Guests say
Mullingar is a well-received cottage in Pitlochry, praised for its comfort, spaciousness, and peaceful setting. Guests appreciate its proximity to local amenities and the helpfulness of the owners. While some minor issues are noted, the overall sentiment is positive, with many guests expressing a desire to return.
Most guests found Mullingar clean and welcoming, though one review mentioned the property was not clean upon arrival, requiring them to clean themselves. This seems to be an isolated incident, as other reviews do not report cleanliness issues.
The location is frequently highlighted as a positive feature, with its peaceful setting and proximity to Pitlochry's centre. The scenic views and accessibility to local attractions contribute to its high rating.
Guests consistently mention the comfort of the property, noting the spaciousness and quality of the beds and sofas. However, some guests found the mattresses in certain rooms less comfortable, slightly affecting the score.
The property is well-equipped with new appliances and a separate laundry room. Some guests experienced issues with internet reliability and appliance manuals, but overall, the facilities meet guests' needs.
There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the hosts in the reviews, so it is not possible to assess this category. Therefore, the score is set to null.

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.

Well kitted out kitchen and bathrooms. Very spacious rooms which gave everyone their own space if needed. Ample seating outside, as well as dining and living areas. We all had a super stay and since our grandsons gave Mullingar a well deserved thumbs up, we hope to return.
