Brief two days in this very comfy house in an excellent location. Amazing walks, fantastic weather we enjoyed an evening at Pitlochry Festival Theatre- well worth a visit. Edinburgh walking girls.

We loved the location of Ruggles Cottage, being able to go for walks straight from the door. The area is very beautiful and peaceful. We loved the garden and the sound of the stream beside it. great base for exploring the area. The weather was such that we could spend a few evenings in the garden watching the swallows and house martins darting about and feeding a couple of their young that had not fledged yet. The resident deer in the field were lovely to view from a distance too.

We enjoyed our stay in the newly renovated space in the center of town. Lots of room for our family of 4 with all the amenities we needed. Might have even looked better in real life than the pictures. Great home base to explore Pitlochry, hiking, and local sights.
