“Disappointing!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 July 2011

My husband and I were one of four couples who stayed at this guest house for only one evening. I do not speak for the others in the party. The room allocated to us was at the top of the house up a flight of narrow steep stairs. The shabby room was small and poorly funished with a mis-match of bed linen. There was a layer of dust on the skirting board and the en suite 'cupboard' was grubby. There was not only no hot water there was no water at all from the hot tap. The toilet seat was broken and when I mentioned these facts to the proprietor as we left I was informed 'They were alright yesterday'.
I trust if you read this review that you noticed the dark hair I found under the egg at breakfast time and left on the side of my plate?
On the plus side, the residents' lounge appeared to be comfortable although we did not use and there was off road parking.

“A bit of a disappointment.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 July 2011

We booked a 2 night stay at this guest house, but were disappointed with the room. The only room I could book on the internet was a room with a four poster bed, we thought this would be nice as it is difficult for us to get away from work commitments and felt we were booking something special......big mistake !!!!
The room was clean and tidy but dated, the bed was just awful, it was very very creaky, hard and uncomfortable. The towels were not changed for our second night. At £85 per night we felt it was a bit over priced.
On the plus side, the breakfast was very good, freshly cooked and plenty of choice and the couple were very friendly.

“Very warm welcome and excellent accommodation”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 August 2010

My wife and I stayed three nights and found the owners to be very welcoming and helpful. Room was clean and tidy with everything that you'd expect from a four star B&B. Good off street parking, which was a big consideration for us as we had a trailer with motorcycles on. Excellent breakfast with plenty of choice. Lovely Victorian property in the heart of Blairgowrie.

“Can't fault our great stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 August 2009

We stayed at this guest house while in Blairgowrie for a friend's wedding. We booked a family room and paid £75, which I think is a reasonable price for a Friday night in high season. It had a double and a single bed.

The owners let us check in early as we had to be at the venue for 2.00pm.

The grounds and property were well kept and tidy. The room and all areas of the building we saw were very clean.

Breakfast in the morning was excellent and very well cooked. One of the owners chatted with us for a few minutes about the local area and asked if everything was alright for us.

I would not hesitate to return here if we ever find ourselves in Blairgowrie again and really struggle to find anything wrong with our stay.
