Just returned from a very enjoyable 2 week stay at Riversdale Cottage. Despite an initial heating problem that Fiona dealt with very quickly, we had a lovely time there, although the weather was very wet throughout our stay.The cottage had everything we needed, bed was comfortable and facilities have been comprehensively provided for. A thoughtful welcome pack was also left for us to enjoy.The location is lovely and quite convenient for getting out and about but the nearest decent shopping for provisions is Crieff. We would definitely stay at Riversdale again in future (and hope for better weather next time!).
