A very comfortable cottage ( we were a party of three), and in a very convenient location close to the facilities of Aberfeldy town. We appreciated the games room with the table tennis table which kept us occupied when the weather was not ideal for outdoor activities.

This house is in a great location and a good size. It feels as though it is a work in progress. A is a traditional building that has character and the furniture is in keeping and comfortable. It just feels like some upgrading of the paint/wallpaper and a review of what it provides (eg lots of knives but only a few forks in the cutlery drawer and mostly mis-matched) would be a benefit. It did feel homely and we enjoyed our stay.

Lovely house in good location that would benefit from some updating. Great central location with lovely views, huge garden and the bonus of a games room. Log burner in the large kitchen/dining room was cosy. Modern bathroom with shower and the addition of a small downstairs cloakroom was good. House is looking rather tired and would benefit from some updating. The bed in the master bedroom was only a small double and the mattres was very soft. Some investment in better beds and mattreses would be welcome. A deep clean required downstairs - lots of cobwebs.
