A lovely, cozy holiday lodge in a stunning location. The lounge window is like a panoramic picture frame of the hills above Pitlochry. If you want peace and quiet, this is the place. The town is only 5 minutes down the track and we were able to get supermarket deliveries and take aways delivered to the lodge. Our chocolate labrador thoroughly enjoyed himself and reliable wifi kept our daughter happy. Will definitely be back.

Lovely quiet location with view towards Pitlochry and the mountains. Pleasant sitting room and conservatory. Spacious bedrooms clean, crisp bed linen, but beds tending towards being saggy.Towels clean but small for adults. Shower fine but very small compartment for big people.Lovely garden and orchard.Down sides...astonisjingly no microwave and main oven in double oven overheating(faulty thermostat)so food seriously burning...top oven small.All drinking water from bottles (which are provided) tap water had to be boiled except for showering. Somewhat inconvenient and we were not forewarned. Heating on a timer...bit of a mystery?Tv adequate. Walks only down the roads and we found one nearby down to the river.Plenty of cafes and a Co-op down in Pitlochry but also a haven for tourists.Water situation, cooking problems, and uncomfortable beds is the reason I gave 3 stars.
