Guests say
Riversdale Cottage is highly praised for its cleanliness, comfort, and thoughtful touches. Guests enjoyed the peaceful location, surrounded by woods and close to a loch, with plenty of birdlife. The cottage is well-equipped, and despite a minor issue with the heating and the absence of a blind on the front door, the overall experience was very positive, with many looking forward to returning.
Reviewers consistently described the cottage as spotlessly clean, indicating a high level of cleanliness that contributed positively to their stay.
The cottage's location is appreciated for its quietness and proximity to nature, with easy access to local walks and drives within an hour to various attractions.
Guests found the cottage comfortable, mentioning a good night's sleep and a relaxing garden, although one noted the lack of a blind on the front door at night.
The facilities are generally well-regarded, with a well-appointed kitchen and comprehensive provisions. A heating issue was quickly resolved, but it suggests a slight deduction for maintenance.
The welcome pack and dog treats were appreciated as thoughtful gestures, enhancing the guest experience. However, it's important to note that such gifts, while delightful, are not guaranteed.

Just returned from a very enjoyable 2 week stay at Riversdale Cottage. Despite an initial heating problem that Fiona dealt with very quickly, we had a lovely time there, although the weather was very wet throughout our stay.The cottage had everything we needed, bed was comfortable and facilities have been comprehensively provided for. A thoughtful welcome pack was also left for us to enjoy.The location is lovely and quite convenient for getting out and about but the nearest decent shopping for provisions is Crieff. We would definitely stay at Riversdale again in future (and hope for better weather next time!).

Lovely, well appointed, nicely decorated, clean cottage. Plenty of useful supplies and welcome goodies. Its on a quiet road, but still a quiet spot especially at night, we all slept well. Surrounded by woods, short walk to the loch, lots of birdlife. Plenty to do within an hour's drive.
