Lovely spacious cottage tucked down track in quiet spot - despite how popular the viaduct a short distance away is!

I would highly recommend this cottage. It was clean and very comfortable and had a feeling of a family home about it. The outdoor space is wonderful for watching the birds and deer from. The log fire and huge television and large comfy sofa make evening in front of the television most enjoyable. The proximity to the two local munros was fabulous. Could bag them straight from the cottage. The viaduct and Jacobite train are a delight to see. Only thing I would say is that the driveway is tight and care is needed when turning at the top of the shared driveway.
