Quite disappointing
Posted 24 Oct. 2021 on HomeAwayAbsolutely no wardrobe space in a two bedroom property!!
Furnishings look good but come with owner's request to use caution - the two Chesterfield sofas are light cream,covered with(light cream) throws and you are asked not to scrape kitchen chairs on the floor.lt's impossible to close the blinds on 2 of 3 sides to the living room and the large kitchen window has neither curtains or blinds.. The second bedroom is two singles pushed together without a headboard with the mattress of one side being pushed over the socket connecting the bedside lamp.
Heating is supplied by a "complicated underfloor system" the controls of which you are warned against using but that "hopefully the temperature will be fine for you"!!! It wasn't on a mainly wet October week.
This owner is charging premium rates - it was disappointing to experience the shortfall.
Comment from Hotel Management

I contacted this guest numerous times during their stay to check that everything was comfortable for them and never got a response. I am therefore surprised to read these comments which are contradictory to other reviews received on this and other online platforms used.
In response, I agree that there is little wardrobe space but we do supply hooks and hangers to hang clothes. If more space is required we can provide more wardrobe options if requested.
We do hope that the heating is set at a comfortable temperature. If a guest requires a change we ask that they contact us so we can talk through the system and make the adjustments as it a bit complicated. Other observations are as per photos in the advert so should not be a surprise. Finally, in my opinion, our prices are not premium.
Like any house, the property has its querks but as observed through our other guests reviews, the house is a well equipped and comfortable house. I would encourage guests to contact me if they have any questions/queries.

Wonderful stay!
Posted 8 Aug. 2019 on HomeAwayThe Cottage was very comfortable and suited our needs very well. It’s in a nice, central location to everything we wanted to see.

Excellent rental in a quiet town
Posted 28 Jun. 2018 on HomeAwayWe loved this place! So cute! Kitchen was large and well stocked. Bed was super comfortable and had plenty of pillows available. Beautiful views as advertised. The large clawfoot tub was wonderful! I normally shower but chose the tub every time because it was so deep and relaxing. Only thing that could have made it better was the clothes dryer was not working. Would absolutely stay here again!

Fantastic place quietly tucked in the back with beautiful scenery.
Posted 20 Jun. 2018 on HomeAwayWe had a great stay in Kippen. The location is perfect to take in the beauty of Scotland and have easy access to other cities, the mountain and lake region, plus a number of distilleries! The town was tiny but beautiful, and had everything you could need. The people were kind and treated us well. We really enjoyed the quiet and beauty of Kippen, and would love to go back again! A car is pretty much a nessessity for this location.
Adrian and Jenny were wonderful hosts, and very helpful. They provided plenty of information on the house and the area, and were great with communication.
The house was charming, and had all modern conveniences. One full bathroom downstairs for the one bedroom, and an ensuite with a claw foot tub for the master. We had a great stay, and would love to come back.

Comfortable stay with friends.
Posted 30 Nov. 2017 on HomeAwayThe property was clean and tidy, with all facilities just as described. The heating was on thankfully, as it was November and freezing. The beds were very comfortable and having two double beds and two bathrooms was ideal for two couples. Please note though, if you arrive after dark the passage down to the cottage is pitch black and you will not find the key safe without a pretty good torch.

Lovely accommodation and Good Location to explore Scotland.
Posted 28 Feb. 2017 on HomeAwayMy family of four stayed at this house for a week in FEB and it was great. The house is modern and really well equipped. Situated in the quite village of Kippen with good amenities close by in the village and the town of Sterling. It's an excellent base to explore the wonderful surroundings. We had very good communication with the owner when I booked and during our stay. I would defiantly recommend this accommodation, and will be back again.
Nearby the walks and rural scenery are stunning. The pubs provide great food and atmosphere too. It's not far to visit Stirling, Glasgow or Edinburgh and trips to the hills and the highlands are also easily accessible. We love this place and hope you will too.
The cottage has under floor heating throughout. High speed WiFi and a quality entertainment system. The cottage has views from every room over the Scottish Highlands.

Good Location to explore Scotland!
Posted 30 Dec. 2016 on HomeAwayI stayed here for 2 nights with my partner and 2 young boys. The property itself is of a good size and is very well equipped. Personally we just used the property as a base as we had plans to see Scotland but would have happily spent more time at the cottage.
The reason i have not given it 5 stars is because it didn't look like the floors had been cleaned prior to our arrival and also we found the dinnerware was dirty and had food stains on from previous users, this is just a minor problem and can easily be resolved by the owner by getting a better cleaner. Apart from that a lovely property finished to a high standard.

Fully equipped modern cottage
Posted 5 Jul. 2016 on HomeAwayExcellent communication with the owners Adrian and Jenny from day of booking. The cottage itself is very modern and really well equipped. Situated in a quite village with lots of amenities at hand, it provides an excellent base to explore the wonderful surroundings.
Definitely recommended!
