Beautiful clean and comfy apartment in a great location. Shared garden so not ideal for dogs unless they're super friendly. Owners and staff very helpful. Kitchen was fine for us but limited cookware so I wouldn't have tried cooking a meal from scratch.

The cottage was comfortable and reasonably equipped. It's in a very nice location, a short walk to groceries, restaurants and a park. The owners are lovely people and they treated us kindly. The booking service asociated was not good to deal with and didn't perform their job well, but the owners were intent on getting things corrected with them. Ensure you can communicate with the owners directly well before arrival and you'll be fine. Overall I would definitely recommend this cottage for a nice stay in Aberfoyle.
