This is a lovely B&Bin a delightful quiet area of Perthshire. Close to lots of tourist hot spots. A very warm welcome from Shelia and Adrian with tea and homemade cake. I had a downstairs bedroom with a comfy bed and use of a very pleasant sitting room. One surprise were the “dark skies” with a wonderful view of so many stars. I’ll visit again .

This property is well kept. The owners present a wonderfully comfortable place to rest and relax. A bit out of Dunkeld, the location is safe and quiet. I would recommend anyone looking for a bit of time in a country setting, stay here.

Shian Cottage - lovely
Right from the start I received a very warm welcome. My hosts were great and nothing was too much bother snd everything was done for my comfort. The cottage was lovely and I felt so relaxed there and it was well situated for the walks I had planned. I also enjoyed time sitting in the garden reading surrounded by beautiful countryside. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this bed and breakfast cottage. I will be going back soon.

Ideal accommodation for nearby BASC training centre, but equally suited to exploring the area around Dunkeld. Only minor quibble would be lack of en suite bathroom but otherwise facilities are first-rate and hosts are helpful to the extreme. My breakfast kept me full all day!

We enjoyed a lovely evening at Shian Cottage at the end of our Perthshire holiday. Hosts were excellent and we were treated to a lovely freshly baked lemon sponge to have with our tea and coffee while relaxing in the guest lounge. Comfortable bed and perfect cooked breakfast. We will hopefully return next year.

Shian Cottage is quite literally a home from home in a gorgeous setting. A car is essential with parking at the rear of the property. My room was immaculate and tastefully decorated and although not en suite, I had access to my own brand new, separate bathroom. Sheila and Adrian are warm, friendly, chatty hosts who extend a genuine welcome to anyone staying in their cosy home. We shared stories during my short visit, which made it feel as though I was visiting old friends rather than boarding in a guest house. You can't put a price on that! Also worth a mention are their beautiful, best behaved dogs.
