Clean, welcoming but small

This property was clean and welcoming. The kitchen was well equipped and the welcome pack was a nice addition and the front room was homely. The park opposite was very welcome for dog walks and the access to the town was within easy distance as was the ruined abbey. Even though this property does sleep 4 there is only enough room for 2. The 2nd bedroom is in a hatch with a pull down ladder which could only be used by well abled people as it’s steep and has no rail. It’s also didn’t seem to have a heater which made it quite cold. When booking this property I asked for a garden, but there is only a small terrace next to the road, so is unsuitable for a dog.

Cute cottage.

We stayed in the cottage for a night for my friends birthday. The host was lovely, friendly and approachable. The cottage was nice enough with adequate facilities. I would say a bit small for 4 adults as not enough comfy seats for four. The location was quiet and quaint. The owner was lovely and left clear instructions for access etc. The bathroom and kitchen were clean and the bedding was clearly freshly laundered. Good kitchen facilities for needs. Handy location for gleneagles. The guests found access to the upstairs bedroom a bit of a challenge and the ladders did block access to the kitchen slightly when down.
