For a real cottage holiday, look no further than this delightful, quirky terraced cottage, next to the owner’s home and set down a quiet lane in the hamlet of Kirkmichael. Original features such as the traditional open fire in the living room have been preserved to enhance the cosy atmosphere. It still heats the water when the fire is on, but an alternative system is in place for warm sunny days, when instead of curling with a good book by the fire, you can sit outside either on the balcony or in the spacious garden just across the path, and soak up the sun.
The Cateran Trail runs right past the house; a circular walk of forest, farmland and hills of 64 miles, encompassing Blairowrie, Kirkmichael, Glenshee, Glenisla and Alyth. Walk as much or as little as you like in stunning scenery. Pitlochry and Blairgowrie are less than 13 miles from the village, and both have plenty to see and do, including the famous fish ladder and Festival Theatre in Pitlochry. There is a championship golf course in Blairgowrie, not to mention great local produce for which the area is famed. Kirkmichael itself has a good local shop and café, as well as a local pub for dining or enjoying a drink and riverside walks. A real haven for rest and relaxation. Shop 300 yards, pub and restaurant 350 yards.

Lovely quaint cottage, which unfortunately didn't match the photos of the living room, which looked lovely on the website. Feel the room has a make "under" and now looks a bit dingy I am afraid to say. The house was clean on arrival and we were supplied with soap, washing up liquid etc , although we had brought our own it was a nice touch . We wanted traditional so the rest of the house was great. Needs new pillows on the double bed , but room was comfy and cozy. My 40 year old son loved the snug of a second bedroom. The log burner in the living room was great after a day out and we were well supplied with logs etc. Location great about 20 minutes to either Pitlochry or the other way to Blairgowrie. Garden perfect for our dog and for us to enjoy in the nice weather.

I have never stayed in a cottage were the hand basin for the toilet was on the landing at the top of the stairs. Also never know a place to have as many spiders, flys and bugs. The bath room down stairs also had droppings in it. The cottage is in a lovely village with fantastic veiws on the drive into pitlochry. Great location.

We enjoyed our stay at Larch cottage. The surrounding area is quiet and peaceful with direct access to a number of local walks. The cottage was clean, warm and well equipped for self catering. The main bedroom is big with plenty of storage and the second bedroom is fine for a child or one adult.
