Description
Come and enjoy the lovely Spring /Summer season and sample the stunning scenery and beautiful scent of Spring. Or if your looking for later, experience the beautiful Autumn colours or a Christmas and/or Hogmany reunion.
Burnside cottage, Camserney, near Aberfeldy - a traditional granite built cottage converted to provide extensive comfortable self-catering accommodation. Well equipped kitchen (full size cooker, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washing machine). Alternatively you have the choice of the local eateries in Aberfeldy 3 miles away or Weem Hotel or Ailean Chraggan en route.
Ground floor double bedroom/family bathroom with shower and there is a second toilet and basin on the first floor along with another two twin bedded rooms- all commanding stunning views.
Burnside cottage adjoins the owners home with shared gravel courtyard and ample parking. A private no through road leads to the properties which are set back in their own 5 acres of land.
We recently registered as a smallholding and now have 7 Soay ewes and 2 Soay tups grazing the pasture at the rear of the properties. They are a rare Hebredian breed, small and goatish in appearance who shed their fleeces and give birth naturally. They love to be fed treats - swedes, carrots and cabbage are favourites.

Glenshee , ski and snowboard centre 39 miles away offers the UK's most extensive skiing and snowboarding facilities.

“Comfy and clean”
Clean, comfy cottage - the weather had turned when we arrived so a little cold but soon warmed up and wood burning stove was brilliant. Spacious, comfy and clean and looked well equipped - we were only there for a couple of days so didn’t actually cook! Owner was lovely. Car essential but only a few minutes from Highland Safari who do an excellent breakfast! Maybe a little dated but fairly priced. Handy to have garden area for dogs to run in though there are free range chickens about so we kept ours on a lead.

Response from the owner We were happy to help with the dilemma, remembering a similar issue when we arrived at our pre-booked accommodation for our honeymoon (many years ago!)– only to be turned away! We are really glad Nikki and Andy enjoyed their stay and hope they will be able to get away again for a well deserved break – short notice bookings our speciality!

Response from the owner The Kemsley family stayed at Burnside Cottage in 2017 and returned in 2018. This review has come about because I notified them that I was unhappy about the condition in which they left the property, in particular one of the toilets and the contents of the bathroom bin- an unwrapped, soiled sanitary towel. They did not raise any issues with me last year nor this.....until now. Mr Kemsley is clearly in denial and hitting back in a most public way. I too would have been mortified to learn that the toilet had been left in such a disgusting state (I asked whether one of their children had been unwell) and to find a soiled sanitary towel in the bathroom bin – I certainly would not have wanted this to be aired publicly, but he has left me no choice but to defend the good name of my holiday cottage. Our own comments book and reviews on other sites supports the quality of our holiday cottage offer. The kitchen is very well equipped and anything our guests have suggested as additions we have provided – egg cups, kitchen scissors, more saucepans, new frying pan etc. They apparently needed a larger casserole dish for their family of four and did not feel the knives provided were sharp enough. The electric shower works perfectly – I tested it after this recent comment – just need to follow the instructions given and it provides instant constant hot water to the temperature you select. The hot water is heated over night and then there is a boost facility – all explained in the Welcome Pack, but if they had an issue they had only to ask at the time. There is background electrical heating and a wood burning stove – they had an issue with buying wood after the starter supply ran out. I had explained that they could buy from us or go to the nearby town. When my husband delivered a bag to their door, Mr Kemsley seemed a little flustered and said he would have to find the cash, so my husband said to leave it for now (so as not to put him under pressure). The Welcome Pack clearly states the cost for additional supplies of logs. As for the cottage being cold on arrival and taking two days to warm up – I asked them for an ETA so that I could light the wood burner for them prior to their arrival – not using the logs from the starter basket I might add. Hi Janette We think it will be about 4pm hopefully. Thanks for thinking of us. Sue Sent from my iPhone On 31 Mar 2018, at 12:06, "jegwrote: Hi, If you could give me an idea of an ETA we can light the wood burner and warm the cottage for your arrival. Thanks Janette The heat in the property hit me when I went to inspect the property after their departure, without the wood burner being lit. I did suggest that they find somewhere else for future visits. They do not meet the code of conduct expected by holiday home hosts and hence I would not recommend them nor welcome them back. They are to be avoided.
