Customer Reviews of Garden Cottage, Dunkeld - sleeps 2
1st comment: Very friendly, helpful owners. This was our second visit to Garden Cottage and we will be back. Beautiful,quiet location but still close enough to walk into Dunkeld. The owners home has a lovely garden and the autumn trees were beautiful. If you’re lucky you can see deer and red squirrels from the decking area. Oct 2011.
2nd comment: Garden Cottage exceeded all our expectations even better than brochure. On the strength of this we have booked another holiday with your company for next month in Hampshire and we are hoping for the same standard. Sept 2011.
3rd comment: This is a beautifully maintained and very well situated property. From the warm welcome by the owner on arrival to the comfort of the cottage with all modern conveniences and its suitability for exploring all that Perthshire has to offer, we could not have asked for anything better, except perhaps for a little less rain! Sept 2011.
4th comment: A very well appointed and comfortable cottage set in a beautiful location. Lots to see and do regardless of the weather. Very friendly and helpful owners. July 2011.
5th comment: This cottage is extremely comfortable with stunning views across the valley in a really beautiful area. We received very warm hospitality and we will be recommending this cottage to others. We hope to go again in the future. June 2011.

7th comment: Beautiful location/ scenery. The cottage was very comfortable and in an immaculate condition. Close enough to Dunkeld but still quiet and peaceful. Very friendly, helpful owners. Deer and red squirrels were an added bonus. Oct 2010.
