Right in the centre so close to all the lovely pubs, restaurants and cafes. Excellent walks from the doorstep.

The kitchen was fully equipped, the lounge/diner was a decent size and felt very relaxing, and the main bedroom had a large very comfy double bed. The location is great being fairly quiet but very close to pubs, eateries, and the Co-op. There are two choices of semi- covered outdoor bars with seating right next to the picturesque River Tay. No allocated car parking space, but I only once had to park more than 30 yards from the property.

Itâs comfortable, well-supplied with kitchen necessities. The kitchen and bath are newly fitted with very nice fixtures and appliances and enough pans and dishes to prepare a meal for 12! We enjoyed being able to walk easily to local coffee shops, restaurants, stores and the surrounding sites like the Cathedral, the River Tay, the Hermitage. The only slight negative was the constant cigarette smell which probably came from a smoker living below. While nothing can be done about neighbors it was a bit of an irritant. We were able to open windows for fresh air. Also the sitting room and bedroom carpet might need replacing as itâs a bit musty. Otherwise a most enjoyable stay in a great location.
