This is a lovely property overlooking the River Tay. It is very nicely appointed with all the normal requirements. It is a little remote , with a small supermarket and a hotel/restaurant about a mile away. We had a lovely stay and the owners were really nice.

Being elderly, we had problems with working modern appliances but mastered them by the middle of the week. The owner was extremely helpful in suggesting fairly local days out which were all great. A welcome tray of delicacies was a lovely start to the week.
