Everything about this cottage was excellent. The host, the location, and the cottage itself deserve 5/5. Hope to return in the near future.

We recently returned from another lovely holiday, staying at the 'old kennels' for our 3rd visit. Everything was perfect for us as usual—peaceful surroundings, a comfortable cottage, and friendly, helpful hosts. We enjoyed the wildlife all around, as usual, including the red squirrels. No pine martins sighted on this occasion, though we're sure they are still around! The cottage is in a very tranquil position, but still convenient for Pitlochry and Blairgowrie. Highly recommended.
