Sorry for the local amenities score. But River Cottage is lots of miles away from most amenities. There is a pub and shop in Kirkmichael, the nearest village. But we didn’t use them. Too tired to go out after days walking in forests and doing outdoor stuff. The cottage is lovely. The location, within a couple of metres of the river, is magical. Unfortunately, due to rainy weather we didn’t sit out on the deck. But we did watch the birds and other wildlife, red squirrels and pine marten, coming to the peanut feeder to stock up on free grub. The cottage had everything we needed. Clean, with comfortable beds, good Wi-Fi and Sky TV reception. We had a very enjoyable stay and would recommend River Cottage to people who want a comfortable and characterful base which is properly out in the countryside.

We had a lovely stay at River Cottage. The location is idyllic if you like peace and quiet. It's not completely remote but you really do feel miles from the hustle and bustle. The river location means there is very little noise other than the sound of the wind, water and birds. We took a walk from the front door, through forestry commission land and saw all kinds of birds and a couple of deer. Pitlochry is about 20 minutes away by car, so not too far and there are plenty places to shop and eat out. The cottage was well kitted out and we had what we needed for a weekend break.
