Guest Reviews

Beautiful family house in a perfect location ideal for a family holiday. The enclosed garden was great for our dog and the access from opposite the front of the house down to the waters edge. The second TV room upstairs was fantastic for our adult children to get some separate downtime. Also the study was handy for my husband to complete the jigsaws provided.! Ideal for visiting Pitlochry, Aberfeldy and Kenmore. Climbing Ben Vrackie was the highlight and visiting the Pitlochry Festival Theatre .

We enjoyed our stay very much, as usual! (third time) and left very favorable feedback in the visitors book. The accommodation is lovely and everything has been thought of to make it a very special stay for lucky guests. Every time something has been added – notably this time a heated towel rail in the bathroom which we had found rather cool on previous visits. I appreciated the piano music and had a go! We had some fantastic walks , our favorite was from Garry bridge to Pitlochry and this time we walked back instead of taking the bus! Steve and Kirsty are marvelous hosts and we hope to visit again before too long.

A wonderful stay. Dealing with Home from Home has been so easy. We had to postpone our visit from last year but it was never a problem. Bea and her team have kept us informed and are very helpful Thank you
