The prosperous highland Perthshire settlement of Comrie gets its name from the Gaelic term conruith, which means 'a place where rivers meet,' which is fitting given that the village is situated at the junction of three rivers that eventually flow into the Tay. There are several standing stones and archaeological remnants in the region, indicating that it was formerly populated. Today, the community benefits from wildlife and adventure tourism, since its position allows visitors to explore the surrounding mountains and lochs.

A gorgeous and very spacious little cottage with all the equipment and amenities you're going to need. We thoroughly loved our stay at Fordie West, only a 10 minute drive to nearby Crieff and an hour from Pitlochry and the entry to the Cairngorms. The views from the front of the estate are glorious. Our only negative feedback would be that furniture wasn't the comfiest but this is personal preference. Other than this it was perfect and we'll definitely consider coming back if we're in the area again. Thank you to Sheelagh and the team for this special little spot.

Trockner und Waschmaschine können kostenfrei genutzt werden. Tolle ruhige Anlage in einer wunderschönen Umgebung. Die Möbel sind sehr stilvoll, müssten allerdings etwas überholt werden. Wir kommen gern wieder.

The towels were a lovely quality. The beds were comfortable. The location was peaceful with lovely scenery. The only thing we missed was a full length mirror. My husband even managed to see a red squirrel as it scrambled up a tree. Would highly recommend.
