Beech Cottage

A comfortable modern property with amazing views of the loch and hills.

This was our second visit because we love it so much.

Our holiday didn’t really go to plan as our car broke down about 40 miles away so we eventually arrived at midnight. It took several days to get a car. Which wouldn’t have been possible without your neighbours, Carole and Roy (legends). It’s so difficult to get a taxi and the buses run so infrequently that without them we’d probably be sleeping in an inflatable kayak in the garden now. Firstly there is no better place to be stranded. It’s absolute heaven and the cottage has everything you need. With the best view in the world. As a family we love to be on the water and had planned to do just that. Undeterred by our plight we did try to achieve our objective but that hill (field way (so overgrown it’s hard to find the way) and road way) is not the one. Even without a load of stuff it’s a bad enough walk. Needless to say we didn’t spend the holiday quite as expected. It was like Christmas the day we got a car and we could finally head up to killin for the day which is just 12 miles away. Basically the perfect place but you really need a car. We couldn’t wish for anything else from a holiday cottage. But I can’t say it’s been the perfect trip this time with the stress and the hit on the bank. Only thing we would change about the house is the ferns at the bottom of the garden that could be cut a couple of feet to enjoy the views from the comfy chairs.

Bathroom and both bedrooms have signs of black mould .

.. we understand bathrooms are hard to sort out due to occupants but from inspection as its present on edge of buildings and looks like water marks. So suspect that it is caused by leakage from roof or condensation due to lack of insulation in roof. We both ended up sleeping in lounge area to avoid mould spores. I did offer the wife to go to alternative property but she said we are as we are out most of the day then she would put up with sleeping in lounge. We did expect similar standard as previous properties from Skyes like Hazel Cottage Malborough.

Great position to base for a holiday in the area and a lovely view over Loch Tay during our visit which was blessed with good weather.

Some attention to update a few areas e.g. bathroom and a more accurate description of how to find the property would have helped e.g. enter the gate named Boreland Farm. Still property was well laid out and suited us offering a relaxing and fulfilling stay.

Beautiful setting, good situation for touring around the local and further areas.

lovely cottage, everything anyone could want in the kitchen. Very clean and tidy but my daughter did find a small patch of mould behind the bathroom mirror! Which I did clean. (Didn’t like to see herself in a big mirror) and a bit confusing to where the main bin as it’s down the bottom of the driveway where there was a few bins. Minor issues really, we would definitely book again if coming back to Scotland.

Beautiful location, great spot for Munro baggers, garden was perfect for us with our dog.

The adjacent wedding venue was a bit of a surprise, however the bands / dj's must have had a cut off as they always stopped at the same time, once we knew that, we could plan our sleep around it. Hot tub was brilliant, especially after a day on the hills. Local shops are lovely with great products.

Beech cottage has all the facilities for a lovely holiday.

It's a 15min walk from the cabin to loch Tay across fields but you can park in the Boreland private beech area if you wish. Some ignorant people have discarded rubbish at the beech area so be mindful of glass especially with dogs. We spent a lovely day with a picnic, kayaking and sitting by the fire and took home our rubbish and more! Beautiful area to explore with lots of walks and waterfalls in the area. After having a long day exploring it was lovely to come back to a hot tub to relax.

Fantastic stay, the property was spotless and tastefully decorated and maintained.

The garden was perfect with the dog, especially given it was fully enclosed so we didn't have to watch him out there 24/7. The views are incredible. If I could only provide a tiny bit of feedback, it would be to have recycling bins at the house, if only to help manage and separate recycling before taking it to the bottom of the road at the end of our stay.

A perfect home from home.

Comfortable, spacious and beautifully decorated. Attention to detail was superb. Lovely welcome basket, well equipped kitchen, lots of supplies (tea towels, bin bags, cling film, kitchen roll, handsoap refills, logs, kindling, matches, fire lighters, board games, tea, coffee pods, salt and pepper, I could seriously go on!) Hot tub was fab, loads fluffy towels and bath robes, even plastic glasses. So much information given on the property and surrounding area. We were so impressed. These guys understand what people are looking for, the little details are so easy to do but make a huge difference. Well done, we loved it.

Stayed here in late September, the view is absolutely incredible, the hills look different every hour, if I owned this I would rent out where I live & stay here myself!

Bed was so comfortable.... We got home & my partner didn't sleep for three days because of how she perceived our bed to be so uncomfortable, shame we never made a note of the make of the mattress. The driveway up to the property is fine, you're told to go 10 mph, you don't need to rush so just go 10 mph. The property is closer than you think to two properties, next doors dog is absolutely no problem, she's a friendly little thing & will wait for you to tell her to come to you for a hello, she doesn't encroach unless encouraged. Never made it to the beach because the pathway was so overgrown, the sheep were munching through the weeds though. Hot Tub is in exactly the right spot & is a perfect way to end the day, only slight issue is the 10pm curfew for using it (if you think you'll use it after that time, they have it covered) log burner is nice & the sofa is comfy, the shower could be more powerful, but that is hardly a deal breaker. It's just a great place to stay to wind down & relax

Beech cottage was as described, beautiful, clean, comfy beds and bedding, fluffy white towels and robes.

Hot tub and the views were amazing. We enjoyed the walk down to the beach and walks into the wood. We would love to return.

A really nice property with great views over Loch Tay, access was easy and the cottage felt welcoming on entry.

Slight problem with the access path up to the property as the scree pathway is not good for your car tyres. The cottage itself was clean and had all the facilities needed with plenty of fresh towels and kitchen equipment, but maybe take an engineer with you to work out the hob and oven hehe!!! Technology is not for us, but after much trial and error we got there !! Events at the farm next door were at a minimum, but noise levels were kept down and did not cause an issue. We would certainly go back to this cottage and would recommend it to anyone looking for that area. It's only 4 miles to Kenmore and 9 miles to Aberfeldy for restaurants, supermarkets etc. so a good location whilst peaceful and quiet to sit and enjoy the scenery.

We had a really lovely stay at Beech cottage.

The owners have thought of everything to make the stay comfortable. We loved the garden and hot tub. The views are amazing. I would suggest making people aware of the function space next door as there were events on most evenings that could disrupt your stay if you wanted peace and quiet.

The cottage was great and the location was fantastic.

Bedrooms were very clean and beds very comfortable. The lack of some basic things such as tea towel, washing cloth, kitchen roll we found strange as regular users of holiday cottages they are always provided. I would also like to recommend a hand rail could be fitted at front door to assist anyone with mobility issues. Overall an excellent week and would recommend this cottage for a lovely relaxing stay.

Lovely property in fantastic surroundings.

They have thought if everything including games to play in the evening, washing machine and amazing hot tub. You also have 2 residents next to property both with dogs who are lovely There are a couple of not so great things about the place in that if you can’t walk very far without transport you are quite isolated. The walk to the private beach is quite long and going down ok but coming back is quite exhausting. Also within the grounds is a wedding venue and the guests also can stay overnight. This can be quite noisy especially as hot tub is just the other side of guest accommodation. However with windows shut there is no noise but this could be an issue if the windows needed to be open! I will say though that our stay was in the whole a positive experience even with two weddings being held and a barn dance at the venue

very well equipped and extremely well presented property

Views are stunning and the hot tub was amazing.

Absolutely fabulous location, loved our beautiful view over the Loch.

We didn't get an opportunity to meet but just wanted to say thank you for being able to stay in a fabulous location. We loved it.

Beautiful place with beautiful views .

Highly recommend this excellent cottage it was extremely comfortable and spotless and with outstanding views and peaceful surroundings highly recommended

We enjoyed our time in this wonderful cottage.

It is well equipped and was clean. The view over Loch Tay is as it is shown on the website. We had a great time and would like to come back some time.

We were VERY DISAPPOINTED.

The first thing to greet us when we entered the property was a hoover FULL of other peoples dirt. There was an unpleasant smell. There was grass and grit under rack on right hand side as you come in door. Dust on chairs in snug. Dust around both sofas, you could see the dust under living room sofa from standing in kitchen. The end cushion fell off the sofa and I was disgusted by what was under it. Chrome light switches were dirty from other peoples fingers. Windows were dirty. Dirty smear marks left from a dirty cloth on tv and wardrobes. Dust and food splatters on tiles beside internet and the socket for this was covered in dust. I had to clean the fridge and a cupboard before I put our food in it. There was no way I was going to use the microwave as it was filthy. There was quite a bit of oil spillage in one cupboard. Cutlery drawer has loads of crumbs in it. Food on door of cupboard under the sink.I Had to clean the kettle and toaster. I cleaned 2 of everything we were going to need and kept in on the work top and just used those.The cups were disgusting. I had to clean the bath and it’s just a matter of time before someone goes through it. The basin tap is very stiff we were worried it was going to break and the toilet roll holder is rusty. The bathroom and front bedroom really could be doing with a paint. We could not get normal to channels on the tv, the news and weather was for Cumbria not Perthshire. Th tv is high up on the wall and the sofa has no neck support so it is very uncomfortable to watch the tv. Also be careful when lighting the stove as the curtain is touching it

The property was in wonderful condition and there was nothing missing.

The location is perfect for a peaceful and relaxing holiday. It is clear that a great deal of thought has gone into creating a pleasant and accommodating holiday home, and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Despite arriving on the weekend of some of the worst floods in living memory, the cottage was unaffected and there was plenty to keep one occupied.

Lovely little cottage with fantastic views of Loch Tay.

Clean, comfortable and well stocked with essentials, the welcome basket was a nice touch! A great base for walking and general sightseeing or just to recharge your batteries.
