A beautifully situated cottage in quiet surroundings and pictures views. Yes, it is a half hour drive from Pitlochry along a single track road but this is a small price for the peacefulness this brings. It was also one of the reasons we chose to stay here!

The cottage is perfect, just like the surroundings. So much peace and beautiful nature, with a view of the loch. The cottage is spacious, and the bed in particular is huge. It was clean enough. You have to drive a bit to get anywhere, but the drive alone is beautiful.

Lovely cottage in such a beautiful location. So quiet and peaceful but only a short drive (15 mins or so) to the lovely town of Pitlochry. Some very interesting places to visit in the local area too.
