From the beginning it was clear this had to be an special place. Lena and Colin where extremely helpful from the first mails we wrote, asking us about our preferences for the room. We had a warm welcome by Lena and she was instantly providing lots of valuable information, regarding public transport -we were travelling in Scotland without a private car-, walks around the village, etc. The house is wonderful, with an excellent fully equipped lounge, and a fantastic dining room with nice views to the house garden and to them well feeded birds. Our room was at first floor, with tasteful decoration, a marvellous kingsize bed, and a perfect bathroom with an outside window -a rarity in our travel-. Breakfast was probably the better we have had in two and a half weeks in Scotland. I cannot resist to recommend the homemade whisky and orange marmelade that Lena herself does, but haggis and black pudding are other options to seriously consider. Finally, Colin drop us -and our heavy baggages- at the train station, providing us some more details about this extraordinary land and his people. A must in Atholl Estates.
