We had an excellent stay at Daisybank cottage! Colin was a wonderful host and always fast with a reply for any queries. Lovely welcome gifts as well. The cottage was very clean with comfy beds and everything we needed in the kitchen. Great location with just a short drive into Crieff and some lovely local walks.We will definitely be returning for a longer stay next time.

A cosy and comfortable cottage but location wasn’t ideal for me. Offsite parking is only available in what was a very muddy spot, given there had been heavy rains. I dare say in better weather this would have been less bothersome but there had been days of heavy rains. To get to the parking from the cottage involved crossing a busy road on a bend. Access to the cottage door was up a narrow lane which was strewn with traffic cones etc, which while I assume is temporary, as a solo traveller doing regular dog walks, it wasn’t ideal. In Gilmerton the only real route for a decent dog walk was accessed via the very muddy track, otherwise it involved walking along the busy country road or driving elsewhere to start a walk. It’s a pity as the cottage itself had a great outlook, was bright and the mattress was comfortable. Pack your own tea bags and kindling as neither were provided and the fireplace hadn’t been cleaned out ready for our arrival. It was fair value for what we paid but I’d have been disappointed to have paid high season prices and had to get kindling to get the fire going on the first night given the shop is two miles away. There was also only one bath towel and small towel provided per adult for a five night stay but there is a washing machine.
