So many places lay claim to being the 'Heart of Scotland'. Well Highland Perthshire truly is, geographically and scenically. Gentle glens, capped by cathedral-like peaks that fall away to forested slopes, sparkling clear lochs, rushing rivers, sensational castles and ruins, and famous Scotch whisky distilleries. Not to mention the visitor delights of Pitlochry, Blair Atholl, Kenmore , Killin, Crieff, Aberfeldy, Dunkeld, and of course Perth itself.

'Excellent accommodation, comfy beds and the individuality of the rooms and setting add to the character'
