6th comment: The owners Heather and Leslie are very friendly and helpful. Our children loved the teaming wildlife, from deer to woodpeckers just on the door step. The cottage has everything you need for your holiday, and is warm and cosy. There are plenty of walks in the area, from small riverside side walks to Munros. Plenty of activities for children to do in Perthsire and beyond. Our children loved the Cranog (iron age dwelling) on Loch Tay and Stirling Castle. We hope to go back! May 2011.
