Guest Reviews

Following a previous visit to Lettoch Cottages, we returned after Covid and life threw some curve balls at our holiday plans. Despite the 7 year absence, Steve & Kirsty welcomed us back to The Cow Shed with their usual warm hospitality. Little touches like checking in with us as they were not going to be home when we initially arrived, to ensuring we were able to still function when Storm Amy popped in were much appreciated. The views are just spectacular whatever the weather and certainly nourish the soul. The Cow Shed is well equipped, comfortable, warm and spacious and the added attraction of the squirrels, birds and deer are a welcome bonus.

A lovely place right by the loch and amazing walks - and just 5 minutes walk into town. Perfect for a couple or with kids. Also, great WiFi and fine for remote working Couldn’t ask for more!

This is the most relaxing week we have had in a long time and simply sitting on the decking enjoying the views and the wildlife was a joy. Visits from the buzzards, deer and the little red squirrel only enhanced the enjoyment. We have to admit we were a little concerned regarding how we might be received by the local residents of Pitlochry and Blair Atholl, but the usual warm welcome awaited us. As ever the many cafes and restaurants were busy but well organised in terms of social distancing etc., and again the quality of service was superb.
