W, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We loved Pitlochry and McKay's and the spaciousness of the cottage. I will say it was very loud at night with people going by and cars and house is very loud when anyone moves around. Ear plugs definitely needed for a good night's sleep.

Margaret, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The accommodations were great, however there was a lot of noise from the street and the windows didn’t seal properly. Not a big issue, but could be better. Staff and food in the restaurant was excellent. I would definitely stay here again if I was in the area.
