  Let me start by saying what an amazing place Heilan Roo is.

  When you first arrive, the property looks as amazing as the pictures portray, especially if you arrive at dusk as we did. The house is very spacious and has two adjoining open plan living spaces. One we used during the day with a large leather corner sofa overlooking the front of the property and the other an entertainment area sharing it’s space with the kitchen and dining table. All the rooms are furnished to a high standard with quality furniture, paintings and hand made decorations in each room. The kitchen is well stocked and has everything you could ever need. Nothing is missing and you won’t need to bring anything with you. The gravelled garden was beautiful with its waterfalls that lit up on an evening and made for a fantastic place to relax in the log fired hot tub at the end of the day. We didn’t use them, but there was also a BBQ and fire pit which would make for a great place to spend your time in the summer evenings I’m sure. Elaine had put together a welcome basket with a number of goodies to welcome us. Both before and during our stay she was very attentive, offering tips on the hot tub, EV charging and places to eat and visit during our stay. Pitlochry itself has plenty of places to eat and visit and we followed some of Elaine’s recommendations by eating at McKay’s and The Old Mill. We also visited the Dam and Salmon Ladder which were free to access. A short walk from the house is the Killiecrankie Visitor Centre and Jacobite Cafe where you can grab a cake and coffee before walking the River Garry all the way to Pitlochry and/or visit the Soldiers Leap. Heilan Roo is a stunning property and located in a fantastic location. You really couldn’t find anywhere better to stay and we couldn’t believe our luck in being able to book it. We will definitely look forward to coming back again in the near future.

  A Perfect Slice of Heaven Our stay at Heilan Roo in Killiecrankie was nothing short of exceptional.

  From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this holiday home is a cut above the rest. The house was immaculate, reflecting an impressive attention to detail that made us feel comfortable and welcomed instantly. Every room was spotless, beautifully decorated, and equipped with all the amenities we could possibly need. The location of Heilan Roo is absolutely stunning. Nestled in the heart of Killiecrankie, the surrounding landscape is nothing short of breathtaking. We found ourselves immersed in the natural beauty of the area, with scenic views and peaceful surroundings that provided the perfect backdrop for a relaxing getaway. Whether you’re looking to explore the local trails or simply enjoy the serenity, this location is ideal. Elaine and Roo, our hosts, could not have been more accommodating and helpful. Their hospitality truly made our stay special. They went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, offering valuable tips and recommendations that enhanced our experience. Their warm and friendly approach made us feel right at home. We wholeheartedly recommend Heilan Roo to anyone looking to escape to a little piece of heaven. It is the perfect retreat for those seeking a combination of pristine accommodation, stunning location, and outstanding hospitality. Our time here was unforgettable, and we can’t wait to return.

  Heilan Roo was everything we could have hoped for and more.

  Elaine had left us the most wonderful hamper, and had even gone the extra mile, by decorating the table with a “Happy 21st” birthday balloon for my daughter whose birthday we were celebrating. She was even so kind as to leave a gift and card for her, which was a lovely added touch. Heilan Roo definitely delivers on luxury, and we were fortunate enough to have fabulous weather over our weekend stay, which allowed us to use the beautiful outdoor space, which has been respectfully landscaped to allow you to be totally absorbed into the natural surroundings, allowing us to totally relax. We organised a private chef and a beautician during our stay, and again, the property lends itself well for both experiences. The kitchen is particularly well equipped. I would highly recommend Heilan Roo to anyone looking for a luxurious break, and we will definitely return.

  Helian Roo lived up to all expectations for our week’s stay.

  This is a well thought out forest home with all the amenities ranging from a fully stocked kitchen (utensils) to supplies to get the wood burning hot tub up and running. The hosts were helpful and charming, willing to help where required but to be honest the home just worked itself! The hamper was a lovely touch as was the Birthday ballons and card for two of our party who celebrated another year in comfort with a peaceful relaxing view. Getting to the property was easy and very close to Blair Atholl for the local store or Pitlochry for souvenir hunting. This property is a real gem, if looking to book, do not hesitate. The ambience is well worth it. Thank you Elaine and Roo for hosting us.

  Heilan Roo exceeded our expectations.

  The location, property and small details make for the perfect getaway. It was hard to start the day because you just wanted the morning coffee to continue while you sat and enjoyed the views. The quality of the property is very high. The finishing touches are spot on; you can see how much detail the owners have considered regarding the decor. There is glass everywhere, and endless doors open up fully, which is excellent. But given where the house is positioned, you never feel on show. We'd love to visit each season to experience the change in the landscape that surrounds the property. We've holidayed in the UK for many years, and this house is at the top of the list!
