We found a place where we could get together as a family (from London, Maastricht & Quedlinburg) and really unwind after busy weeks at work. We thoroughly enjoyed spending our holidays in these wonderful surroundings. The holiday cottage had everything we needed – both in terms of location and facilities. There was plenty of space for us to get together, yet everyone had their own space to retreat to. The furnishings were comfortable, practical and full of character. The view from the kitchen was the highlight for us. Sometimes it was enough simply to watch the changing weather and the animals from the kitchen. the only minor drawback was the bathroom situation. We could see that, to improve guests’ comfort, a shower facility had been added at a later date. However, we almost felt guilty about washing our hair, as the bathroom wasn’t structurally designed to allow the shower water to run off. The bathroom door also jammed on several occasions, meaning family members had to be ‘rescued’ from the bathroom. But this didn’t really spoil our wonderful holiday. We were able to set off on both short and long walks straight from the door. We explored the Tay Valley by car, as well as taking trips to the Glencoe and Cairngorms National Parks. Edinburgh, Glasgow, Stirling and Inverness were all easily accessible by train and car. We quickly felt ‘at home’ and would, of course, have loved to stay longer. We’ll have to come back, in the hope that it won’t be so long that the apple tree obstructs the view by then. We would have loved to enjoy the ‘Blairinraish East’ cottage for a few days longer and there was still so much we would have liked to explore.

We had the most wonderful time staying at this beautiful cottage. My husband , dog Nellie and I booked East, while my daughter and son in law booked West , the cottage next door. Both cottages ( we were in and out of each other’s) are thoughtfully decorated and have a warm and cosy feel to them. The kitchen is well equipped and spotless, as are the bathrooms. The bed was very comfortable too. The location is both spectacular and peaceful, with views across the valley . It snowed while we were there making our stay even more special. There are walks around the cottages and it was a treat to see the local wildlife . My son in law , a professional photographer, was able to capture some amazing photos of the stars and Jupiter and its moons due to lack of light pollution in the area. We visited Pitlochry ( New Year’s Day) and Dunkeld (Tay Bank Hotel) and of course the famous House of Bruar. Tweed and tartan rugs were bought ! We had an absolutely wonderful time and I can’t wait to return !

The cottage itself is delightful and the decoration is beautiful. Very welcoming when we arrived as the lights were on and it was super cosy which made it very easy to relax. It has a second small bathroom downstairs with a sink and toilet in it which is handy as the stairs are at quite a steep angle so means you don't need to go upstairs every time you need the toilet. The views are amazing and they changed on a daily basis depending on the weather. It really is very peaceful and relaxing. The only thing to note if you are thinking of staying here is the road up to the cottage. You definitely need a suitable car to navigate the road as it is not in great condition, it took us 8min to drive the road at a very slow and steady pace.

All the comforts of home and against a beautifully restored background of a cozy cottage at the end of a one-track-road. Well equipped kitchen and audio visual gear.
