Cosy Cottage, River Garry at the bottom of the garden, attention to detail in everything, decoration, kitchen ,heating, furnishing etc. very comfortable . 5 minutes walk from the atmospheric Atholl Arms for a bar supper, (with a general store on the way)
A well presented attractive character property in a lovely location with great walks all around. The large screen smart TVs and wood burner make for a great evening.
Sometimes, you just get lucky with your choices.
Location was perfect. A quick train trip to Pitlochry, a lovely walk to Blair Castle and a peaceful sit at the end of the day.
The owners responded to any and all questions prior to our arrival quickly. One minor request upon arrival was handled immediately.
The cottage was comfortable and fully equipped, with the exception of laundry. We did though, find a local laundry service and they too, were quick to take care of our needs.
We will return. Riverside Cottage is a gem!
