See what one of last year's guests thought.....

"Our stay was wonderful! From the moment we pulled up with the welcome of bagpipes and drum playing 'We Wish You a Merry Christmas' to singing carols and enjoying the charm of Pitlochry, it truly was a lovely holiday away! It was the ultimate in comfort and service. Johanna and her staff were very helpful and attentive. The Christmas package was generous and all the details appreciated. Our favorite activity was the falconry exhibit on Boxing Day. We're so grateful to have had such a nice Christmas away from home."
