Endroit cosy à Pitlochry

Un endroit agréable, avec petits salons et cuisine à partager. Tout est là pour passer un doux moment. La chambre est simple mais il y a avait tout ce dont on avait besoin. Je recommande cet endroit et j'y retournerai avec plaisir. Je n'oublierai pas la vue de la salle à manger... Magnifique !

Très agréable nuitée

Excellent accueil, chambre confortable, 2 salons de détente, cuisine complète avec grand frigo,. excellent rapport qualité prix le seul petit bémol : le parking est vraiment petit et pas très pratique pour une grosse voiture ; heureusement j'avais une voiture moyenne.La ville est très agréable à visiter. C'est une bonne étape entre Edimbourg et Inverness.
