Had a short break with a group of friends in this immaculately presented house with gorgeous views over Loch Leven. Superlatives all round - from the brilliantly equipped kitchen to the warm, elegant and spacious living rooms to the luxurious beds and then outside to the peaceful well maintained gardens. Really stunning - we look forward to returning!

We have just returned home from a heavenly two days at Balgedie House . We were with some very dear friends and the house and its five star amenities could not have been a more perfect place to share some great times together. The house with its views , the decor inside , the wonderfully equipped kitchen and such comfortable rooms …..It was very hard to leave ! Thank you for our special time .

What a fantastic friends get together we had at this gorgeous house! Not long returned! It is such a welcoming and comfortable space, designed beautifully to help you relax and enjoy your holiday. It has everything you could possible need, great kitchen with nothing missing. 2 very inviting living rooms and some very comfortable beds. The gardens where stunning, although not often enjoyed with our lovely Scottish weather. The host Shona and Mary the caretaker where very quick to respond to any queries. I very much hope to be back next year.

We have recently returned back to Mallorca from our two week stay in Balgedie Lodge. We really enjoyed our stay. The cottage had everything we needed and more. Very comfortable, very clean with fantastic views to the loch. We will definitely return and we recommend the lodge 100%.

This is the most fabulous find. The owner is accommodating and very easy to communicate with.
The house is stunning inside and out. We had a gathering for a very special occasion. 12 guests from Holland and the rest were family and friends from Scotland.
Altogether we had 17 staying. Lodge and house. We have not one issue.
Arrived to flowers and cake, first impressions were everything!
The quality is of high standards and there’s loads of space for everyone to find a quiet corner if needed.
Karen who was recommended by the owner, from Extraodinary Eating provided the most delicious meal on the Saturday eve. Served and cleared made for a most delightful relaxed evening. High standard and easy going.
The beds, the views, the garden and access to walks and the local area could not be better. 40 minutes from Edinburgh airport made easy negotiations for those who arrived by plane.
All in all this deserves a 10 out of 10!
Special memories for my husband who is losing his battle of life to cancer. Thank you! 🌷

We stayed at balgedie lodge over new year as a family of three and had the most wonderful time. The owners could have been more helpful, every query was answered quickly and nothing was too much hassle. The lodge was lovely - modern enough to feel like you were at a home from home while still feeling a bit rustic as an old house should. I've never seen such a well equipped kitchen in a self catering home - I even cooked our traditional steak pie from scratch! The beds were incredibly comfortable - our three year old kept sneaking away for a nap in the afternoon and slept 13 hours straight most nights - the best Christmas present my husband and I could've asked for! We can't wait to return

Balgedie House could not have suited our needs better for our ‘special occasion’ family get together, even the weather delivered (well, for half a week at least!). The grandchildren loved the garden, the zip wire and trampoline being great hits. Whilst we somehow didn’t get round to firing up the BBQ, the ‘BBQ Garden’ (as we named it!) was a beautifully tranquil spot to read a book with a cup of coffee!
As for the house, it is exceptionally well presented in every way and you provide an extraordinarily large range of equipment, gadgets and games for every need, moment and pastime. The location is fabulous and the views just stunning.
Your personal advice and tips proved extremely useful, and in particular we can’t speak too highly of your recommendation of outside caterers (Karen, at Extraordinary Eating) who provided us with a wonderful ‘special occasion’ dinner for all twelve of us.
Balgedie House is just simply the most charming place to stay for all ages!”

This is one of the best provisioned and comfortable long-stay homes-away-from-home that we have stayed in, set in lovely, private gardens, in beautiful, well-resourced surroundings! We will certainly be back and would highly recommend! 😊

Unfortunately we had to cancel our reservation at Balgedie House due to the current lockdown for coronavirus but I just want to say how helpful and understanding Shona was in this situation. She phoned me and we had a lovely chat about the current situation and the house and I received a full refund. I will definitely be booking here again when the bans are lifted. We can't wait to visit this beautiful house and stunning area.

Where to begin!! I would like to say a huge thank you to you firstly for giving us the opportunity in sharing such a spectacular time at your magical house. Mary’s hospitality was second to none and she was great at responding and keeping us in the loop. The surrounding areas of the house were beautiful. The maze garden, the mountains and the Loch all within walking distance. We were extremely lucky with the weather, arriving to sunny scotland on the first day and having two more days of sun followed by one rainy day which without would have meant we hadn’t experienced the real Scottish weather. I must also mention how incredibly well equipped the kitchen was with various plates, glasses, serving mates, cutlery etc.. to choose from. The whole experience was one we shall all never forget and look to return in the future. Thank you again!

This is relaxing and stylish accommodation - perfect for an enjoyable holiday. Gorgeous pastel colours make for a restful stay. Everything is provided for you and it is spotlessly clean. There are glorious views of Loch Leven with spectacular sunsets. It is great to find a property where the owner has worked so hard to make their property accessible for disabled guests.

From the moment we got in touch with Shona, we knew we were in great hands. She has been amazing in every way possible from the early stage planning right up to the recommendations of local places as we approached our stay. We were up with two other families - including four young toddlers - and everything was perfect.
The setting of Balgedie House is simply stunning. The home itself is incredible with all the amenities you could ever ask for (including 2 irons!). All the bedrooms are beautiful with powerful showers and impressive baths. The layout is also ideal for families with children with the kids rooms perfectly bright and colourful. There was nothing that we could have needed and everything has been very well thought out. The facilities and set up for kids is perfect; high-chairs, potties etc. were made available, a cot was set up as requested by the helpful house-keeper, Mary, and the tv and games room is a great place for the kids to chill.
Outside - we enjoyed the built-in ground-level trampoline and rope swing in the garden.
We hope to return again with friends and more children as the place is really perfect.

Balgeddie House exceeded our expectations in every possible way! The house really is stunning and the photos do not do it justice. We were a family of 14 and the house accommodated us all very comfortably. The decor is fresh and beautiful and the beds gave us the best nights sleep ever. We are lucky to have such wonderful weather and spent many hours on the front lawn playing croquet with those who chose not to finding a little corner either in the house or garden for themselves. On the Saturday, Karen came in and served us the most delicious meal in the dinning room with views out to the Loch - heaven!! There is lots to do in the area but it is tempting to stay at the house and enjoy all that Balgeddie offers. Excellent communication with Shona ensured that everything went smoothly and Mary met us on arrival and gave a full explanation of where everything was etc. Thank you Shona, Karen and Mary for helping to make it such a wonderful weekend. Would return in a heart beat! The Troup Family

We had a fantastic and very memorable weekend in Balgedie House and Lodge for my husbands 30th birthday. I had booked here as a central meeting point for various family members coming from various parts of Scotland and England. On the day of our arrival, it happened to be the worst bout of snow Balgedie House had ever seen. On arrival the housekeeper Mary and her husband went above and beyond to help us get into the house. The owner, Shona, was also in regular contact with me doing her very best to help as some of our family members were stuck in the snow.
Once everyone eventually arrived we had the most amazing weekend in the house and lodge. It was the perfect venue for what we needed and the large kitchen/dinning/lounge area held us all comfortably.
The kitchen was very well equipped enabling us to cook for a large number and the 2 dishwashers were a great addition.
We had some small children and due to the bad weather we were in the house a lot more than planned but due to there being a great supply of board games, Wii, Netflix etc the kids were well entertained.
The house itself oozes extreme luxury and we are all still obsessing over the heavenly master bedroom’s carpet and the master bathroom.
Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed Balgedie House and lodge and will most definetly be back again.

What a wonderful place to stay - immaculate and in such a beautiful rural but accessible location. Masses of space and a lovely garden, it was absolutely ideal for our family get together. Highly recommend and we hope to be returning soon.

We (8 adults and 3 children) had a wonderful 4 night stay at Balgedie House. The house is fully equipped, furnished to a high standard and very comfortable, the well maintained gardens and views over Loch Leven are amazing. Our children loved playing on the tree swing. The attention to detail of the fresh flowers in the bedrooms made the house feel homely, Shona is really attentive with her communication and Mary made us feel very much at home when we arrived. We loved it so much we are returning next year for a week.

An outstanding and fabulous location for a family 70th birthday weekend! The room layout was perfect for 8 adults and 7 grandchildren. The garden and grounds were ideal for energetic youngsters and for adults to relax! Well done and thank you, Shona and Charlie, you'll get our highest recommendation!

The accommodation at Balgedie Lodge was excellent - very spacious and comfortable with lots of attention to detail. The sun room had fantastic views over the loch and was a great room to relax in after long walks in the area; the sunsets were fantastic. Lots to do around Kinross - plenty of good walks, Loch Leven Castle is worth a visit, and the Kelpies and Falkirk Wheel are close by. We were a large family group staying at both the Lodge and the House and both properties easily accommodated all 19 of us. Both properties were immaculate. We would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend both Balgedie Lodge and Balgedie House.

We had a wonderful stay! The weather was great, almost sunny and blue skies. We did a couple of trips to explore Scotland: In Fort William we took the Jacobite Steam Train; we saw Eilean Donan Castle; and at Loch Ness we found Nessie only in the souvenir shop! The cities of Edinburgh and St Andrews were great to visit too. Every day we were happy to return to the lovely and warm designed cottage with its great view over Loch Leven. The house as well as the garden is very well maintained. We really enjoyed the time here with our three children. The contact with Shona was always good and friendly and we always got a prompt answer. We will definitely recommend this to our friends. Thanks again for the wonderful week!

We gathered our family, children and grandchildren,from Edinburgh, Glasgow, Berkhamsted and Walkerburn to celebrate my significant birthday. The house and surroundings were exactly as shown on the website, better even, and immaculately clean and freshly decorated. Mary, the housekeeper was lovely and most helpful, responding to a query promptly. The whole house is superbly appointed and equipped, you lack for nothing. The configuration of bedrooms and bathrooms suited our group precisely and having choices in public spaces was a bonus. We have already sung Balgedie's praises to friends and relatives and would certainly consider a return visit. We wish Shona the very best with this continuing project.

Wow! what a place! We enjoyed a stay in Balgedie House with another family. The house was furnished beautifully, yet felt so comfortable and homely right away. It worked brilliantly for us as we all had more than enough space, even the kids had their own playroom and bathrooms! I think a good sign of the break was that we hardly saw the gaggle of boys with us the entire weekend! It was so well equipped throughout and really practical touches like 2 dishwashers for those larger mealtimes made it all so easy. Cooking was a joy with those wonderful views. It is the type of place that you end up sitting at the kitchen table for hours on end, or by the fire in the evening putting the world to rights over a glass or two of something. We had the luxury of staying in the bedroom with the loo and a view! The bed in our room gave this mum of a newborn the best night sleep in ages - just so comfortable! Thank you! Perfect for a multi-generational holiday, or for a couple of families together. Definitely recommend.

We had a lovely week staying at Balgedie Lodge; the view from the living room, kitchen & sun room is stunning & always changing, I don't think I would ever get bored of it. The cottage was warm & cosy, nicely decorated & well equipped with everything we needed. We visited Loch Leven Larder for lunch & breakfast (can recommend booking a pod) & we walked to Balgedie Toll for dinner. Although my favourite evenings were sitting with a glass of wine in the sun room watching the sun go down. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cottage & will hopefully return one day.

We have just finished a two week stay and enjoyed every minute! The Lodge was very well equipped with everything we needed, and more, to make our holiday perfect. There were games and books for the children and adults, maps, brochures, suggestions, and even a piano and guitar. When the weather allowed, we sat out in the garden, enjoying the fabulous views of Loch Leven and the surrounding countryside. The location was superb, with easy access to the motorway for Edinburgh or Perth, or exploring Fife, Kinross, and Clackmannanshire. I have stayed in several Airbnb accommodations over the last few years and have been very happy with all of them. This was THE best of the lot! I'll be back!

Lots of lovely places to walk the dogs and in a great position for local days out with the kids. The night we arrived there was a bottle of wine and box of chocolate biscuits waiting for us which was a really nice touch. Just a lovely place to stay, can't really say much more. Would love to go back.
