The open plan lounge. kitchen and dining area enables guests to be together whether preparing food or relaxing in front of Sky TV. The south facing views from the lounge are outstanding thanks to the four panel patio windows and doors framing the picture perfect view of Loch Earn, Glen Ample, Stuc A Chroin, Edinample Castle and two garden sculptures that light up at night.

Bed 1, West Gable End

​The bedrooms are situated at the east and west gable of the cottage to enable privacy in the evenings. There is a choice of a twin bedroom with an en-suite  spacious walk in wet room power shower or a King-size bedroom with an en-suite bath and shower room. Both bathrooms are finished with travertine gloss floor and wall tiles. Each bedroom has a glass patio door leading to the front patio garden and barbecue area. Grab a coffee and head out through your bedroom door without wakening those in the other bedroom. There are no street lights in front. Some guests like to open the curtains after lights to see the moon and stars and to wake up to the loch view in the morning.
