This famous lightshow in the woods, listed in the Lonely Planet's compilation of unmissable experiences attracts 80,000 visitors over it's 5 week run each year. It takes place each Autumn in Pitlochry's Faskally Woods around Dunmore Loch, a former curling pond.

This is an ideal time to stay in Perthshire, with endless walks through autumn woods and misty mountains. 

Why not stay in a holiday home with a warm stove to curl up next to after a day in the Autumn air?

We really enjoyed our stay in the Bothy, thank you. It was clean & comfortable with everything we needed for our stay. I can’t think I anything which would improve it as it was perfect. Especially the views !! Thank you. Mark and Dana

The cottage was perfect well equipped and spotlessly clean. It was so peaceful but yet only a very short walk into Pitlochry or in the other direction to the enchanted forest. The owners Rita and Kenny were very friendly and extremely helpful the fresh flowers ,wine and shortbread were a welcome touch. It was just perfect for me, my husband and Dexter the dog and we would definitely return and wouldn't hesitate to recommend the cottage to anyone.

We are regular visitors to Cow Shed 2 which says it all ! We rarely leave without booking the next stay. The location, the views, the quality of the property and excellent hosts make a rare combination of that perfect break
