This is an absolutely magical place, a log cabin in a hamlet half an hour from Pitlochry. The birdsong is amazing. The big garden is beautiful. There are good walks along the river and along the Cateran Trail. A wonderful, peaceful place with a view of the hills. Inside it's atmospheric and very comfortable, specially the beds, and has everything we wanted. David is a good host, friendly and helpful if you need him, but unobtrusive.

Great location in the countryside but still close enough to Pitlorchy for the store, etc. Nice big place with lots of room outside to spread out and enjoy nature. Host on-site was very friendly and helpful. Would stay again if in the area. Lots of amenities, washer and dryer were nice to have. Double oven and stocked kitchen.
