A very comfortable house with a unique design. A 5 minute drive to Dunkeld. Ideal for a quiet outdoor holiday.

We had such a lovely time at Oaktree cottage! The house is gorgeous inside and had everything we would need. The garden is beautiful and peaceful too. We loved that the hot tub was in a hut so kept warm and it was more than enough space for us all. The owners are so friendly and accommodating which was kind. We enjoyed it so much we have booked it again for next year when we usually go somewhere new every year.
