This famous lightshow in the woods, listed in the Lonely Planet's compilation of unmissable experiences attracts 80,000 visitors over it's 5 week run each year. It takes place each Autumn in Pitlochry's Faskally Woods around Dunmore Loch, a former curling pond.

This is an ideal time to stay in Perthshire, with endless walks through autumn woods and misty mountains. 

Why not stay in a holiday home with a warm stove to curl up next to after a day in the Autumn air?

Guest Reviews

We had a lovely stay in Auld Smiddy Cottage. The history of the house is clearly explained and artefacts and pictures give a taste of the smiddy. The house is comfortable with everything you could need. We particularly enjoyed sitting outside in the garden, relaxing to the soothing sound of the stream. The bedrooms were bright and spacious. Thank you for our stay.

We had a fantastic weekend stay at The Bothy. The location was stunning and secluded with amazing views across the countryside. The Bothy itself is beautifully designed (especially the kitchen/dining area!), and perfect for a short break away. Bea very helpfully sent through very clear directions as I think the Satnav would’ve had some trouble finding it. There were some lovely welcoming touches which were very much appreciated. Excellent communication from Bea throughout our stay. We would absolutely recommend The Bothy to anyone looking for a calm and tranquil stay away in the Perthshire countryside.

Beautiful house with privacy and space for 8 people. Only about 10 walk from centre of Pitlochry - and the option to feed the ducks on your walk. Spotlessly clean with all fully functioning appliances in the kitchen. Lovely decking area. We had 7 people staying and there was loads of space for us all. Highly recommended.
