“What a Find”
The Croft had it all for us. Location, walks from the doorstep, comfort, tranquility. It was very well equipped for family use and was very clean. The tea, coffee, milk, etc and fresh flowers made us feel very welcome. Beds are enormous and incredibly comfortable. We will never forget seeing our first red squirrel in 43 years hopping across the orchard! Also lucky enough to experience migrating geese in perfect formation on several occasions. And to top it all - several sunsets, something we miss living as we do in a gorge in Shropshire. Thank you Julie.

Response from the owner So pleased you enjoyed your stay. It’s great to see that all the planning in the cottages is appreciated and makes for a stress free stay. The cottage is fully insulated, with modern electric heaters with thermostats set to a comfortable temperature, maintaining a warm space regardless of external weather. Glad you enjoyed exploring this central area of Scotland and some of the treasures on offer both in the immediate area and more widespread.

“Great Base”
The Croft is an excellent cottage from which to explore Scotland. It is beautifully presented, spacious and has everything you need to make it home from home. Fresh flowers and home made biscuits on arrival were a lovely touch. We sat each morning having breakfast looking out to the view's over Loch Leven from the patio. Lots to explore in the area, cycle paths, walks and a friendly pub in walking distance which serves good food. We travelled to Edinburgh, Sterling, St. Andrews, Pitlochry, Glamis and also walked a couple of Munroes and cycled Loch Leven all in a week. And finally the sun shone all week.
