Cottage Apartment, Dunblane

A warm welcome to Cottage Apartment.

Max 2 adults, (Licensing requirement, ST00485P - EPC:C)

What our guests love....

Within walking distance of the High St and mainline train station
One minute walk down the lane onto Laighills Parklands
Perfect for those who enjoy walking and if you have a dog, it's the perfect location.
Please read the notes below on dogs and if you have any questions, please contact us :)

In summer:
A beautiful, bright and sunny space with a view of the garden.
The back porch opens onto the terrace where you can enjoy breakfast, lunch or an evening refreshment.
The bench provides shade under the ivy or you can enjoy full sun at the bistro set.
There is access to extensive communal grounds beyond where you might see the odd neighbour doing a spot of gardening.

In winter:
A cosy rural retreat to snuggle up with a book in front of the log burner. Faster fibre ensures seamless streaming of Netflix, Amazon and catch up applications all available on Smart TV. Regular channels via Sky box.

Our 'Emma' matress is really comfortable. The power shower is a great reviver or choose to unwind in a relaxing bubble bath at the end of a day's exploring.

The kitchen is well stocked, has an oven with separate grill, dishwasher and a laundry room housing the washing machine.

The back garden porch houses the log cupboard - great for kicking off and storing muddy boots, hanging wet coats and rubbing down soggy dogs.

Under the Scottish Government's Licensing Scheme for short term lets, this property is licensed for a MAX of 2 people (and we're adults only).

DOGS (Sorry, we can't accommodate cats.)
Please note, the pet fee is payable if you plan to have any dog in the space, e.g. visiting family or friends. This is because we change everything out - duvets, cushions, throws etc after a dog has been present - in order to maintain the upmost standards of cleanliness for all our guests, particularly those with allergies.

We're huge dog lovers so want to offer guests the opportunity to bring their dog on holiday. Please note however, for reasons of hygeine, we don't allow dogs on the bed. Thank you for your understanding and co-operation :)

There are other animals on the property so please accompany your dog at all times in the garden and remember to pick up after them.

Wonderful experience all around.

The recently refurbished apartment is a comfortable size, has full amenities, was clean, and was quite stylish. Dunblane is a very nice village with shops and restaurants and some great trails and parks walking distance from the front door of apartment. Dunblane is also centrally located within central Scotland, we could walk down to take trains to Glasgow and Stirling and were 30 minutes drive from the Trossachs mountains and several other villages and castles. The host was exceptional, available, and was genuinely interested in our having a wonderful stay and time in Dunblane - not at all like absentee or corporate management. We wish other properties could be as well done as this one. It had us discussing how we could work Dunblane and the apartment back into next summer’s EU travel plans! Would highly recommend.

Great base to explore Dunblane

Great base to explore Dunblane and beyond. Excellent, warm and friendly communication from owner from initial booking to departure. Cottage apartment was spotlessly clean and well equipped for our stay. Shone had set the fire ready to use but we didn’t need as the flat was nice and cosy while we were there. Location was great for us with lovely dog walks at the end of the lane. It’s only a short walk into Dunblane where you can find small supermarkets, independent retailers and places to eat. We definitely hope to return to cottage apartment on one of our frequent trips to Dunblane.

Lovely hideaway in Dunblane

Extremely comfortable accommodation, well equipped and beautifully refurbished in a quaint corner of Dunblane. Shona is the perfect host, very welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. Convenient for the town centre, but very quiet. Lots to do and see in the surrounding area, and lovely walks both locally and in the wider area. We will definitely be back!

One bed apartment - Dunblane

Hostess met us at property, everything was really homely and well presented. Very comfortable property with shared garden, very quiet and peaceful. Well equipped and hostess couldn’t have been nicer or more helpful. Short walk to shops and restaurants. Lovely walks right on the doorstep, would not hesitate to stay here again.

Lovely Place and Great Location

This cottage apartment is an excellent place to stay in all aspects of the word! It is located within a 5-10 minute walk into Dunblane Village and the local amenities. The cottage has everything you need for your stay and the large communal garden is lovely. The host, Shona, was fantastic and always available to answer any questions (not that we needed to ask much as everything was already there). She had set a lovely warm fire for us arriving, which was a very welcoming touch. To sum up - lovely cottage and lovely place to stay and would definitely consider going back in future.

Great little well-appointed apartment

A lovely cottage apartment, tastefully modernised. It was cosy and comfortable and beautifully presented. No steps into and around main part of property but steps to laundry room and to the rear garden. Our host, Shona was really helpful, friendly and easy to communicate with. She provided helpful advice and welcome extras, like milk and shortbread, plus wine and flowers! The cottage is situated in an old part of Dunblane - don't expect to park very near, apart from unloading/loading. A lovely10-15 minutes walk will take you to the town (fairly steep in places!) or out into parkland and various walks. We had a wonderful time and hope to return.

Fantastic dog friendly cottage

Shona was wonderful. She sent me directions and also met us at the cottage. I was a little anxious about renting anywhere during this Covid time, but Shona talked us through the things she had put in place and everything was great. This is a great situation for dogs, the wee lane the cottage is in leads into acres and acres of dog friendly parkland. There is also a shared garden out the back door which looks lovely, unfortunately we picked two very rainy days and didn’t get to sit outside. We will definitely go back as Dunblane has some great walks to explore. Who needs to go abroad when Scotland is so beautiful. Thanks again Shona

Lovely stay at cottage apartment. Shona was perfect and contacted us before arrival and met us to explain the layout and controls for things. Everything you need is there and spotlessly clean The location is a few mins from the centre of Dunblane up a hill past the cathedral but it’s lovely and quiet with the path leading to the park and river is just just feet away allowing for great dog walks. Places in the village are dog friendly and they are esp welcome at the Tapit Hen just down the road. Thanks again Shona

Great stay in a wonderful place.

Very well maintained cottage in a beautiful area. It has all the necessary things for a short, as well as a long stay along with or without your pet. Great places near by to walk your pet and close to a lot of points of interest. It was a great holiday and I highly recommend this place. Thank you Shona for your hospitality from all of us. We will surely see each other again.

Cosy and very quiet

Very satisfied. This place is ideal for a couple wanting to explore the surrounding area. Dunblane town centre and all shops are within walking distance as is the station. The cottage is very quiet. There is a lovely „villagey“ feel about the place. Kitchen/dining area is equipped to a high standard meaning it is no problem to prepare meals. The only thing that should be mentioned is that parking is a bit of a lottery. After booking we received a „manual“ including inter alia information about where not to park. The road is very narrow, and parking is „available“ as stated in the listing but limited. We often had to park some distance from the cottage. Not ideal on arrival/leaving days. Apart from that minor quibble we were very happy with our stay. Shona is a great host- very proactive, and a good communicator- replies promptly to messages.
