Good Morning Bea, just to let you know we had another wonderful 2 weeks at Roneval, plenty of walks from the door and further afield, such a super home from home. Lovely and quiet house, but easy walk into Pitlochry. Plenty of cafes and restaurants, can recommend the Golf Club, Escape Route Cafe (lovely Cullen Skink with a huge sandwich) & the Coffee Break (all very dog friendly), lovely view from the Boat House Cafe overlooking Loch Faskally {dogs outside only).

Hi Bea, Thank you very much for your email. We loved our stay in Pitlochry. By the Brae was beautiful, clean and of a very high standard! It was perfectly placed in a quiet location with easy access to town and walks. We would definitely recommend Home from Home Perthshire and I'm so pleased we stumbled across you online in our searches! Kathryn
