8/10
Hi, when we arrived we knew that the property was 17th century, and that looks like the last time, it was decorated :-). However, and this is a HUGE however, despite the fact, that this property is in need of a major refurb, this did not detract, from the fact, that we had a most enjoyable stay.
On the day we left, there were 3 cleaners, ready to go into the cottage to clean it. If these are the normal cleaners, then I think that the managing agent, needs to replace them, as they are clearly not doing a proper job of it.
The beds, linen, towels, etc were all clean, which was the most important part, and that's why we stayed.
The kitchen had everything you need, and previous occupiers, had left salt, pepper, spices, oil, etc, so this was a good start, when we went to get our first shopping list.
The bathroom has a bath with shower over, and although there is wetwall around the bath / shower area, the silicon needs replaced, as does the shower seal onto the bath. The master bedroom has an "en suite", which was so funny, as it was obviously a small walk in cupboard previously, and has been converted into a WC. It was really funny to see this.
The lounge has 2 of newish 3-seater and a 2-seater sofas, has a coal fire, but also the cottage has central heating throughout, so was certainly not cold at all.
It was very cosy in the lounge, after a long day, walking around the beautiful countryside.
This cottage is excellently situated, for access to Moulin, Pitlochry, Edradour, Black Spout, Craigower, Ben-Y-Vrackie, and well as walks to Killiecrankie. It is directly behind the Moulin Inn (Circa 1695), and good food and selection of drinks are available. I even tried 3 of the Moulin Brewery Real Ales, which were very good, and at ÂŁ3.70 for 3 third pints glasses, to try out 3 different ales, was a bargain.
If the owner / management team, were to invest in a refurb of this cottage, it could be really amazing, but "all in all", we had a fabulous break, in this cottage, and would certainly use it again.
