A well furnished & quiet cosy cottage with information for everyones interests. Despite hurricane katie being forecast. Pitlochry only had very heavy rain & wind. Nice and quiet here. Red squirrels came for their hazelnuts everyday and came and took them from your carpet floor at patio door. Golden Eagle seen at Rannoch Station. Enjoyed the peace & friendly welcome, will recommend to friends. Thank you
