Guest Reviews

Second time we have stayed here. Lovely location and the bungalow is very clean and modern with everything you need. Highlights - Shopping and eating out in pitlochry and other nearby towns; visiting Balmoral and Ballater and Atholl Castle.

We had a fantastic time at Schiehallion Cottage. Great weather, great wee cottage! Favorite thing - Sitting on the new bench in the sun looking over the mountains.

This was a fantastic stay right in the heart of the town of Pitlochry. Shops and some fantastic restaurants are right around the corner making it so easy to get around on foot. We used Pitlochry as a base to access more of the highlands and it worked well.
