It was our favorite place to visit - just enough to see and do and a truly wonderful room to come to
Pros:

The room was large with a kitchen and a sunny dining table in a curved corner with a fabulous view. Hilary, the host, was lovely and friendly.

Cons:

The hotel was in Birnam and most of the sights were in Dunkeld. It was about a 10-15 minute walk but we found a lovely woodland path between.

Tucked out the way where all you hear is the sounds of the birds as you arrive, made to feel welcome from the moment I arrived, will definitely consider going back
