“Friendly, fab food - fantastic!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 October 2011

Despite it being their first week, Brenda and Dot coped amazingly well when my family descended upon them. No small feat! They were extremely welcoming and friendly and would always be ready to help out with any request. I was wide awake at 5am attempting to write a speech for my wedding when Dot discovered me in the lounge. She responded to this crisis by making me coffee and providing biscuits. Such lovely gestures come naturally to them. The rooms are well-furnished and comfortable and include such delights as Tunnock's caramel bars. There is a fantastic breakfast menu and my cooked breakfast was superb. The guesthouse's central location allows for easy access to the nearby attractions. Staying here was such a pleasant experience and we will be definitely returning in the future.

“A lovely little place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 September 2011

This friendly, family run guest house in an attractive stone terrace affords very clean and comfortable accommodation. The location is central in Birnam, allowing very easy access to the tourist attractions. The well-furnished rooms are cosy, the service is friendly but professional, and the menu for their cooked breakfast was excellent. There are some pleasant personal touches thoughout: Tunnock's caramel bars in the bedrooms and home made scones and jam at the breakfast table are just two examples. At £60 for a double or twin room it is also good value for money - I would recommend it.

“Lovely host, comfortable room, tasty breakfast”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 August 2011

This B&B had everything I was looking for - warm reception from Shannon (including a glass of sherry), comfortable bedroom, and a very tasty breakfast (I recommend the scrambled eggs with smoked salmon). Location is great for access to a number of sights (Birnam Oak, Beatrix Potter Gardens) and Birnam is a cute little town. There is a communal living room available (which we didn't use).

“Superb breakfasts”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 August 2011

person found this review helpful

We only stayed at Waterbury for one night, which was a shame because it was lovely and we could happily have spent more time in Birnam and Dunkeld. Shannon was a lovely host, the room was very comfortable, great shower and the B&B has a lovely communal lounge. Fantastic choice of home cooked breakfasts and the food is delicious and lovingly prepared. Highly recommended!

“Comfortable and welcoming”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 August 2011

Having made an error in booking a room for the previous night (our fault!) Shannon called us and sorted everything out before our arrival. Upon arrival we were offered sherry and whiskey, a really nice touch. The rooms were homely, clean and very comfortable. The honesty bar was a unique touch, and welcomed whilst waiting for the Missus to get ready! The full Scottish breakfast was as good as I've had anywhere, not too greasy with locally sourced sausages and black pudding. Perhaps a little expensive per night, but you get what you pay for and we can have no complaints.
If I was ever in the area again I'd be disappointed not to get a room at the Waterbury.
