Guest Reviews

We loved the location of Ruggles Cottage, being able to go for walks straight from the door. The area is very beautiful and peaceful. We loved the garden and the sound of the stream beside it. great base for exploring the area. The weather was such that we could spend a few evenings in the garden watching the swallows and house martins darting about and feeding a couple of their young that had not fledged yet. The resident deer in the field were lovely to view from a distance too.

Definitely a great home from home and fantastic basecamp to exploring Pitlochry and Perthshire. The house was impeccable and the amenities were beyond exceptional. The garden now has decking and outdoor covered eating area (not shown on the pictures) and this was a great addition to an already great place. The welcome basket was very much enjoyed after a long drive up! Thank you so much for having us! The dogs already miss the great cut through to the woods and my Mother already misses the spectacular bird station that kept her happily occupied with the binoculars ?
