Mr June 2024

“We have stayed here many times and always have a lovely time.”

The lodge as always was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. My only small issue /feedback would have to be the towels. They were most definitely passed there best. It's just seems that everything else in the lodge is so perfect yet something as trivial and inexpensive as towels could let it down. Unfortunately this wasn't just my view, but that of all my party. Don't get wrong it didn't detract from our holiday it's more feedback as it didn't seem to me that make to me to have a beautiful lodge in a stunning location yet really crappy towels ?!! Can't wait to book again and spend another week in this idyllic location

“We absolutely loved our stay here, it is even more beautiful in person from the photos.”

The scenery is stunning, seeing wildlife right on the doorstep, the rooms were also spacious, cosy and lots of storage. The location is perfect as it's nearby a couple of villages and attractions. Our Frenchie absolutely loved this place! We will definitely would book again here in the future it's just perfect!!

- Rajdeep, March 2024
Mr March 2024

“This was our fifth stay at Burnside Lodge.”

It offers excellent value for money in a stunning location with many places of interest close by. The lodge itself is very comfortable and spotlessly clean. The wildlife on the loch and the deer in the field next door are a constant source of interest. Looking forward to our next stay in June.

- Mr, March 2024

Thank you very much for your feedback, look forward to welcoming you back in June Property Owner
Shirley December 2023

“Wow! Blown away with the lodge.”

It is even better than the photos on the website. We have stayed in many properties with Sykes over the years and this comes out at the top of our list. It is everything you could wish for. Comfortable, well equipped, spotlessly clean and in beautiful surroundings. The swans and ducks, even spotted a mandarin duck, on the lake were a delight to watch especially when the ice and snow was on the lake. Its clear why guests return time and again. We would love to stay again. Thank you, Andrew and Elizabeth, for sharing this beautiful place.

- Shirley, December 2023

“Fantastic stay at Burnside Lodge.”

Inside is one of great comfort and is very well equipped. Fact each bedroom has it's own bathroom is luxury. The surroundings are beautiful and the visiting wildlife is fabulous, the rutting stag calls are like a morning call

- Nicola, October 2022
Robert August 2022

“Fabulous property.”

Clean, well furnished and with all the facilities you need for a comfortable break. Great location, quiet and overlooking a nice small lake with plenty going on with the birds and a family of swans. A visit from an occasional deer was also nice. Good location for days out in the local area too.

Mr June 2022

“Had a great stay.”

Great lodge in a truly stunning location. Was lovely to see the swans have had their babies since our last stay. There was a bit of issue when we checked that was sorted out very quickly and efficiently between the owner and Sykes. This did not impact in our holiday and booked again for November. Just love staying here. Quiet relaxing location with everything a short drive away.

- Mr, June 2022
Denise May 2022

“We really enjoyed our stay at Burnside Lodge.”

The lodge was really comfortable and the outlook is absolutely stunning. We found everything we needed in the lodge, and being on one level made access easy for a family member with mobility issues. We would definitely like to stay there again and do some more bird watching and to see how the cygnets and Oyster Catcher chicks we saw hatch are growing. The only downside we found was that the beds were not too comfortable being a bit on the hard side. Although located slightly outside Aberfeldy, it's within easy reach of the A9 and we enjoyed some lovely days out surrounded by stunning scenery. The stay was just what we needed.

- Denise, May 2022
Glen May 2022

“A fantastic holiday, in fantastic surroundings and fantastic accommodation.”

Burnside Lodge exceeded our expectations. Was clean, well equipped with everything that you could wish for. We loved it that much that we have re booked for next year. Highly recommended. Glen & Janette.

- Glen, May 2022
Mr April 2022

“What an amazing lodge in a beautiful setting.”

The lodge itself was spotlessly clean and was a proper home from home and wanted for absolutely nothing. What made it for me was the deer farm next door. It was lovely being so close to the deer. Also the Lochan was a lovely outlook and great to see all the bird life. Overall a great holiday and will definitely be booking again.

- Mr, April 2022
Sheila April 2022

“Absolutely beautiful high quality lodge in a stunning setting.”

It had everything we needed and more for a fantastic trip. Great walks round about, and so lovely to sit and watch the birds on the loch. Highly recommend if you want a lodge with a wow factor.

- Sheila, April 2022
Jacqueline March 2022

“Outstanding holiday lodge in a fantastic location!”

Great walks all around direct from the lodge . Views of loch with the Swans etc; Owls hooting at night from lodge and wild deer roaming close by made it for us! Never have we stayed in such an immaculately clean holiday let with every conceivable kitchen item required! Now for the owners observation! The beds are really uncomfortable, despite toppers being fitted.We found that the drier on the built in washer dryer did not work so will need attention or replacement! Also side veranda gate needs attention due to screws missing hinge didn’t support it being opened . The week we were there were roadwork restrictions into Aberfeldy so had to head off into Pitlochry for shopping .Around a 40 mile round trip on the hair raising twisty hairpin bends, few passing places where we found very few keeping to a sensible speed in this situation! Would we recommend this lodge? Definitely! Would we stay again? Yes! If the beds were replaced with softer springs and memory foam top.

- Jacqueline, March 2022
Debbie March 2022

“Fabulous, we’ll equipped comfortable accommodation.”

Would definitely recommend.

- Debbie, March 2022
David February 2022

- David, February 2022
Neville February 2022

“Great place, a bit far from civilisation but that’s what we wanted.”

Enjoyed our morning coffee with swans, ducks, geese and occasionally a heard of deer. Beautiful place in a beautiful location with everything you need for a comfortable relaxing stay.

- Neville, February 2022
Dawn October 2021

“Gorgeous Lodge in a lovely setting.”

Martin September 2021

“Burnside Lodge was an amazing place to stay.”

The location was peaceful and beautiful overlooking a small lake with the hills in the background. It is conveniently located not far from Aberfeldy and good to explore the local area. The lodge was very clean throughout and had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. The temperature was just right for the time of year, we were not too hot at any time.

- Martin, September 2021
Keith July 2021

James June 2021

“My Friend and I used this cabin as our base for our annual Motorcycle holiday in Scotland and we both agree it was superb, excellent location views and comfort.”

Clean modern with every convenience required for a brilliant stay. The owners kept us informed on arrival. The town of Aberfeldy is near for food shopping fuel for our motorbikes and other shops pubs etc. We enjoyed the local walks towards the mountains as well as several motorcycle rides to Tummel Bridge and nearby Lochs etc. The Deer and bird wildlife swan etc. provided hours of entertainment and we were lucky with the weather which is always a bonus in Scotland. Our only suggestion to improve our stay would be maybe to provide a welcome pack of tea coffee shortbread? and to have more comfortable seating on the patio like our neighbors cabin. We both found wooden seats very hard after a short time which spoilt the experience of sitting outside for a drink in the evening. But this does not spoil anything overall and we would recommend this cabin to anyone wanting a 5 star holiday

- James, June 2021
Elaine May 2021

“A beautiful peaceful setting by the water with lots of active Wildlife.”

The lodge was very comfortable and spacious. The underfloor heating was a bit of a challenge, cool in the mornings, hot in the evenings, but we worked it out. The TV was a bit small for the room size, but overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend it. Thank you.

- Elaine, May 2021
Amanda October 2020

“The lodge was lovely.”

We had a fabulous time. We have stayed in many cottages and lodges and this was one of the best. The beds were very comfy with quality linens. Showers were powerful and easy to use. The underfloor heating took a bit of getting used to, but the owner was very helpful and we got it in the end. Individually controlled for each room. The views were great and when the sun comes out, great to sit on the decking and watch the Swans and ducks. We would return.

- Amanda, October 2020
Honor September 2020

“The lodge is set in a lovely location, well equipped, sharp knives are in the wooden block on the counter top, toaster worked fine, if you think it's not working,check that it's switched on .”

..its like mine at home ...if it has no power, the levers won't stay down. Our dog loved the deck, yes there is a slight dip, nothing that building it up from underneath wouldn't fix which is what should have been done before hammering the nail in....job done. Beds were super comfy, had a great sleep every night. Underfloor heating was fab. Could have done with a colander and a couple more bowls and a bigger oven dish but we managed. Little things, that would not stop me staying there again. Showers were great. The dyson hoover was ok but, couldn't hoover well before we left as the battery ran down really quick. Overall, a lovely lodge, had a fabulous chilled out stay.

Amanda November 2019

“The lodge was set in a beautiful, peaceful location with swans and ducks on the lake and deer just over the fence.”

It was well laid out with plenty dishes, towels etc. The only downside was one of the beds in the twin room had wonky springs but that did not spoil our stay. We would be more than happy to make a return visit

- Amanda, November 2019

“Certainly worth the 6 hour drive to get there.”

Will recommend this site and area to our friends and family. Beautiful, peaceful site with fantastic scenery and wildlife all around. The Lodge was like home-from-home, beautiful outlook, very comfortable and immaculately clean. We can also highly recommend the boat trip on Loch Tay.....worth every penny!

Wendy April 2019

“Had a great week in your lovely lodge.”

Very peaceful and quiet. We enjoyed the scenery and the wildlife. The lodge is very well equipped, however just a couple of minor comments, which by the way didn’t affect our stay. The hairdryer is inadequate, very weak heat and power and we feel bigger towels would be nice, they didn’t feel good quality like the rest of the lodge facilities. Many thanks

- Wendy, April 2019
Gary April 2019

Alison February 2019

“The lodges are in an isolated area but it is a lovely situation, with plenty of wildlife to watch on site, and close to a variety of walks.”

Accommodation is well-appointed, very clean, and is equipped with everythiñg anyone could need! Shops and eateries are available in Aberfeldy which is a nice wee town with walks by the Tay, and the famous Birks of Aberfeldy. Opportunities for walking, sailing, canoeing and cycling please most of my family members!

- Alison, February 2019

About the location

ABERFELDY

Pitlochry 14 miles; Perth 31 miles.

The market town of Aberfeldy stands on the River Tay amidst beautiful scenery in rural Perthshire. Famous for its association with Burns and his poem The Birks Of Aberfeldy, and also the bridge built for General Wade in 1733, Aberfeldy is just south of Glen Lyon, known as the longest, loneliest, and loveliest glen in Scotland. There is much to attract the visitor in addition to the spectacular scenery. There is a 10 mile riverside walk for pedestrians and cyclists, as well as numerous paths through forest and countryside. In addition, Aberfeldy is on the Rob Roy Way and Cycle Route 7. Whitewater rafting on the River Tay is an exhilarating way to enjoy the scenery. Castle Menzies is a wonderful 16th century castle, now fully restored and open to visitors. Take a distillery tour at Dewar’s World of Whisky on the edge of town. Sample the many bars, restaurants and cafes in the town and explore the galleries and craft shops, including the Scottish Chocolate Centre. The Scottish Crannog Centre offers a glimpse into Iron Age life and Loch Tay offers a multitude of watersports, while Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park are on your doorstep. An hours drive brings you to 30 Munros, just waiting to be 'bagged'!
