The prosperous highland Perthshire settlement of Comrie gets its name from the Gaelic term conruith, which means 'a place where rivers meet,' which is fitting given that the village is situated at the junction of three rivers that eventually flow into the Tay. There are several standing stones and archaeological remnants in the region, indicating that it was formerly populated. Today, the community benefits from wildlife and adventure tourism, since its position allows visitors to explore the surrounding mountains and lochs.

The cottage was very clean, warm, comfortable and well maintained. A cooker has now also been installed which was super. Sheenagh was very helpful and easy to contact through email. The estate is great for walks up onto the moors and is well placed for access to The Trossachs. We would definitely recommend and would like to stay again soon.

There are lots of walks locally with red squirrels on the estate and mountain hares on the hills which were a real treat to see. We would love to return.
