Within the chalet there are 4 bedrooms comprising two doubles and two singles; an open plan kitchen diner/sitting room with French windows into the south-west facing garden; a shower room; a bathroom; a laundry room and a porch large enough to leave wet clothes, boots etc.

The garden has a patio with garden furniture - ideal for relaxing and soaking up the glorious landscape and wildlife. The “games” field through a gate is perfect for playing outdoor games.

Wonderful accomodation in wonderful surrounding

If you are looking for a property in a peaceful surrounding in nature in the Lowlands, this is a very good place to stay. We, a family of 3 adult people, enjoyed our stay in Rumbling Bridge very much. The chalet had everything what is needed for a comfortable accomodation. The chalet, the terrace, the garden and our neighbours (great spotted woodpecker, great tit, jay, pheasants, hares, deer) were quite nice, and we spent some very relaxing holidays. Rumbling Bridge was a good starting point for visits of Edinburgh (1 hour car drive), Loch Leven (15 min car drive), Loch Lomond (1 to 1.5 car drive). We can highly recommend this accomodation.

Lovely House

This is a lovely house in a stunning location. There are red squirrels, pheasants and the occasional red deer in the garden, which pleased the kids! Lots to do within an hour of the house, so it is an ideal base for both Fife and Perthshire. The house is fully equipped and very comfortable. The owner has thought of everything. Communication was good. It is very peaceful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Lovely cottage for relaxing family holiday

The cottage is very well equipped and decorated with great taste, very spacious and comfortable. Our kids also much appreciated the table tennis. The cottage is situated in a lovely quiet countryside and offers nice walks directly from the doorstep, but is also situated perfectly for day trips to Edinburgh, Dundee, Stirling, golfing in Perthshire or rafting on the river Tay. The bird feeder in the beautiful garden attracts numerous birds, pheasants and red squirrels all day, which is a pleasant sight. Joanna is a great host, very responsive, and we greatly appreciated the cake offered as a welcome gift. Thank you very much Joanna for the great stay!

Beautiful house and grounds!

We had such a lovely stay at this house. The house was very tastefully decorated, had comfortable beds, and had nice showers. It was a great place to come back to after a day of exploring Scotland. The owner was very friendly and answered all our questions promptly; she even had a delicious cake and wine waiting for us when we arrived! The grounds of this house were amazing. Such a relaxing view for our breakfast and dinner meals. It is situation close to some sheep and cow pastures and we had a nice little walk along the road that leads to the house. We even saw some deer one morning. The kids loved all the birds that visited the bird feeders. I would definitely recommend this house!

A beautiful slower pace of life

We had a fantastic time as a family of 5 in Rumbling Bridge. The accommodation was really clean and lots of lovely attention to detail has gone into it. The kitchen had everything possible you needed, my 10 year old baked 2 cakes whilst we were there it was that well equipped. Jo was on hand to answer any questions we had. The beds are super comfy. The actual surroundings are magical we had deer, pheasants and red squirrels visit us regularly. We had no issue with the hot water as we spaced the showers and plenty for 2 adults to shower in the morning and 3 kids in the evening. We will definitely be rebooking next year.

Base for Solheim Cup at Gleneagles

We were a group of four ladies, friends for many years looking for a peaceful spot to base ourselves for visiting the golf. We found it. The house was a beautiful oasis of calm after days spent in the company of 100,000 others up at Gleneagles. Perfect to cater for ourselves & also provided a great sociable space just to relax & catch up in the evenings. Whole home was very comfortable. Two of us travelled up a couple of days early to do some walking & the Cairngorms are only 1.5 hours away. Jo was super to deal with & very accommodating when we asked to begin our stay a few days earlier than we had originally booked. She also bakes a spectacular cake which was lovely welcoming touch.

Peaceful Getaway

We had a fantastic time at this property. The chalet was spotless and had everything we needed. The garden and outside area is great. It was lovely watching the red squirrels at the bird feeder. The chalet is in a very peaceful location which was what we were after. I would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a quiet getaway. Jo was only a text away if we needed anything. Looking forward to our next trip to Rumbling Bridge.

Most relaxing holiday we've had in years.

We came up and had the best time. Roasting marshmallows by the fire outside, incredibly comfy beds and clean as a whistle. Ping pong table definitely brought out the competitive side of us and will definitely returning soon. Any questions we had Jo was amazing and helpful.

Second visit - as good as the first

A beautiful, clean, well-appointed cottage set in lovely countryside. The owner, Jo, is welcoming and approachable as well as being an excellent baker. We stayed last year and were enchanted by the place, location and watching birds in the morning and hedgehogs at dusk. The second visit was just as good as the first, with the addition of deer. We are looking forward to booking next year.
