We cannot say enough good things about The Firs, Blair Atholl. Pauline and Lindsay are great hosts, and go out of their way to make sure you have an enjoyable stay. It is a beautiful large house in the center of Blair Atholl, and they have plenty of onsite parkings. The rooms are cozy and well appointed, comfortable, and of course clean. The Firs is just a few minutes walk to Blair Castle and Gardens. We were able to attend the Highlander Games and Parade. There are several eating establishments just a few blocks away, and the River Tilt. We only drove our car one day out of the 5 days were their. Just enjoy yourselves with a restful stay here. Pauline and Lindsay make a great breakfast with lost of variety to start the day with. They are also know everything about the area and are just a joy to sit and chat with. Looking forward to making this a regular visit for my wife and I.

Wonderful bed and breakfast stay in the scottish countryside. Nice and quiet, with good places to eat within walking distance, very close to an excellent hike at Glen Tilt. Quick drive to pitlochry and central to several areas in scotland. The hosts are outstanding!! I cant say enough. They really added to the experience of our trip. Lindsey took the best care of us, and gave us outstanding advice on our activities each day. Breakfast was excellent and cooked to order each morning. Typical b&b rooms, very clean, bed was comfortable, which is always a big deal to us.

Cosy cottage not far away from Pitlochry. The host Lindsay was a sweet and well spoken gentleman, so kind and with a great wealth of knowledge. Our room was looking over the pretty front garden: it was cosy, clean and warm, kind of chic country style. The breakfast was pleasant and served hot. We will miss not being able to ask Lindsay for suggestions on our outs and abouts. See ya next time!
