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.
