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

A lovely cottage in a quiet location, an ideal base to explore the area. Cluny Gardens for the red squirrels was amazing, as was The Hermitage and our special visit to the Enchanted Forest

Dear Bea, We are now back home and already missing our wonderful ”home from home “ By the Brae! Can you pass on our thanks to Faye for providing such a welcoming home for us to use. It was most comfortable and cosy and we had all we needed (in spite of Covid regulations). I had taken soap but forgot the shower gel and shampoo! We had a wonderful week, rediscovering old haunts and finding new places and doing lots of walking as the weather was kind....mostly!

Gardeners Cottage was a little gem of a property. We had a superb stay and will definitely be back.
