This was the third time we have stayed in this lovely cottage. A working flour mill a few yards down the road can provide tasty snacks and breakfast and the little shop a bit further on has essentials and more. This time, as usual, we caught the train to Perth at Pitlochry so that we could have lunch at Effies restaurant.We will return. Perfect!
