Guest Reviews

Hi Bea, the Stables was our third booking with HFHP, and like the others, did not disappoint. It’s a fantastic bolthole for 2, with lots of lovely touches. We particularly appreciated the views, the generous seating options and the lighting, plus the two full bathrooms, I don’t think we’ve stayed anywhere for 2 so well thought out. Also, the kitchen was well equipped, and cottage was immaculately clean.

We contacted Bea at Home from Home Perthshire to book our third family visit (6 adults) for our annual golfing holiday at Ruggles Cottage on the Dunira Estate Comrie. The Cottage is superbly furnished - the kitchen is wonderfully equipped. There are two summer houses in the garden, barbecue area and a babbling brook running by. The wildlife is plentiful - deer, red squirrels and red kites. Parking facilities are available. It is close to Crieff and Loch Earn together with Comrie and St Fillans Golf clubs. We can strongly recommend Ruggles Cottage. From the Denton Family
