Loved this cottage, very clean and well equipped. The nearest shop is 2 miles away so if you like somewhere a bit more lively maybe not for you but if you like peace and tranquility then there's nowhere better. Makes a great base for walking or touring but equally if you want an away from it all break then this is definitely the place
Superb. Perfect location for hill walking. Clean, private, quiet and well-equipped. The best VRBO rental, of many, we’ve enjoyed.

My partner and I had a wonderful stay in a beautiful location, the Kennels were well equipped and very clean, warm and homely, ans I know the area we made a detour into Perth Tesco for some supplies, but there is a local community shop! Being half way between Perth and Pitlochry it’s handy to take a few staples to keep you going.Only down side was we had to go back to reality! My partner was thrilled seeing her first red squirrel right outside the cottage and it is a bird paradise! We will defiantly be returning and would highly recommend the Kennels!
Excellent condition, very warm cosy cottage, easy travelling into Pitlochry. Overall a relaxing few days.

Fantastic kitchen & wet room.
Ideal place to just switch off. Remember where you are though, don't expect inner city broadband speeds & enjoy getting away from it all.
