A lovely spot in Aberfeldy, a short distance from the main shopping area. The cottage was cosy with most of the things you'd need for a stay provided. Beware the low doorframes (and shower head) on the ground floor if you're over 5'10"! The living space was cute with folding dining table and chairs and a comfy sofa to lounge on. The kitchen was a great and well stocked with pots, pans, utensils etc. Upstairs, the large bedroom and additional lounge space was bright and peaceful. Outside, the garden was lovely and there was a space to securely store my husband's bike. Parking (free) is on the main street opposite the property - we never struggled for a space, and our vehicle was safe over the 7 days we stayed. Plenty to do in the surrounding areas with walks and biking available from the door of the property. Lots of great places to eat and drink, with personal highlights being the walk along the Tay to Grandtully for lunch outside (in March!) and a visit to the Glen Lyon roasters.All in all, a lovely spring stay in Aberfeldy was had!
