We had a wonderful time. The house, kitchen, living room, and bedroom, were perfect for our needs. A warm welcoming environment! We were there over Christmas and appreciated the Christmas decorations. The countryside was beautiful and we were glad that Aberfeldy was close and had a Coop that we could get last minute things.
