Pitlochry, a charming Victorian burg in Perth and Kinross, has been attracting tourists ever since Queen Victoria stopped by in 1842. The town's location between the Ben Vrackie and Schiehallion mountains makes it ideal for hillwalking, and the River Tummel is beautiful, with a scenic dam and boat hire (or you can just watch the action while sipping a hot beverage at the Boating Station Café). Golfers and nature lovers will enjoy the nearby Tay Forest Park and Tay River, while cyclists and hikers will appreciate the proximity of the dramatic Cairngorms National Park. The town is home to a variety of shops and restaurants, and it also hosts festivals throughout the year. There's something for everyone in Blair Athol, what with the distillery and all. With its stunning buildings, abundance of services, and interesting attractions like its museum and art gallery, Perth is a fantastic day trip destination. This is a fantastic region of Scotland with lots of attractions.

A fabulous place with plenty of space for a large family group. Great location too...secluded spot but close to lovely restaurants, shops etc in Pitlochry. Don't miss The Bridge! Some great walks from the door. Black Spout was our favourite. Highly recommended. We don't very often say this but feel sure we will return! Great to have pet free too. Getting harder to find pet free properties these days. Thank you.

The house is spacious and comfortable, and the setting is quiet and secluded. The owners were very helpful with questions we had, e.g., about heating and hot water. The property is well maintained, appliances are new, and the kitchen is well equipped - even the knives were sharp! The house has a separate laundry room with a washer and drier which I think would be useful to mention more in the write up - it's really good to be able to close the door on all that. As we travelled from overseas, the need to bring oven mitts, buy toilet paper, etc. was not that convenient. I would rather pay a little more and have more supplies, like extra towels, provided but I understand that isn't for everyone. The one thing that I would have found helpful (and again this may be personal preference) would be manuals for some of the appliances, e.g., specifics on how to override the hot water setting on the wall unit. We worked out how to use the induction stove, but could not work out how to empty the condenser on the tumble drier (it was the last day so I didn't ask). I know we can all look things like that up online but on vacation I don't really want to look for the model number on the drier etc. These may all be obvious to the modern British family! But this did not mar our enjoyment of the property - it was top notch and I would stay there again.

Up a very steep hill so not suitable for anyone with mobility issues unless you have a car.
