GUEST REVIEWS
'Exceeded all my expectations - an absolutely brilliant place to stay. The location couldn't be easier for walking into town. The cottage is clean and nicely designed... I couldn't fault it. As a travel writer, I've stayed at a lot of places and this is one of the best! Would definitely return.'

'Such a beautiful position overlooking the valley and just far enough away from the town itself to be peaceful without then being long walk to get to the shops and restaurants and activities...The property was beautifully clean and provided everything we needed...Exactly what we needed and wanted.'
- Angela, Elmwood, Sept '21
'Ideally situated near to the town centre but far enough to have tranquility too... Perfect in meeting all our needs... If you crave peace and quiet this is the perfect place to stay with excellent hosts nearby if you need anything ... would thoroughly recommend you make this top of your list if staying in Pitlochry. Superb!!!'
