    Self catering cottage with everything we needed including a welcome pack. Nice kitchen & living room with large bedroom downstairs. 2nd bedroom was in the loft with access via a loft ladder. Very spacious and comfortable but only book if you can...

My cottage was lovingly renovated in 2018. It is a traditional cottage. The upstairs bedroom is accessed by a pull down ladder. There is a fully equipped kitchen and a bathroom with a big walk in shower. The living room has a comfy sofa and armchair. There is a smart TV with Netflix, iPlayer and YouTube. There is also a table which seats 4.
I am Helen and my cottage used to be my home. I live a short distance away. I’m delighted that you have choses to stay in my cottage and I look forward to welcoming you.
The village is a nice little village with a play park, lots of walking and a well stocked village shop. Blackford is home to Tullibardine Whiskey Distillery and Highland Spring water.
