We had the best week at Bramble cottage. It is so comfortable yet spacious perfect for my Dad and I plus two dogs. We had everything we needed for a week's self catering and felt really at home. It was very peaceful and had beautiful views. The beds were very comfortable and the shower really powerful. There were fantastic farm shops in the area for fresh fruit and a great butchers in Blairgowrie (Irvines) for your Scottish delicacies. The best cottage we've rented and we will definitely be back. Thank you!

We had a lovely week with our family at Bramble Cottage. It's so peaceful! We enjoyed watching the birds, rabbits, hares and occasional deer, along with the farmers harvesting in the fields. The garden was safe and secure for the 2 dogs and the location was good with stunning views. We were very lucky with the weather and enjoyed the eclipse and star gazing. The cottage was very well equipped but the only main criticism was the double bed mattress which really needs replacing - it really sagged on one side making it very uncomfortable to sleep on. Also, as the weather was so beautifully hot, a couple of garden chairs with backs would be ideal for relaxing in the garden. Otherwise it was a beautiful little cottage, just perfect for our family group - our son and his partner and grandchild. We travelled out and about - exploring Pitlochry, Dunkeld, Blair Atholl, Glamis Castle, Scone, waterfalls, lochs, mountains and woodland walks. We discovered "Church" restaurant in Rattray which we would really recommend. Absolutely delicious meals in a stunning re-purposed building. All in all, we had a lovely relaxing holiday in Bramble Cottage.
