Great place and glad to recommend. The Wee Bothy was spotless and comfortable for a couple. The castle gardens, which we visited most days are a joy (even in early autumn). The Bothy is in an ideal location to visit Perth, Sterling and Edinburgh, and we did all three. Thanks Claire and the team. and thankyou for the welcome pack.
