First of all I just want to say that this review is no reflection on the owners. We were greeted warmly at the house by the owner and was shown around the property and everything was explained to us (how to use the cooker etc). The issue we had was that the particulars suggested this was a property for all seasons - unfortunately this is not the case. I recognise that the weather conditions were not ideal (which is why we went, we wanted the snowy conditions) but the house is a really cold property. It has electric storage heaters and open fires in the living room and the dinning room. We found out very quickly that it was going to take a lot to keep the house warm. With the heating on as high as well could get it and the log fires going in both rooms we just couldn’t stay warm. There was a draft that came through the front door that really made the ground floor of the property very chilly. We persevered but after one night we just couldn’t stay. Of the 3 of us that were staying 2 of us have complex medical issues that are exacerbated by cold temperatures. Outdoors this can be managed with warm clothing and plenty of hot drinks but just sat in a cold house is not ideal. We also found that the open fires tended to leave a ‘sooty’ residue that we found on the dinning table. Due to this we had to take the decision to leave the property after 1 night and seek alternative accommodation elsewhere. I have no doubt that during the summer months this is a lovely quiet place to come and recharge the batteries but in winter it just isn’t suitable. This was a shame as that’s not what we were expecting based on the information contained on the website.

A lovely, cosy cottage on the Cateran trail, also close to Pitlochry and all the walks there. Very responsive and helpful host who also accommodated the needs of my toddler! We really enjoyed our stay and will hopefully be back!

Sunnyside was a lovely traditional cottage. Great location and so cosy with 2 open fires. Wendy met us at the property and also checked via txt that we were settled ok later. Everything you need is here and the walks were just beautiful. Great value! We will return!Thank you Wendy 💞
