Cosy cottage not far away from Pitlochry. The host Lindsay was a sweet and well spoken gentleman, so kind and with a great wealth of knowledge. Our room was looking over the pretty front garden: it was cosy, clean and warm, kind of chic country style. The breakfast was pleasant and served hot. We will miss not being able to ask Lindsay for suggestions on our outs and abouts. See ya next time!

Our stay with Pauline and Lindsay is a most memorable highlight on our trip through Scotland. Very close to Blair Castle and of course the Blair Athol and Pitlochry areas. Makes for a great location for easy day-trips exploring the area. Room was comfy and cozy. Food was EXCELLENT! Breakfast was hearty and a great way to start the day in their sunny and cheery dining area. This place felt like home the moment we walked through the door. Our hosts were a delight and always prepared with great advice or a story to share. We LOVED our time here. Highly recommend. Trust their tips on dining and places to visit.
