What our customers say about their holidays

  The cottage itself is really nice: 1) Location is fantastic.

  Very central to the village. Walking distance to the river, some local walks, butchers, bakery and salmon shop. 2) Cleanliness - the cottage was extremely clean which was nice to see on arrival. 3) Lovely warm cottage - there's a nice electric fire to warm the living room. 4) Internet - good speed to stream TV and use your phone 5) Beds - really comfy 6) Nice welcoming gifts - wine and treats on arrival. Just 2 negatives, the first of which would unfortunately put us off coming back to this lovely apartment. 1) Noisy and rude neighbours live upstairs. This was the only real negative of our holiday, but spoiled parts of our trip. The people that live upstairs (not holiday let) are noisy and were also rude towards us. On multiple occasions throughout our holiday, there was extremely loud music playing (causing the ceiling to vibrate) - we escaped the noise by watching our laptop in the second bedroom, but this isn't what you want to do on your holiday! The first time this happened was on our first morning (Saturday), which started playing at around 8.30am! It's worth being aware that their floorboards are creaky so you can head their children / dog running around upstairs. You can also hear their TV when it's on. If you want a quiet, peaceful location, I'd seriously consider this one is for you, as it would be difficult to have a long lie in with the noise made upstairs. The man that lives upstairs was rude towards us on a few occasions, making snide remarks towards us under his breathe and sniggering at us when we saw him outside, not like the rest of the really friendly people in the rest of Dunkeld. 2) Parking - limited free parking on the road (it's a narrow street and hard to turn your car around on unless it's small).

  The apartment showed no signs of deep cleaning for COVID 19.

  It was very dusty, the shower screen was dirty and the bin and toilet roll holder were very dirty which was a shame as it was a very nice bathroom with new fittings . The kitchen was very nice however the oven showed signs of smearing the toaster did not work and had very dubious wiring, the bin under the sink was very dirty and so big the door could not close. The crockery was a mush match of unmatching designs.The twin room was not made up and duvets and pillows were just thrown onto the bed, good job we did not need to use that room. The sitting room was very dusty with cobwebs on light fittings there were still crumbs on the table. Good quality carpet and curtains. Tv was very small not much bigger than a laptop. Very nice log burner. Whole apartment was cluttered with unnecessary tacky memorabilia and ornaments. The main bedroom was very dated and again very dusty , bed was clean and comfortable. Rug at side of bed was very worn . Drawers were lined with old newspapers and grease proof paper which showed signs of having been there a long time. The lamps in both bedrooms and sitting room were supplied by way of many square adapters. There was a note in the kitchen asking us to put the blue bin out on Tuesday but it didn’t say where to put it. The blue bin was in fact already overflowing so we couldn’t use it. We were so uncomfortable with the cleanliness of the apartment that we left after 2 days

  On arrival at 2.

  57pm, the cleaner was still making up the beds and asked us to go away and come back in 30 mins. I wasn't impressed with this. I had my 80-year-old mother with me, and it was cold and raining. We used the bathroom, and it was evident that it still had to be cleaned too. She apologised and said she'd only just arrived and was running late. We came back 30 mins later, and she was gone - not sure how she managed a proper clean in that time.... I stayed here last year and had a great time. This year, we had people above us, which was awful. Every step generates a loud sqweak, and we could hear the conversation above us. Definitely spoilt our stay. Inside property is looking tired. Huge piece of paint has come off bathroom window, grout on floor tiles is dirty and stained, rust marks over radiator- all make it a bit tired. Inside door of the fridge is broken, and further use in this state will make the shelf unusable. On entering the twin room, the bedside lamp on left side as you look in to the room isn't working. Kitchen and livingroom clocks not working - need batteries replaced. The rug in the livingroom in front of the fire is grubby. All wall hangings and light fittings need dusted. The srench coming from the hoover is awful. On arrival I needed to hoover the whole property as there was debris on the floors and i used floor wipes to clean mud marks up. Shouldn't have to do this on arrival.

  The good bits.

  Very nice welcoming goody basket. This is a delightful well furnished and laid out flat. It is thoughtfully kitted out, spotlessly clean and comfortable. There is lots of useful information on what to do and where to go, and also on the equipment in the flat. The flat is a hop skip and a jump away from shops, river, playpark, and Cathedral. Cathedral Street must have the highest concentration of Historical or Architectural Award plaques in the country. Dunkeld is a lovely historical village, bustling by day and tranquil by evening, and full of friendly people. Great chippy. It is a excellent centre for exploration in all directions. Don't be put off by on-street parking. It can be busy during the day but you are spoiled for choice from early evening on. The “bad” bits. The frying pan is twisted and you have to keep chasing your eggs uphill. The mirrors are too high for vertically challenged people. The door handles squeak and need oiled. The upside to this is that you get warning of a small child on an early morning tickle mission. We (Granny, Grampa, Mummy and 4 year old) will be happy gto go back again.

  We stay in Dunkeld 2-3 times annually.

  First stay at 8 Cathedral. We contacted your office wideway thru the stay to outline a few of the issues namely: There’s no freezer or dishwasher No cleaning products so had to go out and buy as unfortunately it’s not the cleanest of places We had a 10 day stay so needed to vacuum. The vile odour emitted from the vac was as my husband said ‘smells like vomit has been vacuumed up’ utterly disgusting. The garden was unkempt with cigarette butts scattered and overflowing waste bins On the Saturday of our stay the overhead neighbours teenage daughter held a party! noise from same was so loud we couldn’t hear our tv, after we spoke with them they agreed to turn down this lasted half an hour but resumed til midnight. You may want to note that this young woman informed us that she was moving into this apartment full time, god help anyone planning on a peaceful break. Overall without doubt our worst stay in Dunkeld
