Excellent holiday venue.

Petrasancta Glasgow
Review Submitted: July 11, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
It is a lovely cottage and very handy for excellent foodshops and really well-marked walking paths tjrough wonderful countryside. The house is very clean and comfortable and our elderly relative who was with us found it all very easy to negotiate with her zimmer. I would highly recommend it.
Owner's Response: I'm particularly pleased that our guest's elderly relative was comfortable. In previous weeks we have had families with very young children who were also very happy with the accommodation so this really is a a property to appeal to all.

Review Submitted: October 25, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
Comeing from the south of Germany, Blairgowrie is in two sharp car drives (break in Oxford, backward in Canterbury) reachable. It is far enough in the north and very centered to visit all important siteseeing places by car (Dundee, Perth 20 min; Glasgow, Aberdeen, Edinbourgh, Whiskey trail 60-90min). Ben Nevis / Loch ness / Iverness is a little more distant, still we found a perfect fitting modus doing one day drive, one day break.
Blairgowrie has a very good fresh fish shop, butchers, farmer shops even Tesco and some nice clothing shops. If this is not enough Perth is nearby and has all you need on a rainy day. We enjoyed the mild weather breakfasting outside on the large patio. Being in the eastern part of Scottland we had no day of continuous rain although one low preasure follwed the other (permanent rain seems in the West of Scottland). Very nice hiking trails with deers if you drive north-east near Balmoral Castle (45 min).
Our cottage was very clean with new (or almost new) accomodation. All living rooms large, still warm.
We loved to stay there and I recommend it to all my friends.
Owner's Response: As this reviewer and family found, Blairgowrie has lots to offer the holidaymaker and is extremely well placed for touring all of Scotland. We continue to work hard to present comfortable, clean accommodation.

Our stay was very pleasant. The house is fully equipped with great taste and care much every detail, from simple bouquets of wildflowers to a bottle of milk. The house is very quiet and the population as well. Certainly it is highly recommended

Excellent holiday base.

Kath & Bill Churchdown, Glos, UK
Review Submitted: May 25, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
Have just returned from a week in Wyncroft and agree with all the positive comments in other reviews. Property is very comfy and so well equipped the only extra we needed to take was a hair dryer!
We really liked Blairgowrie and it is ideally suited for exploring the area. Dunkeld, Aberfeldy, Pitlochry (Ben Vrackie - so glad we made it to the top), Perth, Glamis, Kirriemuir are easily reached by car. We took train from Dunkeld to visit Aviemore (journey time: 73mins) and reached top of Cairn Gorm by bus and funicular.
Good to know we would be cosy on return and would definitely recommend Wyncroft to friends.

Review Submitted: January 6, 2009 Date of Stay: December 2008
My family and I recently enjoyed a new year break in this beautiful property in Blairgowrie. A really characteristic little cottage which is like a tardis inside. The rooms are large but still very cosy - it truly is a lovely venue for a family breakaway. The surrounding village is as unique and lovely as the accomodation with great little scenic walks just five minutes from your doorstep. The river that runs through Blairgowrie is stunning and for those of you with children, the nearby Davie Recreational Facility will keep them amused for a while. We are so glad that we found this property in Blairgowrie and are planning to return in the near future.
