An idyllic cottage, very private with large garden, log burning stove, electric blankets in the master bedroom. Perfect for a week away with the family. The weather was a bit wet but it didn’t stop us exploring the area, peaceful walks up the forest track and in the woods. We ventured out to the falls of Bruar which was worth a visit, and had a drive over to Rannoch Station where we took a short walk to Loch Laidon and found a small beach it was beautiful, we watched 12 wild deer pass right in front of us on the path and couldn’t believe how close they were. Well worth a visit to the cafe at the station also the cakes were huge and delicious. The cottage is well stocked with logs, firelighters etc which was handy (left some money in honesty box) the kitchen is small and the cupboards pretty full so not a lot of space for storage but we managed with our groceries in baskets. 2 fridges which was great for storing drinks etc and a handy drying room. Underfloor heating was a nice surprise. We loved it here and Dawn and Hans couldn’t be more helpful such a lovely couple, hoping to be back again when the weather is a bit warmer to enjoy the beautiful garden.

Certainly the most ‘end of the world’ cottage I’ve ever stayed in, but Amazon will deliver within 24 hours to the doorstep, as we found when the kettle didn’t work ... ‘ding dong’ next morning there was a brand new one in the postbox.... very caring owner within an email away. Being well off the grid the WiFi is slow, the lighting gloomy, tv (SKY) hesitant, shower weak but good temperature and fantastic underfloor heating backed up by wonderful log fires in the lounge and main bedroom (!) that need to be seen to believed (free electric and wood supplies so don’t worry). All in all a brilliant week away if you want sightseeing and walking and love isolation. There are main shops in Aberfeldy and a local store within four miles (precisely)... Carie walks from the door as well as your own stretch of Rannoch Lochside twenty metres from the gated entrance where the whole Loch is available if you fancy a swim or to use your own canoe/boat. Closest thing to Algonquin Park (Canada) in the UK (without the moose, beavers and bears!).

What a beautiful hideaway tucked in the woods, but with access to lovely spots nearby. The cottage is well maintained and I loved the wood burner in the lounge. Just to sit there on an autumn afternoon watching the birds outside in the garden was wonderful! Kitchen is well appointed with quality crockery, bedrooms cosy and really comfortable & nicely furnished. Great layout, as the master bedroom is next to the bathroom/toilet, and the other 2 bedrooms are next to the shower room/toilet. Everything very clean and works! The garden is beautiful, with lots of seating spots, and shade/shelter. There is a little gate in the back fence that takes you to a (nearly invisible) path and on to a forestry road that leads down to the lake & the private beach. Less than a 5 min walk, and felt safe with a dog (rather than walking down the drive and along the single track road). Dawn was very responsive when I had a query, and I appreciated the bottle of wine on arrival! I’ll definitely be back!

Just back from a lovely short break at West Carie Cottage. The house is superb and a real home from home with everything there anyone would need. It is just a stones throw from Loch Rannoch where the scenery is stunning. The location is very quiet and perfect for a relaxing break. Plenty of walks close at hand and perfect for dog owners like us. We will be back soon.

Just got back from a two week stay in West Carie and the owners’ other holiday rental, Faunoran in Royal Deeside. West Carie is a beautiful and well furnished holiday cottage, with lovely little touches by the owners, Hans and Dawn. It’s comfortable and cosy, and there’s nothing better than coming back to this place after a long walk somewhere. It’s set in beautiful surroundings and is very peaceful. Ideal place for dogs, hiking, and just peace and quiet. Hans and Dawn are very accommodating and nothing is too much for them. They are always contactable if you need anything. Can’t wait to go back next year!

The location was great near to the Loch. The cottage was lovely and the garden was absolutely gorgeous and very pet friendly. Definitely recommend this cottage to anyone wanting a dog friendly holiday. There was only two of us, but it would accommodate a family of six. Would visit again.

Amazing garden with best tree swing ever - bbq area for summer days, right near the loch, loads of board games, everything you could ask for and more.

Beautifully appointed accommodation surrounded by stunning scenery. Lovely walks from the door. Everything you could possibly need. Peaceful, cosy. Just bliss.

Having stayed in various properties in this area, West Carie cottage is by far the most comfortable property we have taken. Previous reviews have covered the key plus factors. The cottage is very well maintained.

This cottage is set in an idyllic setting, close to the banks of Loch Rannoch and close to lots of lovely walks. The cottage itself benefits from (what I assume) is the addition of a new living area with 3 large sofas, a TV which even has Netflix and a real fire. With 2 double bedrooms and a twin , this was a great getaway to come to with my friends and their boyfriends. There is even a tree swing, tyre swing and an area to have campfires outside. We were not stuck for entertainment as there is a vast array of board games too. We took full advantage of the kitchen/diner and ate in every night. Would not hesitate to recommend to a friend. Hope I can come back! Thanks
