Beautiful location

A few friends stayed for Hogmanay and it was a perfect spot. Rustic and could do with a bit of a spruce up, but great for the price. Very cosy.

Out of the way - lovely

We stayed at Balmeanoch during mid July. It is rustic (it is an old farmhouse), very comfortable, well provisioned with utensils, crockery etc. It is situated on a hillside accessed by a rough track from the main single track road along South Lochearnhead. This adds to its attraction for a get away from it all holiday break. Main towns in the area can be reached easily for any provisions and sight seeing.

Ganz tolles einsames Ferienhaus. Für eine vierköpfige Familie hervorragend geeignet. Einzig die WLAN-Anbindung hat nicht funktioniert.

Nach 15 Minuten haben wir das Gebäude aufgrund von schmutzigen und abgenutzten und defekten Möbeln sowie massiven Mäusekot in der Küche und Schränken verlassen und die Vermittler von Sykes Cottages umgehend informiert und mit Beweisbildern versorgt. Keine Reaktionen auch nicht von FeWo-direkt.de Wir können aufgrund massiver Gesundheitsgefährdungen nur von diesem Angot abraten.

Nettes, idyllisches, ruhiges Cottage direkt am See

Es war ein schöner, ruhiger und entspannter Aufenthalt. Die Vermieter sind sehr nett und waren immer erreichbar für uns. Das Cottage war leider in einem abgewohnten Zustand und hätte sauberer sein können. Wen das allerdings nicht stört, kann hier einen tollen, ruhigen Urlaub verbringen.
