What our customers say about their holidays

  The location of the house and the gardens were perfect.

  The grounds were well kept and beautiful. The on site house keeper was very helpful. We especially enjoyed the badminton net and actually replaced it. The kids really loved the flying fox. We appreciated the equipment left to play with. The house size and the games room were excellent. We were disappointed with the cleanliness of the property - the kitchens work surfaces were not cleaned properly. There were a lot of cobwebs in property, and the fly wrappers were disgusting. Some of the furnishings were worn and could have easily been patched up: rooms in this house looked tired. None of these things spoiled our holiday; however this is not what you would expect from a luxury property. The cottage we also booked smelt damp which was not acceptable. The other disappointing experience was the information changing about whether we could have 2 dogs. Originally we were told we would could take 2 dogs in the one cottage and at the last minute we were told we would have to pay for the second cottage for the second dog. This led to a lot of confusion. At the very last minute we were then told we could have both dogs in the one cottage. It was a shame this was not communicated properly.

  We stayed this past weekend and the house was freezing cold, no hot water in the main kitchen, a resident bat made itself known on the first night, all the rooms were full of dead insects and some of the party found dead flies in their beds.

  I used a brush and dustpan to remove them and I have to say they could do with being replaced, the brush appeared to have been melted. There were loose tiles on the floor in the main kitchen and the sofa in my room was particularly shabby, looked like a cat had shredded the arms. In the main sitting room the chairs at the poker table were falling to bits and some door handles were secured with only one screw.The kitchen in the west wing has an external door that is very difficult to open and close and the door between the main kitchen and dining room did not close. The steps leading from the pool room to the west wing kitchen had loose edging. The dining chairs in the main kitchen were very wobbly and in need of maintenance. We had young children in our party aged 1, 2,3, 6 and 11 who couldn’t sleep as the temperature in the bedrooms was 16 degrees. Having stayed for a week 8 years ago I was looking forward to returning however was very disappointed that the property was in such a shabby condition. Overall a very disappointing experience.

  Perfect place

  Blairgowrie Manor was the perfect place for a recent family trip to Scotland. 8 adults and 10 children were easily accommodated with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. The real joy, however, was everything that Blairgowrie Manor had to offer. Between authentic Scottish breakfasts, a true Scottish pub (in-house), and plenty of entertainment, there was never a dull moment. The location of Blairgowrie Manor also made it the right choice for our family. You're less than 1 hour from any number of sites and activities. Personally, we ventured out to St. Andrews, Perth, Edinburgh, Balmoral Castle, as well as many of the quaint small towns that make Scotland the country that it is. One of my personal favourites was Dunkeld (which is also where we did some fly fishing--great experience!). At the end of the day, the staff were second to none and accommodated all of our needs. I look forward to the day we can make a return trip!
