Built over 150 years ago and totally renovated 17 years ago the cottage now offers a comfortable,modernised home from home for up to 6 guests with all amenities to ensure a comfortable and peaceful home from home.

They also own the Grandtully Hotel a short drive away in the village of Grandtully, a lively bistro with both inside and outside eating and here you will also find the Inn on the Tay, the Highland Chocolatier and lovely coffee shop serving light meals.

Ivy Cottage is beautiful inside and out. The bedrooms and kitchen were spacious, as were the bathrooms. It was very handy to have a washer and dryer. The kitchen area was well equipped with cooking utensils.The views were stunning! There were cute little chaffinches that kept flying around the window. It was wonderful to hear them singing in the bushes.The location for the cottage was perfect as a base for exploring the areas around Pitlochry, Stirling, Loch Lomand, Inverness and Fort William. Aberfeldy is nearby, and has a grocery and several nice shops. Margaret responded quickly to any enquiries. She also had a booklet that contained pictures and information about the cottage's history, important contact numbers, and other useful information. We would definitely recommend staying here.

This cottage was the cutest, most comfortable place we stayed! We felt truly at home, as the place was stocked with whatever we needed. The rooms were decorated nicely and the towels were top notch! The rural setting was lovely and we enjoyed the sheep, the pheasants and the rolling hills. Highly recommend.

This house is an absolute gem and I will definitely book again, when in the area. If you are considering this house, don’t hesitate you will enjoy the quiet location, off street parking, and the views.The house itself is decorated nicely, the underfloor heating is fabulous, the large kitchen is very well stocked and we enjoyed sitting at the farmhouse table, watching the wildlife outside the patio doors. The snug was very useful for my Mum, who can no longer manage stairs (large living room upstairs ) and she enjoyed her bedroom and en suite on the ground floor. All the beds were very comfortable and again, decorated simply but nicely. Thank you for the hair dryers in every room!It’s a short drive to Pitlochry and many other local sites. Approx 2 miles away is the village of Grandtully, where we had a lovely dinner at the Grandtully Hotel by Ballintaggart. We also visited the Highland Chocolatier for a morning treat of hot chocolates etc.Overall, one of my top five stays and I’ve stayed in many rental properties over the years. it just felt like home.Thank you to Margaret (owner) for her detailed communication prior to our stay.
