Guests say
Waterloo Farm House is a well-appointed cottage in Perth, praised for its high standard of equipment and comfort. Guests have enjoyed the generous welcome packs and the attentive hosts. The property is ideal for local walks and exploring Perthshire, with a secure garden for pets and a cosy atmosphere. Some guests noted the kitchen size as snug for larger groups, but overall, the cottage offers a delightful stay.
Guests consistently describe the cottage as spotlessly clean, indicating meticulous maintenance and attention to detail in its upkeep.
While guests mention the property's great location and its proximity to local attractions, there is not enough specific information to accurately score the location.
The cottage is frequently commended for its comfort, with ensuite bedrooms and a sound system throughout the house. However, some guests felt the living area and kitchen might be tight for larger groups.
The property is well-equipped with a kitchen, TVs in bedrooms, and a welcome pack. The mention of a narrow kitchen suggests a slight deduction for facilities and maintenance.
The hosts' thoughtfulness is highlighted by the welcome packs for both humans and pets, though it should be noted that such gifts, while appreciated, are not guaranteed for every stay.

Waterloo Farm House is a traditional, stone-built, C-listed, detached cottage with a generous-sized garden, providing a wonderful place for couples, friends and families to relax and enjoy this excellent property with the added benefit of all bedrooms having ensuite bathrooms. Set in the quiet hamlet of Waterloo, it is believed that the original properties in the area were built for the soldiers returning from the Napoleonic Wars or for the widows of soldiers who did not return from the famous battle. It is thought that Waterloo Farm House was built around 1815 and in recent times was a berry farm but is no longer a working farm.
This beautiful cottage has been completely rebuilt internally to provide a modern layout and was just completed in the summer of 2019, yet still maintains its original charm and character. The welcoming and bright living/dining room has large, comfortable sofas, attractive lighting and a wood burner ensuring this space is a cosy hub for guests to gather. Leading off from the living/dining room is the kitchen, equipped with quality appliances, and a breakfast area. There are stereo ceiling speakers in all rooms providing a shared sound system throughout the house or independent music from your Bluetooth-enabled device in your room if you prefer. The back door leads to a small patio where guests can enjoy breakfast or a morning coffee. There is a large enclosed lawned garden at the front of the property with a patio and garden furniture, ideal for an impromptu barbecue.
Waterloo Farm House is in a great location for exploring this picturesque area which you can do on foot or by bike and there are lots of footpaths and quiet lanes directly from the doorstep. The village of Bankfoot is just 1 mile away, with a pavement from the cottage and is very handy for a local store or one of the two local small hotels with bars. The attractive town of Dunkeld is only 5 miles away and makes a great day out with its historic cathedral and buildings, and a good selection of quality restaurants, coffee shops, delis, interesting independent shops, galleries and walks along the River Tay. Birnam is close by and is one of the best-preserved historic towns in Scotland. Shop 1½ miles, pub and restaurant 1 mile.

Excellent cottage, very well appointed and equipped to a very high standard. Had the most fantastic experience and time with access to many local walks and beautiful places. The reception from the owners and the welcome basket was a lovely treat, just fantastic. We definitely intend to return. A lovely find. Thanks for making our holiday.

Fabulous accommodation in a great location. Very generous welcome pack and the owner couldn't be more helpful. Have already booked for 2026 (our 6th stay I believe) and we can't wait.
