Since Queen Victoria's 1842 visit, the Perth and Kinross town of Pitlochry, a picturesque Victorian burg, has been a popular tourist destination. The town is in an outdoor recreation hotspot; the nearby Ben Vrackie and Schiehallion mountains are perfect for a day of hiking, and the River Tummel is beautiful, with a scenic dam and boat rental options. In addition to the golf course and Tay Forest Park, visitors to Pitlochry have easy access to the dramatic Cairngorms National Park, where they can go hiking, mountain biking, and more. Numerous shops and restaurants can be found in this festival-filled town. Blair Athol Distillery is just one more reason why this town is perfect for any visitor.

The facilities fitted us very well though a small 2-person comfy seat would be nice. I found that moving the TP-Link wi-fi booster from the plug socket by the television to the plug socket in the bunk-bed room at the back improved the internet connection immensely as it connected better with the main house.

It is well described, well equipped. We stayed for three nights to meet friends and go to the nearby theatre .. which is very convenient. The chairs are not comfortable but heyho we werenât in much and the bed was very comfy. Only caveat for people who struggle on hills .. it is a very steep walk up the hill to the house. Lovely walks from the house .
