The Lodge

We had a lovely week at the lodge, family of 6 from 3 to 63.

Plenty of room and fabulous views the Scottish countryside just beautiful, Many thanks again x

This home was even better than pictured.

Well equipped and home from home with all the added luxuries. I will definitely book again

This is a lovely lodge and very accessible for disabilities and a pet.

The living area homely. The bedrooms are clean and the beds are comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped and has everything you’ll need. The host provided Prosecco, milk, butter, teas, coffee and sugar, cooking oils and some herbs & spices. He also provided homemade scones and jam. There was ample wood for the fire too and it provided so much hear, we barely had the heating on.

The lodge is clean and very well kept.

It has top quality fixtures and fittings. The bed was super comfy and after a long journey, the welcome pack was very much appreciated. It included butter, jam, homemade scones and milk. They left essentials like tea, coffee, sugar in the larder alongside salt, pepper and essential herbs and spices. They provided a jar of treats for our dog too! The owners were very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The lodge is Ideally placed to visit the coast and the Tay forest. The lodge is close to Blairgowrie where there are a good range of shops and supermarkets. The views of the wildlife from the lodge were amazing. From cattle to pheasants, birds and geese flying onto the loch. A point to note for people taking dogs is that you need to drive out for walks. Loch drumellie is not accessible to walk around from the house. The next loch along at Carsie can be walked around but it is on a road. There are plenty of walks around the loch . Blairgowrie and close by (within a 10min drive) though. Overall, a relaxing break at a great quality, cosy lodge in beautiful surroundings.

What a fantastic property!

Loch View had everything, beautiful views, comfortable and had everything needed and more for a lovely stay. I think this maybe the best property we have ever stayed in. Loved watching the cows roaming around, together with the rabbits, pheasants and red squirrels and the sunsets in the evening were just stunning! The thoughtful welcome pack on arrival was very ‘welcome’ indeed after a long drive. Thank you so much Gary & Kate for a wonderful stay and should we visit this part of Scotland again, we will have no hesitation in staying again!

Fantastic accommodation with great amenities.

The scones and jam were very welcome. Having everything on the same level helped the oldies, as they struggle with stairs now.

The property was amazing.

The beds were comfortable and the whole place was very well equipped. Everything we needed and more. The welcome pack was very much appreciated after a long journey. From the decking and lounge, the views and sunsets were amazing. The owners were a lovely helpful couple. The only negative was that your description stated that The Lodge was next to Dumellie loch but we couldn't find it.

It was exactly as described and seen kn the pictures.

Couldn't fault it. Good location, fabulous views. Relatively close to amenities in Blairgowrie. Many local locations to visit with fantastic walks just a short drive away. Our furry friend was also happy with towel and bowl supplied. Would not hesitate to stay again. Thank you.

The welcome was great.

The supply of bread, milk, eggs, scones and jam was a nice touch. The place was fantastic - well equipped, beautiful setting, comfortable beds and very peaceful. It was ideal for us.

We all loved the lodge and all the family had a Fantastic time age for 2-62, we will be back next year

This is one of the best holiday cottages I've stayed in.

The owner Gary was so friendly and the welcome pack was so thoughtful,fresh scones were delicious,home made jam,fresh bread, butter,milk,honey and prosecco.The cottage was spotlessly clean and had everything you would need. Perfect location for visiting Perthshire and Angus,Blairgowrie was nearby for good eating places.Beautiful scenery from living room and out onto decking. Enjoyed watching the birds, rabbits and cows and their calves .I would definitely recommend The Lodge, it deserves 5 star ratings.

We have used Sykes for many holidays over the years and we thinks this is one of the best properties we have lived in .

The welcome pack was amazing x

We've had a wonderful relaxing stay at the Lodge.

Plenty of walking locally and beyond, and the almost obligatory whisky tour !! The Lodge is fully equipped, very comfortable, especially the beds. We would highly recommend a stay here. Already talking about coming back again !!!

This is the most well equipped and best situated holiday cottage I have ever stayed in and I have stayed in quite a few.

We had a fantastic holiday. the views and evening sunsets were amazing from the decking - the beds were so comfortable - the house was so spacious and kitchen so well equipped. Every thing was thought of - from Prosecco, local honey and scones for us in the welcome basket to dog treats and dog blanket for our pet. We could not recommend more highly.

The lodge was spotless, it looked brand new.

It was very comfortable, the beds were amazing. Plenty of comfy seating in the lounge, with a beautiful log fire and an awesome view! The bathrooms were perfect, very clean with a slight hint of being freshly painted, and the shower in the en suite was divine. The kitchen was well equipped with everything you need and it has the best cooker we've ever used. Our stay was perfect.

This lodge was stunning everything you needed was there , I brought stuff from home just incase as it was the Xmas week, this kitchen was better equipped than my own , could not fault anything with the lodge , we are a family of 6 the only thing that would have been better for us is tv in the kids rooms cause they got alittle bored and wanted to watch what they like , also would have preferred the garden to have fence around for the dog but it wasn’t a problem , I would definitely book again in the future , the Prosecco in the fridge was a great idea after the journey we had, and the homemade scones , honey jam eggs milk and butter was just a lovely touch , they even provide some washing powder, dishwasher tablets cleaning bits , honestly couldn’t fault it amazing and Gary was a lovely man, I would

Lovely cottage in beautiful setting.

It was very comfortable and well equipped. Welcome pack from host was great. Hosts were on hand and offered help with our shopping on a very snowy day which was really nice. Looking forward to returning and would highly recommend.

We have been coming to Scotland with our kids for the last 10 years since they were babies and The Lodge is by far the best equipped place we have ever stayed at.

It was clean, tidy and very comfortable with little things like towels being provided making life so much simpler, the treats on arrival were amazing and after a 400 mile trip to the Lodge a welcome surprise, Blairgowrie is a short drive away which gives you all the shops you will need along with some lovely restaurants, Dunkeld is 15 minutes in the opposite direction providing some lovely walks and further access to the highlands. We would not hesitate to go back to The Lodge and cannot praise it highly enough.

The Lodge is stunning so are the views, everything you need and Kate & Gary are so welcoming so many little extras like homemade scones ,jam etc .

So peaceful & relaxing

The Lodge is beautiful ,well maintained and very well equipped.

The rooms are very spacious with lovely furnishings of very high quality. Lovely bed linen and fluffy towels . Our hosts Kate and Gary were very welcoming providing a lovely welcome pack of homemade scones and jam ,butter eggs strawberries bread milk honey and a bottle of Prosseco. This is our 2nd visit and we're planning on returning in the future .It is such a peaceful place with lovely views ,highly recommend !

We had a lovely week exploring Perthshire from The Lodge.

Best cottage we have stayed in, very clean and comfortable, very well-equipped, lovely views and the welcome goodies (including fresh baked scones and local jam/strawberries) on arrival were much appreciated. Lots to do in the area and a nice quiet lane behind the Lodge which made a good evening dog walk. This wonderful accommodation helped make it a very relaxing and hassle free week - we will be back!!

The Lodge is an amazing place to stay.

We had the most amazing week staying here. The children loved all the wildlife. It is comfortable, clean and cosy. Gary the owner is fabulous and so kind and accommodating. I know we will be back!

What a fabulous Lodge, in a superb location!

The view from the veranda is breathtaking and the visiting wildlife provide the icing on the cake. Spotted Woodpeckers taking food from the feeders and feeding it to their youngsters, in full view, plus a red squirrel putting on a 30 minute show of fun and dexterity. The welcome gifts were fantastic - especially the local honey, bread and strawberries. Lodge was very comfortable, had everything we needed and was a perfect base for exploring the area. Thank you so very much.

Lovely spacious, well equipped property.

Pleasant quiet setting. Excellent hosts. Good location for all the places we like to visit. We had a great holiday there and have booked again for 2025.

This was our second stay at the lodge and it was as perfect as we’d remembered.

The owners maintain the property to a very high standard and it is well equipped, spacious and comfortable. The decking and view make it a great spot to relax and watch the world go by. We saw lots of wildlife again, including a deer and red squirrel. We cannot fault this place. We’ll be back!

The Lodge was amazing.

Beautifully clean, well laid out and equipped with everything you could could possibly need. Beds and sofas were very comfortable. Gary and Kate (our hosts) were very welcoming and left us a super welcome pack, thank you very much, it was much appreciated. We’d love to visit again in the not too distant future.

Whole hearted agreement with previous comments.

This is a lovely holiday home. No complaints . Any comment is therefore on a personal basis of what suits our needs, not the accomodtion. ie. lovely outlook as promised but did not know it was off a busy road A93 so always heard traffic, and also did not know it was on owners garden with large house being built beside it.Therefore more hemmed in than we would normally go for. Early morning dog walks an issue because of road. It would be good if Sykes said "off lead walks in area accesible by car only" Owners lovely people and we hope all goes well for them..

Absolutely fantastic property, extremely comfortable, and a great place to stay.

View's are great, located close enough to Blairgowrie. We had a lovely pieceful stay.

Fantastic lodge.

Spotlessly clean on arrival with both the log burner (plenty logs supplied to keep us going for weekend) and heating already on for us. Welcome pack was a nice touch and provided fresh scones, jam, honey, butter, eggs, milk, bread and prossecco....other lodge providers should take note! Spacious and very well equipped. Lovely views from the decking and we were blessed with red squirrels visiting the feeders each day. Thoroughly recommend this lodge.

Lovely property and the owners are very welcoming, but not intrusive.

The sad thing for us was we did not realise we would be so close to a property being built, so at times could hear the noise of the builders when sitting outside. A lovely clean property in a very nice area.

Cosy and well equipped.

Wonderful stay

A well appointed lodge with superb views.

The welcome pack was fantastic, with home made scones and Jam. The lodge is furnished to a high standard and the beds were super comfy. Kitchen was very well equipped and had every utensil you would ever need. We will definitely return again soon!

Excellent in every way from the welcome made personally by the host to all the added extra hospitality touches

The Lodge was better than we hoped, not just the comfort and general high standards, the veranda and the views, but the wonderfully generous host who was helpful and relaxed but also respected our privacy.

We are experienced users of holiday accommodation but have never experienced such generosity. Endless logs, Prosecco, plentiful supply of all the basics and some. The only observation I would make and it is not a criticism, is that the kitchen and dining area in an otherwise spacious layout would feel a little cramped if 6 people were staying.

Beautiful lodge lovely views and so peaceful.

This is by far the best lodge we have ever stayed in. Spotlessly clean and very well equipped .Garry and Kate our hosts were very welcoming and friendly. Their treats on arrival, wine jam butter honey milk eggs strawberries and not forgetting the delicious homemade scones were very much appreciated. The resident red squirrel visited several times a day.We are planning another stay and would highly recommend to others .Its amazing !!

The cottage was everything we needed and more.

It was spotlessly clean and very well equipped, the owner had thought of everything. The welcome pack was a very thoughtful touch too.

The Lodge was a great place to holiday.

It has beautiful views, was very clean and comfortable would highly recommend.

Exceeded our expectations in every way.

Location and view splendid couldn't have wished for more, many thanks Gary sadly we didn't meet Kate.

The Lodge had everthing we wanted and more.

Gary and Kate were the perfect hosts, and the treats were very much appreciated. The Sykes listing was accurate and we had no problems finding the property. we would heartily recommend the Lodge to any of our contacts here in Germany. To Gary and Kate thank you for the chats and wishing you both all the best. Malcolm and Claudia from Niedersachsen Germany.

The Lodge is real five star luxury.

The setting and surrounding area is really beautiful but with the convenience of having a small town with good facilities a few minutes away (by car). If you are looking peace and quiet in beautiful surroundings look no further

Excellent Lodge could not fault it.

Very comfortable through out...Lounge & beds included. Lovely views from the patio area with plenty of seating to catch the sun. Great welcome pack I think one of the best we have had. Lovely area to visit with plenty to see & do. Would definitely recommend a stay in this great Lodge.

Gary and Kath are lovely hosts, nothing could be done to improve the holiday let, everything was perfect from comfort to cleanliness from well equipped to location.

The Lodge has been built to a high standard. Gary was very understandable about cooking in the Lodge what with the price of eating out, we also liked his reasoning behind the heating system, not every cottage lets you control the boiler. Thank you Gary and Kath all the best x

Excellent Lodge everything was perfect.

comfortable beds and bedding,Log fire very cosy.Made very welcome homemade scones ,homemade jam and Scottish honey Thank you so much we had a wonderful time my grandson thought it was the best lodge he has ever been to.

This property really is in a category of its own and 5 stars doesn't get close!

Superb accommodation in a quiet and beautiful location. Thank you to the owners for the kind welcome goodies and for making our stay so special. Already booked again!

Could not fault the Lodge , first class , outstanding property with all the comforts of home & more .

Would highly recommend

Fantastic, well equipped accomodation in an ideal location being only a five minute drive from the local supermarkets.

Plenty of space. We went as a family of five during half-term and had a famtastic stay. The owners are helpful and nearby if you were to have any questions during your stay. The kids loved it and they are usually the harshest critics! Would highly recommend this accomodation and would love to stay again!

Just back from a fabulous Christmas break at The Lodge and hoping to go back in the summer.

The lodge is lovely and very well equipped. Our hosts, Gary and Kate, couldn't have been more helpful and the goodies, as well as the decorated Christmas tree, were a surprise and very much appreciated. We highly recommend this property. Darren and Marilyn

One of the best properties I have been in.

Clean, comfy, and cozy.

What a wonderful lodge it far exceeded our expectations, was like home from home.

We were made so welcome and the lovely scones and the log burner lit all ready for us. They had thought of everything, the kitchen was so well equipped, usually when you go to rental property its the basics not so with the lodge. The only downside was we couldn’t stayed longer . Highly recommend you stay here.

The Lodge is beautiful property, it is exceptionally well furnished to a very high standard.

We had a warm welcome from Garry the owner who explained everything very clearly. On arrival there were a number of "treats" which was a lovely touch. It was well equipped especially in the kitchen. The walk in shower was amazing. In our many years of staying in Cottages this has to be the best we have stayed in 10 out of 10 - highly recommended

We really enyoyed our stay at the Lodge, it was a lovely property an fully met our expectations.

The level access into the property was great for my father because he has problems negotiating steps. It was a great layout with the kitchen and adjacent living area in open plan. The kitchen had all the equipment we needed and more. All very comfortable and cosy. The view was splendid - we enjoyed watching the sunsets and distant hills. Bedrooms were also comfortable - me and my other half had the bedroom with the ensuite and he really appreciated the great shower. Blairgowrie is an ideal base for exploring the surrounding area - the road up to Dunkeld is very pretty. We appreciated the edible gifts left by the owner - scones, biscuits, butter, milk, honey, jam and even prosecco - very generous compared to other places we have stayed - it made the stay extra special. We usually look for a place with local shops and walks however the quality of the property and its beautiful view made up for that easily.

Stayed a week here and it was perfect!

The lodge has been equipped with everything needed for a holiday. Sat out or in the views are stunning, very peaceful. We had red squirrels visiting the garden along with numerous birds. A perfect location for a peaceful holiday but close enough to Perth, Dunkeld, Pitlochry etc for visits. We could quite easily move in and make this home! The welcome items were very much appreciated. We will definitely be returning next year. Thank you Gary and Kate for a super holiday.

I have never rated a facility this highly but this one very much deserves it, ticked all the boxes for us, and in the end we’ll worth the long travel to get there.

The host ever so helpful, lovely welcome, lovely and generous welcome pack. They couldn’t do enough to make us feel welcome. A very spacious, newly built lodge, very clean and comfy in every aspect. Waking up to lovely views which was a welcome surprise. There’s no shortage of places to visit and activities that Scotland has to offer. Absolutely recommend this facility and would definitely love to come back!

Amazing stay at The Lodge!

The accommodation is beautiful with everything you could need. We were welcomed with fresh scones, homemade jam, butter, milk, strawberries and organic prosecco. Super comfy beds with extra fluffy pillows meant we all slept like logs. The terrace is huge with fab views overlooking the hills and Loch and was perfect for watching the sun set. The perfect balance between chilling in the countryside and having easy access to shops and places to visit. Hope we can visit again in the winter and make use of the log burner.

Really comfortable and modern lodge, very well designed with good quality fixtures and fittings.

Owner very helpful and unobtrusive, welcome pack of food and flowers a lovely touch on arrival . If you have a working dog that requires off lead walks a short drive is required but amazing forest walks a 10 min drive away . Views on the balcony beautiful. A lovely relaxing week and would highly recommend .

What an absolute gem of a place!

Beautiful, spacious, high spec property. Everything you could need. Fabulous decked veranda leading onto a large open garden with the most spectacular views across the valley and amazing sunsets. We were so lucky with the weather and were able to access some great days out. Loch Clunie is great for paddle boarding and other water activities and only 5 mins from the lodge. Blairgowrie is a good base with easy to access amenities and we also had some great days out at Ballater Highland Games, Dunkeld and Braemar amongst others. We were welcomed by the owners with freshly made scones, butter, home made jam and a bottle of prosecco as well as milk, eggs, fresh bread and strawberries! Amazing to find these on arrival. Would highly recommend this holiday lodge to anyone thinking of holidaying in this part of Scotland!

The lodge is a lovely property, equipped with everything you could need.

We had a really relaxing time and enjoyed sitting out on the verandah at all times of the day. Our dog also had a great holiday. The owner Gary provided many goodies on arrival but left us to enjoy ourselves, although we knew he wasn't far away if needed. All in all a great wee bolthole to use as a base for exploring or just to chill. The Orr family

Beautiful lodge, fabulous condition with high quality furnishings and fittings.

Owners (live next door) provided a lovely array of goodies for our arrival which was very much appreciated. The lodge overlooks open fields and has a decking area with plenty of outdoor furniture. Shops are less than a five minute drive away. We found out the day before travelling that there was no Wi-Fi available. We wouldn’t have chosen to book any accommodation without Wi-Fi but managed to make do as we were out and about each day. Last thing to add is that whilst a dog is allowed to stay and a towel, water bowl and treats were kindly provided, there are (understandably) restrictions due to the pristine condition of the lodge. We watched our young Labrador like a hawk but we were nervous! Overall, beautiful accommodation with just about everything you’d need (Wi-Fi to come) and the owners are lovely.

Cannot find fault, beautiful accommodation, very well equipped.

In a fabulous spot, impossible not to relax. Hosts were very knowledgeable on the local area and recommendations were spot on - will definitely be back!
