On the northbound A9 take the Dalwhinne Distillery turning, stay on the road and after 5 miles you will pass the cottage. Simples Also, the image of the cottage provided showed the rear of the building never to be seen from the road. A roadside image would be an advantage. All in all a very pleasant experience and highly recommended.

Easy access to nearby 'A' roads. Parking on site. Owner polite and helpful. On the downside, toilet flushing in the adjacent cottage is loud enough to wake you up at night. Lots of exposed copper piping throughout the cottage, a coat of white paint would help.
