The welcome pack was full of local goodies of high quality, the property was spotlessly clean and really well equipped, the decor has been done tastefully to a very high standard and it is very comfortable, we could ask for nothing more, this has to be one of the best places we have stayed and we will be back.

The setting is peaceful and tranquil but well placed to visit the surrounding area which is stunning. The only thing we missed was some outdoor furniture at the back of the property . We were welcome to use the garden at the side but it would be even nicer and convenient to sit just outside the house in the private yard at back. But generally an excellent stay and owners were brilliant. Lovely meals out at The Falls of Dochart in Killin and The Inn on The Tay plus Watermill Café at Aberfeldy ...all dog friendly! Had a super time overall and would recommend.

Beautifully decorated with furnishings in great condition. There is a log burner which we didnât have to use- there are electric radiators throughout- very modern and very hot, the property is clearly very well insulated as we didnât feel the cold from outside despite on occasion freezing November winter temperatures. Plenty of TV channels- if you want to watch tv, also a Bluetooth speaker. Dog friendly, take a torch for evening walks in winter months (although there are some within the cottage) The In on the Tay is dog friendly and within walking distance as is The Highland Chocolatier. There is a small Spar shop/post office also nearby. The rural location is perfect for escaping city living. The owners are a family who live on site, very friendly and helpful should you need anything (which we didnât) I would definitely stay in this cottage again, and most definitely recommend Verdi or the attached cottage Puccini.
