My husband and I frequently stay at this property and it really has become a home from home. It is cosy and well equipped with dishwasher, fridge freezer, washer dryer, TV with various streaming Apps. The Mill is set in a good location just a few miles outside of Crieff and within easy links to Glasgow, Edinburgh and further afield. The owners of the property ensures we have settled in on arrival and they respond promptly to any concerns. The gated courtyard at the front of property is ideal for having a morning coffee or glass of wine in the evening. There is also a large grassed area behind the property that can be used should you wish. Deer, red squirrels and a wide variety of wildlife can be seen there if you're lucky!

Lovely cottage. A home from home which has become a regular "go to" when my husband and I stay in Crieff. Very comfortable, quiet location with a 5 minute drive to Crieff Town. Plenty of country walks nearby and Loch Monzievaird is a beautiful walk and is only a 2 minute drive away. The owner or his son usually check in with us that we are OK with everything and always make us very welcome.
