Large Holiday Cottage sleeps eight by Loch Tay Aberfeldy Perthshire Scotland


Large Holiday Cottage, sleeps eight, by Loch Tay, Aberfeldy, Perthshire, Scotland.

Ample walking and climbing opportunities are available in the area - for the energetic, Ben Lawers (Perthshire’s highest mountain) can be attempted.
