Fonseca Cottage was in an ideal part of Aberfeldy, short walk into the town. Aberfeldy is a great place to stay to travel around the area, lots to do and see. The cottage adjoins the owner’s house. Marie, the owner, is so lovely and helpful.

Difficulty finding the cottage. Had difficulty opening the front door .The overall look appeared to be clean , it wasn’t clearly stated that the bathroom was down stairs and off the living room .There was a bit of a privacy issue with the small window in the living room which was directly attached to the owners back porch and would have benefited having a blind.Cleanliness issues were , dirty toilet rim, dirty floors hadn’t been swept or mopped, disgusting blue cushion on the bed with multiple stains .Oven not clean, preheated the oven then when we opened the oven door the amount of smoke that came out of the oven set all the cottage’s alarms off . We could only open the front door as the kitchen window didn’t have a key so couldn’t open it .Also kitchen utensils and crockery not clean and no clothes or sponges supplied .Bathroom , toilet took about 10 minutes to re fill after flushing. shower tray flooded within seconds of turning the water on , took the shower trap cover off to see if that made a difference and that wasn’t clean . Saniflo unable to keep up with water flow . Outside space wasn’t sectioned off at all , seating area had no cushions and the owners washing on the washing line above the seating area . Not dog friendly at all.
