Beautiful autumn colors, special farm with colorful history with the bridge there. Joe, owner and host, was very special. He helped us on the difficult roads (visit was just after the recent bad weather) and his passion for Pitlochry was special. The history, the trees (which were in beautiful colors), and then for me the special bridge over the farm river. Incredible for a busy farmer to be able to do this there in 1958/59. Very special place, also the old homestead. We had a great time with all the fireplaces everywhere in the White House and wonderful help in the kitchen. Beautiful part of our country, just the right place to exploit it from. With Joe's stories and history of Pitlochry absolutely precious. Please visit there!

Pragtige herfskeure, spesiale plaas met kleurvolle geskiedenis met die brug daar. Joe, eienaar en gasheer, was baie besonders. Hy het ons op die moeilike paaie gehelp (besoek was net na die afgelope gure weer) en sy passie vir Pitlochry was spesiaal. Die geskiedenis, die bome (wat in pragtige kleure was), en dan vir my die spesiale brug oor die plaasrivier. Ongelooflik vir 'n besige boer om dit te kon doen daar in 1958/59. Baie spesiale plek, ook die ou opstal. Ons het heerlik gekuier met al die kaggels oral in die White House en wonderlike hulp in die kombuis. Pragtige deel van ons land, net die regte plek om dit van te ontgin. Met Joe se stories en geskiedenis van Pitlochry absoluut kosbaar. Gaan kuier gerus daar!

Exceptional. A rare opportunity to get away! The environment is fantastic, the host cares, gives good advice. It was an all-around special stay.

Uitsonderlik. Wegbreekkans soos min! Die omgewing is fantasties, die gasheer gee om, gee goeie raad. Dit was rondom 'n besondere verblyf.

An unforgettable stay at a true gem! From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and at ease. The hosts were incredibly warm and attentive, ensuring that we had everything we needed for a relaxing escape. This farmhouse is an absolute treasure—a beautiful, character-filled home with a profound sense of calm and history. The indoor and outdoor spaces are expansive, offering plenty of room to unwind and soak in the surroundings. Whether we were enjoying the quiet indoors or taking in the breathtaking landscape outside, there was always a sense of peace and inspiration. The scenery around the property is truly awe-inspiring—perfect for reconnecting with nature and finding moments of stillness. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to relax and recharge. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a tranquil getaway!

Picturesque nature. The detached houses are quiet and secluded on a working farm. Peaceful atmosphere and fireplaces in the master bedroom, living room, kitchen and living room. Joe is very hospitable and has great suggestions of what to do in the area. Surroundings are beautiful.

Beeldskone natuur. Die afgesonderde huise is stil en afgeleë op werkende plaas. Rustige atmosfeer en kaggels in die hoofslaapkamer, sitkamer, kombuis en leefvertrek. Joe is baie gasvry en het goeie voorstelle van wat om te doen in die area. Omliggende omgewing is pragtig.

Beautiful area with great fishing. The cottage is great in terms of maintenance, cleanliness and comfort. The kitchen is well equipped and the beds are warm and comfortable but what really makes it great is the view and the fishing. Great for trout fisherman and their better halves. Also great for photographers. When the moon is dark it feels like you can hit the stars with a stick.
