Guests say
North Lodge is a well-received cottage, praised for its high-spec decor, comfortable furnishings, and prime location for walks and exploring Perthshire. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, sociable living space, and thoughtful touches like a Christmas tree during the festive season. While there are minor concerns about cleanliness and facilities, the overall experience is highly recommended by visitors.
Most guests found the cottage to be clean and well-presented, though one review mentioned issues with oven pans and a dishcloth. The beds being creased was a concern for one guest, but overall, the property seems to maintain a good standard of cleanliness.
The location is consistently praised for its tranquility, proximity to Perth, and easy access to the River Earn and local farmland. It is also conveniently located for attending nearby events, making it an ideal base for exploring the area.
Guests have highlighted the comfortable beds, spacious living areas, and the warmth of the cottage. The presence of en-suite facilities in each bedroom adds to the comfort level, ensuring a pleasant stay for all.
The cottage is well-equipped according to guests, with a special mention of the kitchen's amenities. However, some guests struggled with the digital thermostat and high-tech television, and one noted the absence of a corkscrew, suggesting room for improvement in the facilities and maintenance.
The owners' thoughtfulness is evident in the provision of extras like dishwasher tablets and the festive addition of a Christmas tree. While these gestures are appreciated, it should be noted that such personal touches may vary and are not guaranteed with every stay.

We had a fantastic time in North Lodge. The cottage is lovely- beautifully decorated and well situated for walks. We were there for Christmas and the owners had kindly put up a Christmas tree! A lovely touch. The kitchen also had everything we needed. We would definitely go back😊

We stayed here in November and had an excellent stay. We picked the property because we were attending a wedding at Rossie on the Earn (literally a 2 min drive away from the house) and made it in to a weekend break with family. Everything was clearly new, the house clean and warm. The living space is very sociable and the kitchen well equipped for dining in. Lots of extras available (right down to tin foil and dishwasher tablets) that we weren’t expecting but were appreciated. We would definitely stay again if holidaying in Perthshire.
