Lovely cottage. Very spacious, clean and well maintained. Georgia had contacted me before the holiday to say previous guests had reported a problem with bath tap but this was fixed before we arrived. We had no problems whatsoever, but I feel that if we had Georgia would have dealt with them straight away. Aberfeldy only a short walk away and lots of places to buy food. Great bakery, cafes. Only stayed four nights but felt there was much more to see. Would stay here again if we return to this area in future.
