An excellent and well appointed cottage making it a superb, comfy and relaxing holiday. Very welcoming and real home from home feeling. Very helpful people in all the local shops especially in the tourist office. Although late in the season the weather was fairly good and the late autumn colour which made the local walks stunning. The red squirrels appeared in the garden once the frost lifted. Looking forward to another visit.

We have had a wonderful time staying at Atom Crow Cottage, it is very comfortable and has everything we needed, with fantastic views. It has been a fabulous base for our many walks walks including Ben Vrackie, the Clunie walk, Black spout wood, and Loch Faskally. We hardly used the car! Had a great day out at Blair Atholl and saw the highland games. Also we had a lovely day at queens view walking in the forests.
