We feel fully recharged after our break. The dogs loved the enclosed garden. There are many things to do in the surrounding area and the scenery is stunning at this time of year as you drive to explore some of the nearby towns. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the cottage and would recommend it.

Modern interior, with well stocked kitchen and comfortable beds. Two bathrooms was great but ensuite shower head needs looking at - it sprayed all over the room. Easy to walk to and along the river for beaver spotting and some red squirrels out the front. No walkable shop but close to Dunkeld for fish and chips and co op or short drive to the Nisa in the next village. Also highly recommend the Dunkeld vet if needed.
