Ballinduin Bothy is located midway between the delightful Perthshire towns of Pitlochry and Aberfeldy and about one mile from the picturesque villages of Strathtay and Grandtully which straddle the river Tay. Built in the latter half of the 19th century, the Bothy was converted approximately 50 years ago, underwent a full refurbishment in 2014 and is finished to a high standard. There are truly stunning views from the lounge windows and garden to the south and west up the Tay valley towards Aberfeldy. Visiting wildlife comprise a host of birds and resident families of red squirrels as well as stoats, hares, rabbits and an occasional deer.

These include water sports on the river Tay and loch Tay, walking at any degree of difficulty from a stroll along the Tay to scaling the heights of Ben Lawers, cycling on the many local tracks or a round of golf at the 9 hole course in Strathtay. The Birks cinema in Aberfeldy and the Festival theatre in Pitlochry are close enough to take in a show in the evenings and there are numerous restaurants, shops and pubs in these towns.

We had a brillant time here. The location is great, nature is all around, it’s very peaceful. The cottage is very cosy, very well refurbished. Stewart and Liz have been very kind, they provided us with milk, cereals, eggs, bacon ... for our first breakfast (we really appreciated the gesture), they made sure everything was alright for us, excellent hosts, thank you !

Our family of five had a very enjoyable stay in a part of Scotland where the scenery is just gorgeous. The accommodation was equally impressive and provided ample space for us all during our stay. To add to the comfort we all really appreciated our welcome pack of goodies, thanks to Stewart and Liz. We would certainly consider staying here again in the future.

Hidden gem with spectacular views and prestine cleanliness

The gem of a cottage surpassed our expectations. The stunning views were even better in reality than the website photos. Impeccably clean throughout. The welcome pack was an ice touch, and the sight of red squirrels and rabbits added charm. A tranquil retreat, this cottage offers a wonderful slice of beautiful Scotland. I can't wait to return.

Stunning location, great and very comfortable facilities

The self-contained house has three very comfortable bedrooms, all with en-suite facilities. It is thoughtfully and stylishly furnished throughout and the kitchen is well equipped. The living room offers great views and is good for watching the abundant local wildlife. The local area, just outside the Cairngorms national park, has much to offer. The host was very welcoming and communication was clear and easy.
