Just returned from a fabulous holiday staying in Blairinraish West. The cottage was comfortable, clean and warm, which was very much appreciated as the weather didn’t get much above freezing and the week ended with Storm Bert. The view from the cottage is wonderful and the walks from the door are varied and beautiful. A perfect place for a quiet and relaxing holiday and I’m sure we will return!
What a great find

Blairinraish West is in a lovely location with a fantastic view across to the hills in the distance. It seems very peaceful and remote but is only a short drive to the A9 and about 15 minutes from the shops in Pitlochry. Perth is not far away and supermarkets will make deliveries. The cottage is very cosy and very well equipped and maintained, the property renovated two years ago. We found the bed a little hard but otherwise it's the perfect cottage with everything you need. All of the estate staff are very friendly and we were able to change weeks with no fuss when a family situation meant we could not travel for the original dates. Being able to visit Blair Castle and grounds for free was also a real bonus. We have stayed at many places in the area and were really impressed with Blairinraish West and the walks nearby. We are very keen to return. Thanks!
A perfekt cosy retreat

This is a great cottage for two people, nicely furnished and decorated with lovely views. It feels rural, with walks right outside your door, but it is also ideally located for visiting locations such as Dunkeld, Pitlochry and Aberfeldy. We would happily go back.
Absoulutely brilliant . Yvonne and Graham and Hamish! We,re lovely, friendly people

We really enjoyed every minute of our stay at Blairinraish West.
The view, the location, the luxury standard of the house, the friendliness of housekeeper Yvonne & her husband Graeme!
Everything just perfect if you want to be in touch with nature and relax from your everyday busy life...
20 minutes from Pitlochry and Dunkeld where you've got everything you need like restaurants, pubs, supermarket, butcher, etc.
If you book this place, you won't regret!
Top class accommodation

We adored our stay at Blairinraish West. Arriving at the cottage we were astounded by the view and it didn't fail to take our breathe for the remaining days. The cottage is cosy but spacious, something you can't typically say about a cottage! We enjoyed the luxurious bathroom and bedroom which felt more like a modern hotel suite. The cottage had everything we needed - the only thing we think would make it more perfect would be a radio or music system, to listen to music whilst sitting enjoying the view with a coffee each morning at the kitchen window.
Peace and quiet

I LOVED Blairinraish West. It is a tastefully and thoughtfully decorated 18th century cottage high up in Tulliemet. The finishes and fittings are all very high quality. The bed was most comfortable and the bathroom very large, with a wonderful bathtub to soak in. The kitchen was well equipped and with the great view it was where I spent alot of time. The views across the hills of Tulliemet and down the Tay Valley are nothing short of spectacular. Yvonne was so lovely - very welcoming, friendly and helpful. I hope to be able to come back during warmer weather to enjoy the setting and the absolute peace and quiet.
Very comfortable!

We absolutely adored Blairinraish West, the cottage was very clean on arrival and we met Yvonne who made us feel very welcome. The cottage had everything we needed throughout the week, was very comfortable and cosy. We had some great day trips out to Loch Morlich, Balmoral, House of Bruar, Glenshee and Blair Atholl Castle - which was lovely to walk around. We also did the 5/6 mile walk from the Cottage to Loch Broom which was delightful. We will definitely be back and also look at other properties on the Blair Atholl Estate
Beautiful cottage in a spectacular location.

This is a beautiful place to stay, for both ourselves and our dog. Lots of walking on the door step, and many different places to visit in the local area. The cottage was clean, really cosy and comfortable, with excellent facilities. Lovely greeting and very accommodating, we were made to feel very welcome, nothing was too much. Very quiet, and off the beaten track, with the most stunning views. We would have no hesitation in recommending Blairinraish West to friends and family.
Lovely little cottage with gorgeous views, bit expensive for what you get

We booked here for a short honeymoon as we wanted to bring our little dog. The cottage itself is gorgeous, though the access roads to it could do with maintenance, our car is not a low car, but we scraped the bottom numerous times.
There's gorgeous views and you can tell alot of care and attention has gone into the renovation. A well equipped kitchen, lovely big bathroom and bedroom, and a second bathroom downstairs with a washer/dryer. The living room is very cosy and has good WiFi and smart TV, however I found the feather filled sofas very uncomfortable.
Theres plenty of walks around, and it proved a decent base for a few days of exploring the surrounding towns and villages, just being wary of the access roads.
Some reviews mentioned a welcome pack, and I've been to plenty of similar standard cottages before where a small amount of milk for tea and coffee and maybe some biscuits have been left, but there was just a note on the kitchen table about recycling, which is a shame, as being able to make cuppa before going shopping would have been welcome after a long drive.
Great stay

We had a fabulous week at Blairinraish West. It was so clean and cosy with an amazing view. It was everything we hoped for, walks on our doorstep, relaxation but lovely towns and scenery nearby.
The cottage is the best we've ever stayed in. It was well-equipped and spotlessly clean with everything we needed.
The housekeeper was extremely helpful and friendly without being intrusive.
We highly recommend this cottage.
Very relaxing short break

We really enjoyed our stay at Blairinraish West. The cottage is of a high standard, very comfortable, the views are amazing, whatever the weather and it's dog friendly.
The location is so peaceful and the walk to Loch Broom accompanied by the sound of cuckoos and sky larks, bliss.
As ever with Atholl Estates, nothing disappoints, just wish we could have stayed for longer!

Bothy was excellent - we really enjoyed the peace and quiet and beautiful views. Had difficulty booking and paying for the property and had to email for information. However we were warmly greeted by the friendly housekeeper who made our stay extra special and couldn’t do enough to help. Would definitely return. Thank you!
Idyllic setting in beautiful Scottish farmland hills.

Sympathetic restoration of a lovely building, with all mod cons. High end furnishings and decoration. Modern well equipped kitchen and good wi-fi mean normal household activity despite the age of the building. Will probably stay again!
