Guest Reviews

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 would not hesitate to recommend the cottage to anyone.

Very well equipped,warm, comfortable cottage, in a beautiful part of Scotland. Would be even more amazing in the summer when the sun is out! Locals very friendly. Real easy to get into town walking which has everything you need. Lots of opportunity to explore the area. Great that you were dog friendly. Our dog, Mac, enjoyed the holiday too. Would definitely recommend to family and friends. Derek, Sheena, Mal and Pat.

Our wildlife tour group loved the cottage with the bright rooms, parking spaces and lovely garden with summer house. Our guests loved seeing the red squirrels on the feeder from the cottage.
