COVID-19 has necessitated a few changes. We do not always keep a day or more free between lets, but we do provide pillows and duvets which have been quarantined for at least 72 hours between guests and we do utilise an UV Sterilisation lamp between guests. We use a Dettol laundry cleanser for laundering all laundry. We cannot quarantine the mattresses , but we change the mattress protector between visits. We follow UK and Scotland government guidance as appropriate.

A lovely place to stay
The property is lovely and comfortable and contained everything we required for our stay. The property is well maintained and clean. The owners were on hand - never intrusive - to offer friendly advice or assistance. The surrounding area was also lovely with lots of things to do.

About the host

Hosted by Janette

Host profile image
We are keen salmon fishers who have visited the area for about 30 years and decided to switch our priorities and live in the place we love to visit and visit our former life in the Cotswolds. We are still exploring our local area but have been impressed with all the facilities that are on offer.

Why they chose this property

This is the perfect location for a highland retreat, but has the advantage of being only 3 miles from civilisation! When you wake up in the morning to the sound of the Burn, the peace and tranquillity is perceptible. The cottage is set in 6 acres of land providing that feeling of a rural escape!

What makes this property unique

Peace and tranquillity - just 3 miles from Aberfeldy offering shops , restaurants and eateries, cinema and sporting and leisure facilities.
Easy traveling distance to several famous fishing beats on the Tay and Tummel. Stalking on Rannoch moor. Skiing and Snowboarding at Glenshee.
Perth c34 miles away, Pitlochry c 17 miles away.
Several whisky distilleries offering tours and tastings including Dewar's, Blair Athol and Edradour
The property is situated within a c 6 acre smallholding with rare Hebridean Soay sheep who lambed at the end April and first weeks of May so we now have 10 lambs, 3 rams and 10 ewes and 13 free ranging hens
