Had a fantastic stay at the bothy, the premises is spotless plenty of towels. Water pressure for showers are excellent, had a lovely home vibe. The owners were friendly and gave good recommendations to eat and places to visit locally. I would definitely come back again. The area is quiet couldn’t hear any road noises which is good.

A lovely cottage in a beautiful location. Very central for getting to Fife, Perth, Dundee and Angus. The beds were very spacious and comfy with good blinds/curtains which meant a good nights sleep, essential for me. The owners very nice and helpful and a very tasty welcome pack much appreciated. The negative would be the noise of anyone upstairs was very loud downstairs through the floor and every movement rattled the wardrobe doors. Also the boiler in the bedroom was very noisy. A cupboard without items to store the actual food in the kitchen would be good. Saying all that we did really like it and was happy to have decent sized and plenty of towels, and would recommend and return.
