Good communication from the hosts around check in process. Disappointed with the cleanliness, lots of cobwebs throughout the property (some which had large families of spiders living in them) and dishes required to be washed prior to use. We understood the property was dog friendly prior to booking and brought our own dog with us but didn't expect to find as much dog hair everywhere upon check in. The living area clearly hadn't been hoovered, we found pieces of copper metal on the floor which were a danger to our dog. The bed linen was clean and comfortable. However I would recommend future guests bring their own towels as the ones provided were very small and had seen better days. The bathroom was surface clean but again would benefit from a scrub.Feel the property overall is in need of a deeper clean between guests in order to make a stay here more enjoyable.

The rustic feel, complemented with sympathetic furnishings enhanced the warmth, comfort and overall cosiness of the cottage. We would have loved to stay for the full week, as there was a plethora of walks from the doorstep, including The Weem forest trail, The Birks of Aberfeldy and off road walk into Aberfeldy (The Watermill bookshop & cafe is excellent). There are many dramatic Munros nearby & incredible scenery, in every direction. We would absolutely recommend Larch Cottage and will definitely return. Thank you!
