We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and were warmly welcomed by our friendly hosts Colin and Deb. The property was in excellent condition and we really enjoyed the use of the pool and tennis court. House is located in a great position, a short drive to the local shops at Blairgowrie or Sorrento. We would love to return for another stay in the future.

Lovely place
Decorated well
Would have been good to have a coffee machine and ice but had a frozen fish!
The couch was covered in blankets but really needs a clean.

Thanks for the suggestion of a coffee machine. The blankets we cleaned ourselves the day before and are only to protect a new sofa bed.
We loved the care taken in the presentation of the cottage. The pool is first class.
