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.

We’ve just returned from a fabulous week away in this amazing cottage. Very well equipped with everything you could think of in the kitchen, even managed to find the cutlery! Very comfy beds we slept well every night, but it was so peaceful it would be hard not too. Hot tub was great to relax in on an evening. The garden was very secure for our 2 dogs, not something you get in every cottage. Some care is needed getting up the track to the cottage, especially the very last bit! Would love to return in the future.

One of the best cottages we have ever stayed in. Brilliant for the dogs and humans. Not a party place very quiet but plenty things to do if you want to do more.
