  We had a wonderful fortnight stay at Ralston Bothy.

  The cottage was clean and practical with a lovely kitchen that had such wonderful natural light! The Bothy, garden and orchard were perfect for our old dog, who could roam securely and sleep under the apple trees as she wanted. We topped up the feeders religiously( such a lovely touch to leave bird feed for us to use) and were rewarded with an abundance of birds and a visiting rabbit. Even a kestrel came and made an appearance in the garden, although the house martins weren't happy about it! The hot tub was a sublime luxury. Perfectly positioned so that it was completely private, we used it daily! Located perfectly for a day trip to Dundee to see 'Discovery' and the V&A museum and also to visit the wonderful Glamis Castle and to do the spectacular Snow Roads Scenic Route through Balmoral etc-a very long drive but the most stunning driving route ever and so worth doing. Laura-Jayne was a very considerate host. She completely respected our privacy, which we valued but was quickly contactable if necessary. The only thing wrong was not being able to stay longer! Thank you for a much needed relaxing and nourishing break, Laura-Jayne.

  Can honestly say this is one of the most well thought out properties I have ever stayed in.

  Really lovely pieces of furniture including the dining table and dressing table stools as well.as supremely comfy beds and gorgeous bedding all top notch. Also though so many extras the sewing kit and first aid extras and that was just inside. Outside the fire out and barbeque with wood and firelighters supplied added to the special experience of the place and it's location. We even had a game of try at a game of swingball. The welcome pack was so generous with prosecco and marshmallows just perfect. The only thing which was a slight issue was the noise of the heat pump but wouldn't stop us recommending to friends or booking again if we can find a free slot. Loved it practical and luxury and also soothes the soul. We all need some of that these days. Also close to blairgowrie for grocery shopping and stocking up on essentials. Great location for exploring the local area we did pitlochry and the house of bruar, highland safaris and spirit of wood at aberfeldy, kenmore, birnam wood, the hermitage and dunkeld. So wish we were still there

  A five star rating doesn't really do this holiday cottage justice.

  It's absolutely beautifully presented and was equipped with everything we could want or need like superb EV charging (such a relief) lovely wood burner, high definition telly, great wi-fi, utility room etc etc...). Julia put an incredible amount of thought into making sure we felt welcome and cared for, providing just the right amount of contact. As regards location, the cottage is set in a field with a good view and plenty of grassy space with swallows wheeling and diving between the cottages. There's plenty to do in the area too. We (myself and two older children) had driven up from Oxfordshire so it was a relatively accessible base for visiting the highlands (one afternoon, we made it up to Aviemore and climbed Cairngorm Mountain, for instance) but there are lots of more local attractions. We loved visiting Glamis Castle and going white water rafting on the Tay, both under 30 mins away. All in all, thoroughly recommended.

  Idyllic cottage in an idyllic location to relax or use as a base to explore Scotland.

  Built to an extremely high standard and with the finishing touches of a 5-star hotel, the cottage is in a league of its own. Despite the Scottish weather, I am sure this could be used all year round. It's also very well equipped with thought put into everything, including a handy pair of reading glasses in case you forgot to pack your own! The cottage will comfortably accommodate four adults with a large lounge/dining/kitchen area 2 separate bedrooms, a utility/boot room, and lots of outdoor space including a fire pit. The town of Blairgowrie is less than a 10-minute drive away yet you feel deep in the countryside. There are also many connected paths and walkways to explore. Fully electric with an induction hob, ASHP, underfloor heating, and a log burner it was very cosy and ecologically sound. There is also an EV charger and it's pet friendly. Highly recommended!

  A lovely cosy cottage which is in a great spot, very private.

  The owner was there if needed but not intrusive and very friendly. Loved the garden with all the birds and of course the hot tub which after a walk on a winters day was perfect. The little touches make such a difference and shows thoughtfulness for eg: the flowers, bread, milk etc. It was exceptionally clean and tidy. Nice large bathroom with excellent shower and very hot water. Beautiful log burner which on a winters night was perfect. The only negative and it's not too important is, could do to have a slightly larger T.V. Because we were there in February it was nice to watch T.V in the evening. But probably in summer would be out in the garden or walking. It's handy for lots of surrounding walking, places to visit and Dundee. Would definitely come back!
