"Delightfully quiet and peaceful traditional stone cottage. We had five nights here and were lucky to enjoy great, warm weather, The cottage has electric heating (we didn't need it) and logs for the fireplace (again, not needed during our stay). There's a supermarket a few miles away in Blairgowrie and a nice hotel/restaurant 2 miles away in Meikloeur. This was a great base for exploring forests, waterfalls, lochs and towns & villages around Perth."

"This is a beautiful unique hotel within an old mill. The building and the rooms within have been modernised to a high standard and they have kept some of the original features. The room itself was large with very high ceiling. The bathroom was also very nice and large. The only thing we could even pick up on was the lack of biscuits on the tea tray or hot chocolate sachets. Even at breakfast there is no hot chocolate option. However we would highly recommend the hotel and have no doubt that we will return."
