Everything we needed. Got the impression the place had been well-used though. On aesthetics, there could be a bit more art, not just a couple of tiny pictures on the wall. Also there was such a beautiful view but it was hard to see anything from indoors - the way the living area is arranged and the tall balcony railings and trees obscured it. I've been spoilt on other Highland holidays when I've been able to spend the day watching the weather and the changing light out of the window on rainy days. Very comfortable though and beauty began right outside the door!

As a family of 3 plus our fur baby Poppy. wWe thoroughly enjoy a very quiet switch off holiday . Loads of walking taking in the beautiful surroundings. Becoming a fishing widow was interesting hee hee, the hubby loved that time practicing his skill . The cottage was clean and comfortable everything you needed a home from home, (maybe just scissors in the kitchen) . The views were breathtaking. Great local information.

Only gave a 9 because the road from Pitlochry takes about 35 minutes. Great place to stay. Dog walk from the cottage. Various lovely Forest walks from loch side. Cottage has a fridge and freezer so stock up before you get there. Friendly, helpful owners on site.
