This is an amazing cottage, you feel as if you’re in another world. The surrounding land is full of surprises, deer and squirrels running around and when we were by the river Tay we saw a kingfisher a few times, it was our go to place, very comforting and rhearaputic. The cottage was warm and cosy and the beds were very comfy, hope to go back again .

The Cottage is really lovely. It had the perfect amount of space for our family of 4 + dog. We enjoyed using the big kitchen diner and playing Scrabble in the garden. What we loved most though was the walk through the woodland down to the River Tay. We spent an hour on the riverbank each day.
