The cottage is very comfortable, clean and has everything you need. The lounge is spacious and cosy, lovely to relax in of an evening. Bedrooms are comfortable. We were delighted there was a shed where we could keep our bikes.The cottage is in a great location for exploring the area, which is beautifully scenic and picturesque, whatever the weather. We walked and cycled from the cottage - there are lots of routes to explore and there are maps and leaflets available in the cottage. Pitlochry is close by if you fancy some shopping. We were visiting a bit out of season so a lot of places were closed, however we had a beautiful meal at the Loft and the Bothy Bar is close by for food and drinks.Overall I would happily visit the Old Mill again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to others.

Location of cottage was really good, nearby Pitlochry good for shopping. Downstairs was very good ,nice layout.Main bedroom was a bit challenging as getting out of bed you had to stoop so as not to hit head on ceiling 😒 🤕.Overall a very clean and well equipped cottage.

A truly delightful cottage in an idyllic setting with numerous nearby attractions and lots of walks locally. Ideally located to explore the beautiful Perthshire countryside, and beyond. Immaculately clean, with absolutely everything guests might need, thoughtfully provided for by the owner Suzanne. Communication was excellent, particularly when we had a power cut due to Storm Amy hitting Scotland hard during our stay! Would my partner and I recommend Old Mill Cottage to others? ABSOLUTELY!! Other reviewers have mentioned it's close proximity to the local mainline train track. Unless considering visiting with young children (trains run until late evening) this really shouldn't put you off. It's actually fun seeing them go by, and within 24hrs you'll barely be bothered or take any notice of them. In short, if you decide to book a stay at Old Mill Cottage you won't regret it!! We are already looking to book again in 2026.
