Lovely cottage, well equipped, good WiFi and plenty of outdoor space. Managed to get a fantastic week weather wise.There is a bird table just outside the window that with a little bird seed attracts a wide variety of birds. Loved taking an evening stroll on the circular walk on the doorstep.Trips to Crieff, Dunkeld, Bannockburn ,Pitlochry, Killiecrankie, Queens View and Doune Castle were great. Stirling and Perth are close by if shopping is what you’re looking for.Stirling also has an amazing castle that’s well worth a visit.Having stayed in both this cottage and the owners other property close by, I would definitely book either property again.

Nice comfortable lodge in very quit location. Lots of wildlife which was fantastic. Good walks near by. Could not use grill as control nob not working, shower not great as just a drip. Also nearby dogs kept going under gate and leaving mess in garden , which we felt obliged to clean up. Overall enjoyed our stay.
