Cottage holiday rentals in Dunblane

A great getaway with loads to do close by for whatever mood you're in - great towns and cities like Calendar and Stirling less than half an hour away, equally beautiful countryside and multiple waterfalls, lochs and walks to choose from on the doorstep. Our toddler loved the on site swimming pool and the grown ups enjoyed the peaceful views from the hot tub too! Rosie was so friendly and accommodating.

Our stay lived up to high expectations. Ainslie went over and above with decorations for my boyfriend’s birthday; welcome notes; homemade cake; fizz and ice in the fridge. She was warm and welcoming, and we felt completely relaxed. So grateful for such a lovely stay in a beautiful area. We will definitely be back! Thank you Ainslie 🥰🤩🥳

An absolute stunning break, our third time here. A quiet, comfortable home and a spectacular garden space for my autistic son to be himself, and my 3 Chihuahuas felt like they were in heaven. The hot tub was well used, even my elderly mum had a go. We had some lovely visits to the surrounding areas but mostly enjoyed the rest and relaxation that we all needed. We can’t wait to come back again.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 Stars! Excellent home in a really peaceful beautiful location. It was easy to find and no issues entering the property. Stunning old house which clearly has a lot of history. The home was well presented and we found it comfortable. All the instructions were clear. The hot tub was excellent and the kids loved it. So peaceful at night. Only a 10 min drive into Alyth where there is a couple of shops, but many many lovely walks about ideal for dogs. The wifi was a bit hit and miss we struggled watching tv as it kept freezing with no signal. However given the rural location this is excepted and didn’t bother us too much. AGA cooker was great a real experience and I’m sure in the winter it’s beautiful and warm. Overall we would recommend the property, my only room for improvement would be looking into the WiFi and potentially adding a better dining table and chairs outside. It would have been lovely to dine outside on some more comfort chairs and better seating. Still 5 stars!

Murray's place was warm comfortable and a delight to stay in. It was well appointed and beautifuly clean. To be strongly recommended.

Myself and 2 friends just had a brilliant weekend at Dawn and Darren’s cottage. They were very friendly and welcoming hosts. The cottage was perfect for what we needed, the decor was lovely and we’ll definitely be back for another stay. Hopefully later this year! Thank you Dawn and Darren.

We had a wonderful stay at the cottage. Laura gave us a warm welcome on arrival and was friendly and available throughout our visit. The cottage was the perfect size for two, thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed, and set in a peaceful, tranquil location. The hot tub was a real highlight – private, relaxing, and offering beautiful views. We couldn’t have asked for a better getaway!

Had a lovely stay at this cottage . Near to Edinburgh as my son was doing the marathon but in a lovely location . Kylie was response to our messages and a lovely homemade loaf gave that extra touch for our arrival . Would definitely recommend and stay again .

Upper Carleton Farm is the perfect farmhouse cottage. This was our first time in Scotland and we cannot wait to come back. Leanne is an exceptional host. The home was sparkling clean, quiet and cozy. Excellent stay in a peaceful setting. The best Airbnb we have ever stayed at!

We very much enjoyed our stay and location. Not used to switches to start hot water and stove but figured it out. Amelia was so helpful and even came over to help us with a small issue

A wonderful weekend stay in a lovely location. Such a friendly and helpful host, made us and our children feel so welcome, and made sure we knew exactly how we could get in touch should we have needed something. The fresh eggs and homemade bread were the icing on the came.

We had a wonderful stay at Ginny’s cottage - it’s incredibly comfortable, with stunning views and easy access to lovely local walks. The spacious garden was a real highlight - perfect for our dog to explore, and we were lucky enough to see the red squirrels at the feeders! Ginny was a communicative and thoughtful host: communication was smooth and everything was just as described. We also hugely enjoyed the delicious baked goods and beautiful flowers from Ginny’s sister, Lynne. A very peaceful trip, would happily return!

Words cannot express the wonderful week we have had on Loch Katrine. Old Smiddy is ideally located for hiking the mountains, lochs and woodland and Carole has thought of all you need to make it feel like a home from home. Having our morning tea watching the Barn Swallows and House Martins catching their breakfast on the lake in the sunshine was very special. Aberfoyle has all you need for food and cute shops and fantastic Doone Hill walk from the town - Free Parking!!! A ferry trip on the Sir Walter Scott from the pier over to Trossachs Pier is a MUST and the Primrose Hill hike was stunning. The Pier Cafe is outstanding, definitely worth a treat and just a short walk away. Thank you Carole for sharing your amazing house, we will be back to enjoy the hot tub and sauna 🤞

We had an excellent stay at Owl Cottage thanks to Chris and Janet. Very accommodating hosts who have put a lot of effort into creating a beautiful cottage for us to spend a few nights away with the dogs. A first class listing.

excellent little cottage

Very peaceful location in the country but close enough to Saline and Dunfermline for anything you might need.

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at the cottage. It was a lovely place to stay with our two young children. The village has a special feel to it and with great spots for breakfast, ice cream and a choice of pubs. On top of that the sun didn't stop shining. We couldn't ask for more! The cottage itself is a beautiful, calm space to stay. Sarah is a great host with very good communication. Highly recommended for a few days away.

First class accommodation. Cottage was spacious and spotless! Host met us at the property, showed us round and passed on lots of local recommendations. We took advantage of the Romanian wine recommendation- it was lovely!! Will definitely be back!!

The Bothy is beautifully designed and makes creative use of the space which means it's ideal for a small family or 2 couples to share. Arabella has stocked the kitchen and bathrooms well making it easy to feel at home. The in-house guidebook and personal recommendations from Arabella really help you to explore the area. We enjoyed walking down to the river to spot local wildlife and visiting Crieff and Comrie as well as an enchanting trip to the Innerpeffray library. We also enjoyed using the garden and had a memorable firepit meal on our first night when the weather stayed fine. The Bothy is really well insulated so would be very cosy in the winter. May weather meant there wasn't an opportunity for us to try out the stylish wood burner. It was too hot when we arrived but it cooled down over the course of our stay by turning off the bathroom radiators and keeping the stable doors open. The beds are also very soft which is worth noting if you are used to a firm mattress.

I can't say enough about this magical cottage. The phenomenal view of the castle was the icing on the cake. Everything was wonderful here - beds were comfy, kitchen had everything we needed, living area was cozy, bathroom was clean. Location is marvelous - restaurants and bars are close and the Royal Mile, Victoria Street and Candlemakers Row are all within walking distance. I would book this place again in a heartbeat!

Beccy and Dave were wonderful hosts. The cottage was perfect and every detail was thought of. We loved staying here and would recommend it to all.

This garden apartment was so beautiful and private. Very clean and the bed was super comfortable. It was an excellent area within walking distance to the city, and to the woodland. Would recommend this stay.

Had an enjoyable week at Garden Cottage. The location was perfect for us as visitors from Australia - beautiful quiet countryside and easy access to many attractions. The cottage was comfortably furnished and we really felt at home.

We had a really great stay. We were staying in Dunblane for work and social reasons and didn’t expect to spend as much time in the cottage as we eventually did. It proved to be a really nice and comfortable place to spend time, close to everything we needed and wanted. Also we’d expected to have some trouble sleeping because of its proximity to the railway but we hardly noticed the trains at all and slept superbly. I’ve visited Dunblane at intervals for over 20 years and would certainly book this cottage again next time.
