Lovely peaceful spot from which to explore the beautiful area around Pitlochry. Brilliant views across Loch Tummel from the front of the property. We feel that more information should be given about the length of the narrow single track road , with passing places , that you need to drive along to reach the cottage from the A9. We didn't really have a problem but a less confident driver might find it challenging, particularly if the weather was bad. If you meet a lot of traffic on your way in or out it can add a considerable amount of time to your journey.

A beautifully situated cottage in quiet surroundings and pictures views. Yes, it is a half hour drive from Pitlochry along a single track road but this is a small price for the peacefulness this brings. It was also one of the reasons we chose to stay here!
