"The cottage provided a wonderful base for us as we attended our clan's annual meeting. We appreciated the thoughtful amenities. The walk up the hill after dinner helped work off the extra calories from the haggis and puddings. We hope to return. "

"This is the second year we have booked with Home From Home and we booked the same cottage as the year before. The booking system is easy to navigate and By The Brae is such a lovely cottage, spotlessly clean and has everything you require. An added bonus is that it has two en-suite bathrooms and everything inside the home is on one level which makes it ideal for a wheelchair user, including ramp access from the drive up to entry door. Location is perfect for a break in the highlands. Gaynor & family "

"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! "

A lovely place right by the loch and amazing walks - and just 5 minutes walk into town. Perfect for a couple or with kids. Also, great WiFi and fine for remote working Couldn’t ask for more!

The Denton family have enjoyed another holiday at Ruggles. The cottage is beautifully equipped. We enjoy the lovely garden and the walks from the cottage. I’m sure we will return next year. The family play golf at St Fillans We enjoy eating at Crieff Golf Club in the evenings. We made a visit to Cultybraggan Camp near Comrie.

Another delightful week in Cow Shed 2. As ever the cottage was spotless and cosy. We feel welcomed by owners Steve and Kirsty and are privileged to visit their lovely corner of Perthshire.
