The beautiful surroundings
Ben Lawers stands majestically to the west, a backdrop to the strath and Drummond Hill offering an ever changing scene on a sunny afternoon or winter daybreak is viewed from the living room, double or single bedroom. Evening sunsets can be enjoyed indoors or out, toasting your toes at the open log fire or listening to the owls as the stars make their appearance.
The barbecue overlooks the outdoor dining room to Weem Hill, Cluny Rock and Farragon Hill to the north. Indoors the rooms are spacious, the kitchen/diner has a gas living flame fire with ample room for five to eat. It shares the view south to Monad Nam Mail, the Black Wood and the orchid reserve beyond the millstone step at the front door with the twin bedroom. The bedrooms are well placed offering privacy to mixed parties and families alike. The private garden has an uninterupted panoramic view over arable farmland to Aberfeldy and the River Tay in the distance. On a clear day Studch an Lochan can be seen twenty miles away.
