Stayed at Maxwells , accomodation was excellent, furniture and fittings are to a very high standard. My only criticism is that it would have been helpful to have had the instructions for the kitchen appliances, but we managed anyway.

Eat in the Courtyard on a couple of occassions and the food was very good and the staff very helpful.

We visited Mains of Taymouth on the back of a recommendation and reviews on TripAdvisor - I can see why people enjoyed it so much but we found our stay thoroughly disappointing. Many of the ideas are great but the execution is a bit sloppy and all the finishing touches that should have made it a great holiday left us wanting more. We stayed in the Bell Tower and far too many things ruined what could have been an enjoyable week.

The positives first:
The location is very nice - plenty of good views around the area.
The cottages are generally well equipped and offer a good degree of luxury.
The bathroom was excellent - big shower, big bath and a sauna - all well looked after.
Food at the nearby Courtyard restaurant was good.

Overall, nice cottages in a nice location... BUT...

The first night we stayed there the heating broke due to a known fault that they hadn't yet fixed and hadn't warned us about so we woke up in the morning shivering in a very cold cottage.

The log fire they have in the kitchen/living area should have been great but with no matches to be found and an all electric hob/oven we had to get some matches before we could try it out and the only tool we had for tending the fire was a shovel - great for clearing out ash, not so good for moving hot logs.

Privacy is a bit of an issue - the curtains/blinds were very thin, some of them didn't even sit against the windows and left huge gaps down the side which made it very easy to see people wandering around outside and for them to see in. Privacy was particularly bad at the top of the stairs where two uncovered skylights in the angled roof meant people in the other cottages or walking around outside could see straight in to the cottage.

The television downstairs was stuck on the wall at a 90 degree angle to the sofa so you couldn't sit and watch anything. Meanwhile, the television in the bedroom was just plain dangerous. At 6'3", I was always going to struggle getting through the very low entrance into the bedroom - something my wife who is a foot shorter could only just do without ducking - but even once I was in, a TV has been stuck on the wall right above the entrance for you to whack your head on if you stand up to soon.

None of these would necessarily have ruined the week on their own but combined together with many other small things such as none of the clocks working (they all had dead batteries) and an incomplete welcome pack (which didn't contain the promised discount vouchers for the Courtyard) I left feeling let down and disappointed. It wasn't an uncomfortable week, but for the price we paid our expectations were much higher!

We stayed in a holiday home in the French Alps a couple of years ago for a quarter of the price and while the Bell Tower had many additional luxuries for us to enjoy, the poor attention to detail let it down and it wasn't even twice as good, let alone four times as good.

Had a fantastic week staying in The Bothy, Mains of Taymouth in November. The autumn colours were magnificent.
The cottage is very comfortable for two people and is finished to a high standard. The hot tub is an added luxury which we enjoyed. Staff were very helpful and the shop and restaurant on site are good facilities although we did not make much use of them.
Lots to do in the area and a real feeling of peace.

The Gallops and Kenmore are quite simply fantastic. You're staying in first class accommodation, surrounded by beautiful scenery and there are so many things to do to keep the kids occupied. In our one week at Kenmore we hired a boat on the Lock Tay, tried an hour's sailing course, went horse riding, went white water rafting, off road landrover driving and went on an outdoor safari. Everything is so close by, and at the end of the day you can head back to the court yard cafe/bar/restruarant and have a child friendly meal and then go back to an absolutely gorgeous property.
