Our stay was absolutely enchanting, restorative, serene, welcoming, restful, wonderful, cozy, delightful, charming, comforting -- just wonderful and exactly what we needed. Roxanne and Atoll went out of their way to ensure we felt welcome. We cannot express just how touched we felt by their attentions. The cottage is impeccably appointed, tidy, and there is a very generous welcome package upon arrival. They are both everything that personifies everything that is wonderful about Scottish people and that wonderous country that is Scotland! We will never forget just how welcome we were made to feel!! Thank you truly from the bottom of our heart!!!

Lovely well appointed cottage. Lovely decor and very clean. Ideal safe enclosed garden which was perfect for us and our dog. Lovely touch with a food hamper supplied on our arrival with great produce. The family are very friendly and welcoming. This is an ideal place to stay to explore such a beautiful part of Scotland. There is a golf course on the doorstep which allowed and is ideal for walking the dog. 2 lovely Inns a few minutes walk away over the Tay. Would definitely return to this cottage again.
