Aberfeldy, and is next door to the Dewars Distillery."

    The lodge was clean and everything is quite new. Great showers. The kitchen is well equipped and there's a Travel cot and high chair provided along with toys and games. Its a relatively short walk away from Glen Lyon's Coffee Roasters and Aberfeldy itself. There were a few minor points to highlight and address for future guests. Consider providing more amenities for longer stays. For four nights and three bedrooms and 5 adults, a single spare toilet roll and 3 dishwasher tablets was too little. The master bedroom door doesn't latch properly, and opens whenever the ensuite door is opened, needs adjustment. The mattress in the main bedroom isn't particularly comfortable, this was mentioned in earlier reviews. One of the electric powered window shades in the main room doesn't quite fully open, but they work. Previous comments about the sinks being quite high in the bathroom were not an issue for any of us, but might be an issue for someone short or with a disability. Again, all quite minor issues but hopefully this feedback is seen as constructive. Overall, we all enjoyed a lovely stay in a peaceful, (clean and warm) scenic Lodge.

  • "Fantastic Property!"

    We had a wonderful 2-night stay for a birthday getaway weekend. The property was exactly as described—clean, well-maintained, and equipped with every appliance you could need. The owner was incredibly responsive, answering a guest's question within a minute. The little touches, like board games in the cupboards, really added to the experience. A few minor complaints / things to keep in mind: The main master bedroom mattress was far too soft—you could feel the springs and almost hit the bedframe. I noticed a similar comment in another review. Despite this, it’s not enough to downgrade the property from 5 stars to 4 (the other three mattresses were perfectly fine). Also, the road leading up to the lodge is quite bumpy until you reach the well-stoned area near the property. I can understand that this is probably out with the owners hands. Due to the location, the WIFI/5G/4G is not the best, We knew this would be the case anyway so wasn't too much of an issue. If coming to the property with younger children it would be something to consider. Unfortunately, we couldn't find a pen to sign the guest book on our last morning, but we would definitely recommend this place to others!

    Thank you so much for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed your birthday celebrations. We are sorry you didn’t have a comfortable sleep in the master bedroom. The lodge was furnished in September 2023 with new John Lewis mattresses (medium firmness). All beds are the same. We will reassess this at our next visit and consider replacing. Property Owner

  • "GOOD POINTS 1."

    Very clean, high spec property 2. Good location for walks, amenities, activities etc 3. Fantastic showers CONSTRUCTIVE FEEDBACK 1. Mattresses are too soft and thin, not supportive at all, and affected our sleep. Please change - I would not return unless that was done 2. On of the duvets had blood stains on it (under the duvet cover hence not visible) 3. Wi-Fi poor (despite several attempts to reset) - kept buffering 4. Sinks were a bit high 5. Empty salt cellar

    Thank you for your constructive feedback. We hope you still enjoyed your holiday in our lodge. The mattresses are new since September 2023, they are John Lewis - medium firmness mattresses. We have received other positive feedback about comfort so we believe it is down to personal preference. Sadly the WiFi is intermittently poor due to location in the Scottish highlands with lack of cable supply. We agree blood on the duvet is not acceptable, we were not aware of it and this duvet has now been replaced. There is a small step stool for children to reach the sinks. The lodge is self catering, we endeavour to keep the salt and pepper topped up but recommend you bring your own. Property Owner

  • "The lodge was great."

    Very clean, bright and well situated. It was well stocked for a holiday home with utensils and plenty cushions etc. that the owners had obviously thought through. WiFi couldn’t stream a film or iPlayer but the scenery was lovely to sit in and we just got on with other things.

    Thank you very much for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed your stay. We apologise about the internet. Unfortunately as the lodge is situated in a valley with no cable the WiFi runs on satellite and can be slow. Property Owner

  • "For a young family of 4 Coorie In had everything we needed."

    It’s clean, well considered and comfortable. The balcony was childproofed, there were some great toys and children’s bowls and cutlery which were really appreciated. The sunlight floods in the living room in the evening and was a great place to relax after a day exploring. We were lucky enough to see two red squirrels whilst sitting there too! Coorie In was perfect for our family. Thanks again

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, the bridge built for General Wade in 1733 and, more recently, The Hills of Aberfeldy by Ed Sheeran, the town 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. For example, a 10 mile riverside walk for pedestrians and cyclists, as well as numerous paths through forest and countryside. Furthermore, 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 and zip wiring, quad biking and bungee jumping are available in nearby Killiekrankie. 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. Visit The Highland Chocolatier in the nearby village of Grandtully to enjoy world class chocolate created by a local master. 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. Within an easy hours drive there are over 30 Munros, just waiting to be 'bagged'!
