Leanne
The cottage was so warm and cosy. We actually switched off all of the radiators as was warm enough without heating on. Loved the walk in shower and underfloor heating downstairs. 2 lovely big comfy sofas in living room, one each. The views from all of the windows are priceless, stunning colours on the trees in autumn. Open the velux and you can hear all of the birds and at night you can hear the hoot of owls all around . We took our little dog and she loved it, so many walks on the doorstep. Walked into Aberfeldy town, walked the riverside, along to Castle Menzies to name a few. Drove to Kenmore, along Loch Tummel and the scenery is spectacular & breathtaking, especially in Autumn. There are walks for all abilities, gentle to full on hiking into the hills and forests. We brought all of our own food as the cottage is well equipped for cooking, but there are supermarkets in Aberfeldy if needed. It was just such a tonic, the cottage, the scenery, I didn't want to go home.

It was ideally placed for the activities we enjoy doing, ( cycling and mountain walking ). Some good restaurants in Aberfeldy, and Weem especially Chraggs and the Italian. Went to church in Weem on Sunday and were very warmly welcomed there. Silicon behind sink needs renewing. Grouting on downstairs floor needs cleaning / replacing.

Bed was comfy, lovely walk in shower and the underfloor heating was great. Upstairs there was all you needed. Sofas were comfy with a great view. Dog friendly with enclosed garden though it was a low wall with a fairly busy road. This didn't affect us as we kept our dog on a lead and we were out most of the time. Lots of dog friendly places close by to eat. Loved the area and hopefully be back .
