  • "We were VERY DISAPPOINTED."

    The first thing to greet us when we entered the property was a hoover FULL of other peoples dirt. There was an unpleasant smell. There was grass and grit under rack on right hand side as you come in door. Dust on chairs in snug. Dust around both sofas, you could see the dust under living room sofa from standing in kitchen. The end cushion fell off the sofa and I was disgusted by what was under it. Chrome light switches were dirty from other peoples fingers. Windows were dirty. Dirty smear marks left from a dirty cloth on tv and wardrobes. Dust and food splatters on tiles beside internet and the socket for this was covered in dust. I had to clean the fridge and a cupboard before I put our food in it. There was no way I was going to use the microwave as it was filthy. There was quite a bit of oil spillage in one cupboard. Cutlery drawer has loads of crumbs in it. Food on door of cupboard under the sink.I Had to clean the kettle and toaster. I cleaned 2 of everything we were going to need and kept in on the work top and just used those.The cups were disgusting. I had to clean the bath and it’s just a matter of time before someone goes through it. The basin tap is very stiff we were worried it was going to break and the toilet roll holder is rusty. The bathroom and front bedroom really could be doing with a paint. We could not get normal to channels on the tv, the news and weather was for Cumbria not Perthshire. Th tv is high up on the wall and the sofa has no neck support so it is very uncomfortable to watch the tv. Also be careful when lighting the stove as the curtain is touching it

    We are really sorry to hear your stay at Beech Cottage did not meet your expectations. As demonstrated through our previous positive reviews, we expect a high standard of cleanliness. Our cleaning company has always met this standard previously so we are disappointed that this did occur on this occasion. We will ensure our high standards continue to be met going forward. We regret that you did not get in touch with us or Sykes during your week long stay. As we noted in our check in message sent prior to your arrival, we welcome guests to get in touch with us with any questions or concerns so we can quickly investigate and rectify any issues. Whilst the issues should not have occurred, had we been aware we would have ensured that any issues were immediately addressed on your arrival. We apologise that some of our facilities did not meet your expectations. As we are in a rural area, terrestrial TV is unreliable so we offer three WiFi connected smart TVs with access to all popular streaming applications and a large selection of free to use live channels via WiFi, including national and international news channels. We will endeavour to create a how-to pack for using the smart televisions for any guests who may be unfamiliar with their use. All curtains are fully fire and heat retardant and the property complies with all fire safety regulations. As a new holiday rental we appreciate all feedback and as owners will endeavour to rectify any issues within our means quickly for our future guests during their stay at Beech. Property Owner

  • "The property was in wonderful condition and there was nothing missing."

    The location is perfect for a peaceful and relaxing holiday. It is clear that a great deal of thought has gone into creating a pleasant and accommodating holiday home, and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Despite arriving on the weekend of some of the worst floods in living memory, the cottage was unaffected and there was plenty to keep one occupied.

    We’re thrilled you enjoyed your time at Beech Cottage and we’re glad that you managed to make the most of the house and the area despite the initial weather! We really appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back again in the future. Property Owner

    Clean, comfortable and well stocked with essentials, the welcome basket was a nice touch! A great base for walking and general sightseeing or just to recharge your batteries.

    We’re glad to hear you enjoyed your time at Beech Cottage, and we hope to welcome you back again soon. Property Owner

The property

Kenmore 4.1 miles.

Beech Cottage, nestled on the outskirts of Fearnan in Perthshire, enjoys outstanding views of the brilliant, blue waters of Loch Tay.

This fabulous, two-bedroom holiday home boasts off-road parking, large, lawned gardens with a fire pit, and a collection of well-presented interiors, this charming home welcomes a family of four or group of sharing friends for a refreshing, fuss-free escape to beautiful rural Scotland.

Park up beside your lovely new dwelling, and step inside to be greeted by a well-appointed, open-plan living area.

Here, you will find a fully-equipped kitchen complete with all the appliances needed to rustle up delicious, home-cooked dinners, whilst a dining table invites you and your loved ones to savour your meals together as you plan the rest of your trip.

You'll find plenty of ways to relax and unwind, whether it's kicking back in the sitting room to enjoy a film on the wall-mounted Smart TV, playing a board game in the snug, or indulging with a dip in the outdoor hot tub as you gaze out upon the loch as the starry night sky begins to appear overhead.

You can even take a nice stroll to the private loch beach which is just 1km away in favourable weather conditions.

When sleep inevitably calls, be sure to refresh with a dip in the bath before you settle down for a much-needed rest in one of the two plush bedrooms.

If you can tear yourself from your peaceful new base, head out to explore your local area.

Take a brief stroll to get up close to Loch Tay, which enjoys stunning views of the surrounding countryside, before you set off to discover the many wonders that dwell within the Tay Forest Park, with the historic landmark of Fortingall Yew Tree residing just north.

A brief car drive will bring you to neighbouring Kenmore, a small, lakeside village home to the Taymouth Courtyard Shop, which sells homely essentials, The Courtyard Brasserie & Bar where you can fill up with a tasty pub lunch, as well as the idyllic spot of Kenmore Beach and the open-air museum at The Scottish Crannog Centre.

Further afield, you can also spend a day in Aberfeldy, a former burgh containing the noteworthy landmarks of St David's Well, Castle Menzies, The Birks Of Aberfeldy, and the famous Dewar's Aberfeldy Distillery, which is a must-visit during your time in the region.

All of this and more is yours to enjoy during a stay at Beech Cottage.

About the location

KENMORE

Aberfeldy 6 miles, Pitlochry 20 miles, Dunkeld 24 miles.

The village of Kenmore sits at the eastern end of Loch Tay where the River Tay flows out of the loch and dates from the 16th century. Originally built on the north side of the river, the village was moved in mid-sixteenth century to accommodate a castle being built on the north shore. The relocation gave the village its current name reflecting its position on a large headland: Kenmore – ‘large head’ in Gaelic. It is Loch Tay that makes Kenmore such a popular tourist draw today with the many watersports, fishing, hillwalking and cycling activities on and around the loch. Why not visit the Scottish Crannog Centre and discover an ancient way of life in a reconstructed thatched house on stilts? Built on the loch and able to repel danger with the aid of a retractable gangway, these houses provide a fascinating insight into ancient civilisations. The village has shops, a couple of hotels and a restaurant and with the attractive towns of Aberfeldy, Pitlochry and Dunkeld nearby, the tourist is very well provided for. The area is famous for its truly spectacular scenery and whether you are on the water, in the hills or in the shops, Kenmore can provide a stunning backdrop to a very pleasant break.
