  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!

  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.

  We really enjoyed our stay.

  Lodge had everything we needed for a fab stay. Ample parking even with a campervan and a estate car. Kitchen had heeps of utensils and crockery. Dunning is a lovely wee place, some lovely walks around the place. Also played the golf course. Short but tricky with many bunkers and small greens. Even after a large amount of rain, the course was very playable with no water logging. Golf club house served food, was really good. Was limited hours when we were there due to staff. Great par 3 5th, over a small pond, but overall really enjoyed the course. Dunning is also close to Perth and a similar distance to Stirling. Auchterarder is 5 miles away, has a few shop to wander about. The heating in the lodge was grand, beds were comfy as were the showers. Very comfy living room, and a balcony outside to sit on. The site was very clean and tidy. And there was a nice walk around the site which included a pond. Also a great driving road to Yetts of Muckart. Would recommend the lodge and will try and return sometime.Cheers

  Cosy, well equipped Lodge.

  We recently spent four nights here, it's a lovely little lodge for a break away. There is a welcome pack of bread, milk, butter and orange juice which was lovely. Take your own tea, coffee and sugar, we hadn't realised so soon had to go back out. We found it quite difficult to find in the dark. The what3words took us somewhere down the road, the what3wordsfor the start of driveway is ///luxury.weekend.static A doormat would be ideal, when the dogs are in and out the floors are soon getting wet and grubby. Also a spray or flash mop or something would have been great to be able to quickly go over the floors, as again, with the dogs in and out we had to keep using wipes which was a pain. We didn't actually meet the owners which we thought a little odd but I guess some may appreciate it? Overall we had a really nice break, the kids loved it and loved seeing the sheep and horses just outside and we found plenty to do in the area

  The property was clean and comfortable There was a folder with details of how to use the various appliances, but not how to use the oven.

  Property was advertised as having country views from the patio and french windows, however there were no views as large beech trees came right up to the edge of the patio. This made it dark and unusable and the inside also dark. This was disappointing as this was the reason I chose Avonal Lodge in the first place. Suggest that either trees are trimmed or property details updated. There were perfume sticks in several of the rooms and the bedding had been washed with perfumed soap powder. These aggravated my husband's eczema and asthma and he had to sleep on the sofa. Not the best holiday accommodation we have ever had. We will not be returning. my husband had to sleep on the couch because of the perfumed bedding. There was no countryside view from the patio or french windows as large
