Lovely, cosy cottage in a beautiful setting overlooking the Tay. The cottage is well equipped and comfortable. The shower is lovely. It's a little bit of a walk into town (about 20 minutes for us) but there is a good taxi service. I really loved going down to the river to relax and we sat outside a couple of times on the patio area. We also walked easily to Quarrymill Woodland close by and Scone Palace. I would go again.

Wonderful cottage, view from patio lovely with all the flowers on show and The Tay in nice weather you could set by the river. Gardens spectacular. Property had everything needed, for me personally the toilet being downstairs was a minus. Owner very nice and will help with any problem that may occur.
