We had to pop to the post office this afternoon.

With the sunshine pouring down, I took a few moments to enjoy the beautiful view over the River Avon at Ballindalloch … so pretty I had to share.

For more information on the cottage, activities and availability, please follow the link in our bio.

Whether through curated packages, extended-stay offers, or partnerships with local attractions, the bleisure boom is redefining how business travel is experienced.
