What our customers say about their holidays

  Tressa was set in a beautiful quarry and the surroundings were extremely peaceful and made for a lovely holiday.

  The lodge itself was fantastic but let down by the most uncomfortable mattress in the ensuite bedroom. The mattress was very old and tired so I thick foam mattress topper had been put on top which was boiling hot and you rolled around like you’re on a marshmallow. My daughter was so uncomfortable she slept on the sofa for four of the nights. The mattress in the other bedroom was perfect thankfully as my mother has a terrible back and neck condition. The quarry behind our lodge was lovely to swim in. However the ladder installed to get down into the water rather than having to grab handles only had one which was not fixed securely and the space between the treads was very far apart and because you were holding your hands together in front of you when I tried to get in the quarry there was too much space between the treads and I fell very badly injuring my elbow arm and leg. I think a proper ladder with grab handles either side would be far more stable as had my daughter not been with me I would not have been able to get out. All this said if the ladder was changed swimming was an absolute dream in the quarry. I hope the mattress gets replaced had it not been for the lack of sleep I would without question book to return to Tressa as it was the most relaxing place to be. The most important thing with any holiday is getting a good. Night sleep and having a lovely hot shower. It always amazes me when people do not invest in decent mattresses. Please sort them out as we would all love to return

  This place is truly amazing.

  When you see all the reviews about how well equipped is, it really is. Everything that you could ever need. The place is comfy, clean and the cream tea (including the home made Jam) that was waiting for us, was also wonderful. We cooked in most nights and it was very easy. Lots of herbs and spices left there. The lakes are just something else. We came with two boys and a dog and the lower Lake was easier to be use as its a gradual walk in. Unlike the higher lake that you enter by a ladder which is a little harder, however the higher one is very quiet and secluded with a lovely wooden seat to sit and look out. I swam everyday... it was certainly fresh but amazing once you were in. The hot tub over looking the lower lake was also very welcome after a swim. We walked the dog the mile to the local pub every evening. The walk takes you up alongside the river which is lovely. The pub was great and we were met by really lovely locals. We didn't eat there, but heard only great things. We will defo be back. Thank you again Kirsty for your great and very quick communication. Liz x

  Can honestly say this is one of the most well thought out properties I have ever stayed in.

  Really lovely pieces of furniture including the dining table and dressing table stools as well.as supremely comfy beds and gorgeous bedding all top notch. Also though so many extras the sewing kit and first aid extras and that was just inside. Outside the fire out and barbeque with wood and firelighters supplied added to the special experience of the place and it's location. We even had a game of try at a game of swingball. The welcome pack was so generous with prosecco and marshmallows just perfect. The only thing which was a slight issue was the noise of the heat pump but wouldn't stop us recommending to friends or booking again if we can find a free slot. Loved it practical and luxury and also soothes the soul. We all need some of that these days. Also close to blairgowrie for grocery shopping and stocking up on essentials. Great location for exploring the local area we did pitlochry and the house of bruar, highland safaris and spirit of wood at aberfeldy, kenmore, birnam wood, the hermitage and dunkeld. So wish we were still there

  A five star rating doesn't really do this holiday cottage justice.

  It's absolutely beautifully presented and was equipped with everything we could want or need like superb EV charging (such a relief) lovely wood burner, high definition telly, great wi-fi, utility room etc etc...). Julia put an incredible amount of thought into making sure we felt welcome and cared for, providing just the right amount of contact. As regards location, the cottage is set in a field with a good view and plenty of grassy space with swallows wheeling and diving between the cottages. There's plenty to do in the area too. We (myself and two older children) had driven up from Oxfordshire so it was a relatively accessible base for visiting the highlands (one afternoon, we made it up to Aviemore and climbed Cairngorm Mountain, for instance) but there are lots of more local attractions. We loved visiting Glamis Castle and going white water rafting on the Tay, both under 30 mins away. All in all, thoroughly recommended.

  Idyllic cottage in an idyllic location to relax or use as a base to explore Scotland.

  Built to an extremely high standard and with the finishing touches of a 5-star hotel, the cottage is in a league of its own. Despite the Scottish weather, I am sure this could be used all year round. It's also very well equipped with thought put into everything, including a handy pair of reading glasses in case you forgot to pack your own! The cottage will comfortably accommodate four adults with a large lounge/dining/kitchen area 2 separate bedrooms, a utility/boot room, and lots of outdoor space including a fire pit. The town of Blairgowrie is less than a 10-minute drive away yet you feel deep in the countryside. There are also many connected paths and walkways to explore. Fully electric with an induction hob, ASHP, underfloor heating, and a log burner it was very cosy and ecologically sound. There is also an EV charger and it's pet friendly. Highly recommended!
