So much is simply perfect about the cottage. You are right on the edge of the woodland so we saw red squirrels and woodpeckers. You are really close to Black Spout waterfall which is a magical spot. The cottage is really nicely decorated with lovely homely touches.We had fishing gear and various other stuff with us so having the conservatory to dump our stuff in was ideal. The hot tub also a welcome way to relax after a day walking - and then of course you can get the log fire going.The shower room is very 'compact' - I'm not sure how well it would manage with 4x adults stuff but it was only two of us so absolutely fine.Pitlochry is a fantastic little town with pretty much all you need. There's a good sized Coop and they are just building a new big Tesco. You can walk into town in around 20mins. The cottage is at the top of the hill and Pitlochry at the bottom so you get a lot of exercise going up and down.The only thing that would make us think twice about returning is the length of unmade dirt track between the cottage and the road. I would not recommend trying it in a car with low ground clearance.

My husband and I with our beloved dog had the most wonderful week. Total bliss from start to end. The cottage is beautiful, warm and cosy with everything you require for your stay. The log fire is stunning, the hot tub a lovely addition to the holiday with stunning views all around. The location is quite simply beautiful, especially the autumn colours all around.

Lovely peaceful setting on the edge of Black Spout woods, just outside Pitlochry. Lots of lovely walks from the door step. Great views over to Ben Vrackie from the back of the cottage. Nice secure garden if travelling with your four legged friend(s).The drive up from the main road is a little bumpy but taken slowly isn’t a problem and you get used to it. Very comfortable and stylish with good facilities. Good storage space for clothes etc.I would definitely recommend.
