GIRLS WEEKEND AWAY
We have just returned from a lovely two night stay in Dunkeld. There was five adults staying at the property and it was so warm, clean and inviting. We stayed very warm (given the outside temperatures down to 2 degrees) around the wood fire and the multiple panel heaters kept the entire house warm.
The interior of the property was styled very nicely and the amenities were all modern and easy to use. The beds were all very comfortable and we appreciated that good linen was provided! Would definitely recommend staying at the property.
Communication with the hosts was easy and timely, they were a pleasure to engage with.
