The local area has nice countryside walks, there’s no shop or pub in the village- not a problem for us. There was a lovely welcome pack waiting for us and the locals are lovely. Blairgowrie is ideal for any shopping needs and not far away.

From the minute we made the booking everyth The only bad point about our break was having to leave ! From the minute we made the booking everything was 1st class. The cottage itself is superb. I have had many, many breaks away and this accommodation is the best I have stayed in. The owners have thought of everything and nothing is too much trouble. The welcome pack alone was a lovely touch. If you are looking for a break in Scotland with a good location to travel around and you need somewhere that accepts dogs.... then this is the place to go. I cant recommend it highly enough....if I could award 6 stars I would, it was that good. oh the open fire was pretty great too !! :-) ##### Steven This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris 29 Sept 2019 #### Absolutely beautiful little cottage.

Excellent wifi. Very comfortable beds and bathrooms. Kitchen is a bit small for 4 persons and would benefit if one of the wooden benches would be replaced by 2 chairs or stools. Basic stock available. Lovely welcome pack. Easy parking in front of the cottage. Large garden. We felt very at home and can certainly recommend this cottage. ##### Caroline This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Claire 13 Jul 2019 #### Great cottage in lovely location.
