Hi Claire - many thanks for your lovely review, I'm so happy you enjoyed your stay and would love to welcome you back sometime. Best wishes, Katie
Wow what a fantastic property this is, in lovely country surroundings with the most amazing hostsThe cottage was immaculately clean, so warm & cosy with the underfloor heating, there was no shortage of wood for open fire, the facilities were excellent and there were very personal / thoughtful touches throughout (real flowers, bread, milk, jam, eggs, biscuits etc)There is so much to do and visit in the surrounding area and the welcome book in the cottage has many of them listedKatie couldn't have been a better host and even helped us with something that we had forgotten to bring with us as well advising us on the local area We will definitely be back to stay again soon Dave & Lynne
A lovely, well equipped cottage in beautiful surroundings near Auchterader. Host, Katie, was welcoming and very helpful. There is plenty to do in the area. We played golf, went to a polo tournament, visited the Kelpies, the Japanese garden and Gleneagles. We loved the Kirkstyle Inn in Dunning.

We had a wonderful stay here. The cottage had everything we could ever need and was so quiet and peaceful. It was also immaculately clean and well set out. Location excellent and we enjoyed the short walk to Auchterarder town most days. We will definitely return! 5*******

Hi Peter - apologies for the delay in responding to your lovely review! It was an absolute pleasure to meet you and we would love to welcome you back to our cottage in the future! Best regards, Katie
We visited Scotland to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. We loved our stay at the cottage! It’s just as charming as it appears in the online photos. It was a convenient “home base” for exploring several parts of Scotland. Katie and John were amazing hosts. They (and everyone we met in Scotland) were so warm and friendly. We’d love to get back to stay at the cottage one day!

Melody, thank you SO much for your lovely review, you and Jim were amazing guests and we are so happy you chose our cottage to celebrate your anniversary at! Safe travels home! Best regards, John and Katie
This was a perfect cottage to start off our Scottish holiday. Everything we expected and more. After a long flight and then drive the arrival package of supplies was perfect for a simple dinner before bed. Very much appreciated.

Hi Lindsay - we are delighted you enjoyed your stay in The Arns Cottage, thank you for the lovely review! The Scottish sun even came out for you :)!! Safe travels!
We came for our 2nd anniversary. Literally the cutest cottage! When I couldn't get my email with check in instructions Katie went to great lengths to ensure I understood how to get there. She treated us like family. She even left us some food items to get us started with our stay. We would 100% stay here again. Absolutely charming.

Thank you so much for your lovely review Lauryssa, we loved meeting you and we are so happy you had such a great stay!
We had a great time staying here for this trip. It was the absolutely perfect location and cottage. The only thing we were upset with, was that we decided to stay in Edinburgh for the last 2 days of our trip to Scotland, and boy that was a mistake, we should have stayed here and explored the area more!
The location is very central to a lot of the really cool things to see in Scotland. Castles, villages, mountains, and the train station are all nearby.
I will say in that area though (this is not a bad thing about the property)...make sure you get dinner reservations at the dinner places around there! haha. We didn't understand that until about the 3rd day. Once we figured out to get reservations, dinners went great!
Thank you for your hospitality, Katie, we cannot wait to get back. My two teenage daughters list Taylor Swift as their favorite part of the trip, and your place as their second favorite, haha. I think that's pretty good!

Arns cottage
The renovation of the cottage was very well done. That being said neither my wife nor I were a fan of the tub/Shower situation. The directions to get to the cottage from the highway were not not as concise as they could be. We did stop for assistance from a neighbor at one point. The dirt road was longer than expected and the cottage, although very nice, was well off of the beaten track. We had trouble with the Wifi throughout or stay but could have been weather related as it was rainy and foggy for our time there.
My spouse and I were usually going in two different directions so not a very walkable location for us. That being said, for a group looking to spend quiet time in the country in a very comfortable surrounding then this is the spot. I can easily recommend this beautiful cottage going forward, but for us it was just not the right fit.
Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt im Cottage in Auchterarder sehr genossen! Das Haus ist liebevoll eingerichtet, sehr sauber und hervorragend ausgestattet – man merkt, dass hier mit viel Sorgfalt an jedes Detail gedacht wurde. Die Lage ist ruhig, aber dennoch zentral genug, um Tagesausflüge in die Highlands, nach Stirling oder Perth zu unternehmen.Die Gastgeber waren freundlich, hilfsbereit und gut erreichbar. Besonders gefallen hat uns der gemütliche Wohnbereich mit Blick ins Grüne sowie der kleine Garten – ideal zum Entspannen nach einem ereignisreichen Tag.Wir können diese Unterkunft uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen und würden jederzeit wiederkommen. Herzlichen Dank für diese schöne Zeit!

Wunderschönes Cottage mit herzlichen Gastgebern – absolut empfehlenswert!Wir hatten eine fantastische Zeit in diesem liebevoll eingerichteten Cottage in Schottland. Die Unterkunft war sehr sauber, gemütlich und mit allem ausgestattet, was man braucht – ideal zum Entspannen nach einem Tag in der Natur.Besonders hervorheben möchten wir die unglaublich netten Vermieter. Sie waren jederzeit erreichbar, sehr hilfsbereit und hatten tolle Ideen für Ausflüge und Unternehmungen. Die Umgebung ist traumhaft schön – perfekt für Ausflüge, Wanderungen oder einfach nur, um zur Ruhe zu kommen. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen und können das Cottage uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen!
