1st comment: We thoroughly enjoyed the cottage, waking up every morning to see the deer outside the window, the cottage was beautiful and well thought out, the owners very friendly and always helpful. Sept 2011.

2nd comment: The cottage was much larger than ever expected, lots of space for a family to move around in. Aug 2011.

3rd comment: Heather Croft is huge and luxurious place to stay for a family of four. The utility room is very useful having been out in wet weather. All mod cons are included and made our holiday a great one. The Wildlife around the property is amazing with deer, woodpeckers and jays a daily sighting. Aug 2011.

4th comment: Fantastic location and accommodation. Aug 2011.

5th comment: The owners were exceptional hosts, the area rural with much wildlife. The track to the house from the main road a wee bit rough but that goes with a rural location. Very peaceful. Dunkeld a lovely town with plenty of eating places. July 2011.

6th comment: The owners Heather and Leslie are very friendly and helpful. Our children loved the teaming wildlife, from deer to woodpeckers just on the door step. The cottage has everything you need for your holiday, and is warm and cosy. There are plenty of walks in the area, from small riverside side walks to Munros. Plenty of activities for children to do in Perthsire and beyond. Our children loved the Cranog (iron age dwelling) on Loch Tay and Stirling Castle. We hope to go back! May 2011.

7th comment: The property is in a perfect location for peace and quiet, plenty to see and do in the area, excellent walks around the property, with an abundance of wildlife quite literally all around the property. A must for any one who likes this type of thing. May 2011.

8th comment: Absolutely perfect cottage. Beautifully situated and finished to a very high standard. Basically the best Cottage I’ve been too. March 2011.

9th comment: Very well laid out new built property. Very friendly, courteous owners, who met us in the nearest village as roads were tricky with the weather. Accommodation was warm clean and had very good facilities and appliances. Feb 2011.
