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.

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.

Perfect stay !

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 !

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.
