“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.

“Comfortable, spacious accommodation”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 July 2008

No complaints at all. We stayed for 2 nights very comfortably. The room was quiet and spacious, looking out onto the leafy back garden, and the Ivybank's location is easy walking distance from the town centre, including the riverside walk alongside the River Ericht. Large and tasty breakfasts set us up for our days out exploring this attractive part of world.

“Poor Attitude and Service”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 September 2007
4
people found this review helpful

Attitude and service of owners was extremely disappointing. Rooms are adequate but overpriced. Food was fine but nothing special. Owners nickle and dime customers with lots of hidden fees (extra charges for paying by credit card, extra charges for children, etc).

Overall, the owners bad attitude towards their guests left a bad taste in our mouths and we would never stay there again or recommend it to anyone else. We stayed at many other B&B's in Scotland, and this was our only bad experience.

CJD23743777, Owner at Ivybank Guest House, responded to this review
26 April 2012
This Guest booked a room via the internet and on arrival was shown to this room, after thirty minutes the guest said that he felt claustrophobic in the room. The room measures 13x12 feet (3.7m x 4m) and has two windows, he was however upgraded to a larger room at no extra cost, we then had to change the bedding and clean two rooms. When the guest was leaving they were asked, as all our guest are if every thing had been satisfactory and the stated that it had.
Our web site states that we make a charge for using credit cards, there is also a notice to this effect in our porch, because the guest said that he had not seen this on our web site he was not charged even though he said he had seen the one in the porch.
I don't believe we could have treated this guest any better or fairer.
