The cottage is generally well-equipped, with a good kitchen, hot water, and a log fire. Some guests noted maintenance issues such as broken cooker knobs, unclear appliance instructions, and the need for upgrades, but these did not detract significantly from most stays.

Great location just outside Aberfeldy, walks from the door. The drive needs attention but that is probably Castle Menzies or farm that this belongs to. Have to be careful on steps & path to door. House is comfortable with everything you need but could do with an upgrade. Oven dials have no markings & kept falling off. Front door has gap & you can see daylight - could do with a thick curtain or even a new door. Watch your head on the ceiling light in bedroom! Just feels a little unloved/uncared for.
