As the name suggests, this cottage ensures your four-legged friends will have as amazing a holiday as you will in the remarkable Scottish countryside. The home comfortably sleeps four guests, ideal for families or a small group of friends, and you're welcome to bring along four dogs. Man's best friend will no doubt adore the grassy lawn out front, enclosed and private to ensure you don't have any furry escapees during your stay.

This country cottage maintains a traditional aesthetic throughout, creating a homely and instantly welcoming space. The cosy lounge is an inviting area for unwinding after a long day of walking and exploring. Enjoy the luxury of a full Sky TV package, no doubt with one (or four) dogs curled up at your feet. The open fire is the perfect antidote to a cold winter's evening, creating a warm hub and cosy sleeping spot for your beloved bowows. In the summer, you can look forward to enjoying the outdoor space. The secluded location of the home ensures you can unwind with privacy, whilst the large enclosed garden provides perfect space for dog training or simply running off some steam on lazier days.

Less than 500 metres from the home, you'll find yourself at the popular tourist spot of Queen's View - a stunning viewpoint of the nearby Loch Tummel. This area boasts an abundance of waterside and woodland walks. Be sure to leave no stick unfetched in this rural area, going mutts for the glorious landscapes and exciting local wildlife. Those eager to bag a Munro can embark on a trip up Schiehallion (15 miles), an easy walking route that's ideal for both pets and their masters to enjoy on a clear day.

This traditional cottage is very cosy and well kitted out in beautiful wooded surroundings. In the Winter, guests need to be prepared to bring bottled water in case of freezing or that the water may need boiling; and that the steep drive may be icy for cars to go up. But if are well prepared this winter wonderland getaway is well worth the effort.

This is a delightful quirky property which reminded me very much of my grandparents' cottage in the country. You need to be prepared to accept that part of its charm is that it is dated but that very much appealed to me and my friend. Do take some bird food with you. You will be well rewarded.

Lovely cottage, warm, comfy, with everything we needed for a few days away. It would benefit from a deeper clean from time to time to clear the cobwebs but it certainly didn't spoil our visit. Great garden and perfectly secure for dogs. All in all, lovely cottage to spend a few days exploring the area.

Had a wonderful time. The seclusion was just what we needed and watching the birds feed was a daily joy. The dogs thoroughly enjoyed the garden and it was so nice to be able to walk with a coffee and potter about with them rather than go for a walk first thing.

Would recommend a stay in this homely cottage. You get used to the quirks of the water supply system. Cheapest place to buy bottled water was the co op in Pitlochry at 1.50p for 5 litres. It gets very warm when you light a fire but it adds to the ambience of the cottage. Our dogs loved the garden and if you close the gate it is totally dog secure.
