I definitely want to come back
Pros:

Such a wee gem! I booked the studio and it was exactly as described. I found it impeccably clean, quiet, spacious and comfortable. I contacted the property ahead of arrival and mentioned my mobility issues and Hilary was so very helpful. Much appreciated as a solo traveller too. Thank you!

Something a little different in a lovely converted building.
Pros:

My room was called 'The Wee Room' which described it perfectly. Really cute, plenty of space with ensuite facilities cleverly included. Cosy, comfy bed, very colourful decor.

Cons:

Walls very thin. Noisy neighbours dont help. Wish people would think about other guests when staying in hotels.

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.
