Lovely house with beautiful large garden. Plenty of room to find a space on your own as well as being together. Well equipped for our party of four. Central Scotland location was excellent for Crieff, Stirling, Dunblane, Falkirk and Loch Lomond. Nice to arrive back to cosy house.A couple of wee things. Upstairs shower ceiling needs a bit of mould attention, I’m sure it’s on the list at season end. By comparison, the huge bath is a real treat to be enjoyed.A little welcome pack would be nice, but we found what we needed.Overall, a lovely house that accommodated our week’s holiday and we would be happy to visit again in the future.

We LOVE Rowanlea. It’s in a small village with few amenities, so you need a car to get to nearby Crieff. The house itself is ideal with a gorgeous garden room and cosy TV room - perfect to suit all the family’s needs. The garden room windows perfectly frame the most beautiful Scottish Hawthorn tree which never fails to mesmerise. And the garden itself is perfect for us and the dog. Very well equipped and suits us down to the ground.

Lovely cottage, and fabulous garden. Only a couple of niggles...We were disapointed to find there was no welcome pack after such a long journey... not stayed anywhere for years that doesnt provide something! And also it said in the info that there was a barbeque. There wasnt. That was a real shame. Also it could do wirh a bit more attention from rhe housekeeper. There were lots of curly black hairs on the floor in the upstairs barhroom which showed it had not been hoovered. Despite those things i would stay there again.
