Guest Reviews

We are loving our stay in your cottage. It is fantastic, in such a beautiful setting and so cosy at night. It`s great being so close to so many lovely places to go exploring. We hope to come again we love it so much! Thanks again

Just to say we thoroughly enjoyed our fortnight in Roneval, much better now that a gate and fencing have been applied to the garden, making it really dog friendly. So much so that we have now booked for 2022. Plenty of lovely walks from the door, down to Loch Faskally and around Pitlochry, or walk to further to Loch Dunmore or up to Cuilc Brae then on to Moulin or Craigower, or if really active up to Ben Vrackie. In the other direction, through the woods to Pitlochry and the Salmon Dam, then on to Black Spout Wood. Think we only used the car a couple of times. A really good stocked co-op, very handy and a lovely Butchers. Plenty of cafes to choose from and the very dog friendly Pitlochry Golf Club. Such a lovely comfortable warm house, very relaxing looking over the hills, everything we needed was available. Fresh eggs from the house up the hill, what more could you want. With Kind Regards, Judith & Mike , not forgetting Zoe Greyhound
