Great cottage. Very well equipped and very comfortable and spacious. Not really suitable for anyone with mobility difficulties due to internal stairs. We really loved our stay there though.

We loved the log burners in the lounge and the snug- it was very cosy. I especially loved the dining table, beautiful wood. We spent alot of time playing games on it. My grandchildren enjRead moreoyed bouncing on the trampoline, it was a huge success. I would recommend this house to any family. Hide

Beautiful well equipped cottage in lovely countryside. Everyone in our group aged 10-70 enjoyed watching the birds in the mornings around the bird feeder which is opposite the Lounge window, especially seeing a Nuthatcher, Woodpecker and the pair of Pheasants

Forebrae was an incredible place to stay! We will definitely come back. Where it was located was so central to everywhere and the local village of Dunkeld is so picturesque. You can drive out to see local fluffy cows (Highland cows), take local walks, you can take a day trip to the Highlands, the coast or Edinburgh. And of course the wood burner waRead mores so cosy and the whole house incredibly equipped, it has everything you need for a wonderful holiday and rest. Definitely recommend it highly. Hide

Forebrae is such a beautiful place to stay. Setting is just stunning, and so peaceful. You can just sit and watch the wildlife as they stroll thru the garden. We saw a herd of deer and a little bambi and mum wandered across the lawn. The house has everything you could need and the kitchen equipment is excellent. We have stayed twice as a group of 1Read more0 and the house bothvisits has been spotless and well maintained. We love that there is a good mix of sleeping arrangements as well. Home from home! Hide
