Liked: Really enjoyed our stay at Dall cottage. Had to cross a ford to access the campsite, our car wouldn’t get across but no bother as there is a truck that can be arranged to take you across. Definitely has everything you need, a little shop with drinks, wood and blankets. Toilet and shower were both good, kept very clean. Had a real remote feel to the campsite, not many other campers and spaced out enough to not feel crowded. Each pitch has a ready set up fire pit area which is a really nice touch. The campsite is close to Pitlochry for shops and day out, plenty of walks to be had in the area. Overall had a great stay, enjoyed the walk across the river to access the site. Friendly and helpful owners.

Liked: Tremendous location. Secure. Brilliant hosts, really friendly and helpful. Small amount of pitches was a great idea, really makes the campsite feel unique and I always felt comfortable and safe. Was super lucky it was in the mid 20s the day I was there and the river was amazing to swim in! Dog loved it too! Will be back for sure. Thanks.
Disliked: Nothing. Was exactly as described and if you prepare then you'll have a great time.

Liked: Being beside the River Garry covers any nearby noise from the road, the sound of cuckoo's in the trees along the railway line, the fire pits, and the friendly owners and all terrain vehicle that can carry you across the river to the pitches.
Disliked: Not really a dislike but the site will be even better when the planted trees have grown some height, allowing more forested and private pitches
