Muir Iosal, Nether Kirkton Steadings, Blairgowrie, Perth and Kinross, PH2 6EG

We have been staying in Ailene?s cottages for many years now around Christmas time.

You COULD NOT wish for a more AMAZING host, site and pair of cottages.

Hopefully we will be back one day when funds allow xxx

Lon Cottage & Muir Iosal Cottage - both cottages are the same layout. The cottages are excellent. Ground floor open plan kitchen/lounge/dining room. A large double bedroom with en suite. 2 further double ensuite bedrooms upstairs.

Parking space along side. Enclosed garden makes this pet friendly (dogs welcomed - there was poop bags & biscuit left out for us on arrival)

The cottage has all the amenities. We arrived to a lovely welcome package - milk, tea/coffee, cake, sweets & prosecco.

There is a children's play area & the owners farm next door has lovely paddocks filled with animals - alpacas, goats, donkeys, sheep, meerkats, ducks, geese, chickens & more.

There is a small nature reserve up the road - 2 mins walk. A ruined kirk. A walking route down to the River Tay. And 5 minute drive to Clunie Loch - for swimming, paddle board, kayak etc.

Further afield - Blairgowrie is 5 miles away & Dunkeld 6 miles.

This is a lovely home from home with loads to do & see in the surrounding areas. The owner couldn't have been more helpful & welcoming.

We rented both cottages for a week for our friends and family in February to celebrate my 60th birthday.

We found the cottages to be exceptionally well appointed, warm and very clean. Having an en-suite per room too was fantastic for our guests.

The welcome hamper pack, milk and some bubbly was a lovely surprise.

Both cottages were equipped with everything we needed for our week.

Access to meet the Rare Breeds on the farm was one of our highlights adults teenagers and children all adored the alpacas and the baby pygmy goats!! Plus dont forget Hettie!

Ailene and Stewart made us all feel very welcome and made sure we had all we required. Also recommended local restaurants are the Meiklour Arms ...we had a super lunch..and the restaurant Uisge where we had dinner one night.

All in all a memorable week for us all and we will be back!!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND...

Ailene

The owner cannot do enough to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as you would like.

This is our second visit to their property won?t be the last

The place is spotless and everything we needed was there.

The bedrooms Bathrooms are very large. Comfortable beds

We found it a great base for touring getting to tourist sites.

Would recommend a visit Dukeld RSPB to see Beavers.

Beautiful comfortable cottage, with lots of space and plenty of amenities. Perfectly located for exploring the south of Cairngorms. We have spent a lovely week walking in various locations and it was lovely to come back to such a comfortable cottage. The welcome pack on arrival and a bottle of bubbly, as one of our party, was celebrating their birthday, was a lovely touch as were the fresh eggs and milk. I would definitely recommend a visit to this cottage and would return again!

We have just completed a week's stay in Muir Iosal cottage, 4 miles outside Blairgowrie and Rattray and cannot recommend this cottage enough.

Spotlessly clean, spacious and very comfortable and well-stocked with every item you could possibly need on a self-catering holiday, also a compendium of games and playing cards and bookshelves full of reading for all ages. There are three, good-sized, double bedrooms here, all en-suite (great showers, downstairs bath) and televisions in each room. The largest is easily a family-room with an extra bed in it. Before you

We (3 adults, 3 kids + 3 dogs) booked Lon Cottage (one of the three cottages that makes the Muir Iosal courtyard) for my sisters 40th birthday. We chose it over others as the accommodation was based over 3 rooms instead of a lot of others that were only 2. Also it has hard flooring which we always look for when travelling with the dogs so that we don't have to worry about muddy paws!

Despite having excellent directions to get to the cottage we still managed to get a bit lost in the country lanes but our host Ailene was more than helpful and we eventually

From the moment we arrived, until the time of our departure, we were delighted with the property.

We were welcomed by the owner, who gave us a quick tour and explained all we needed to know. The welcome pack was a thoughtful touch and much appreciated.

The cottage is well appointed, roomy and everywhere was spotlessly clean.

Blairgowrie and Dunkeld are easily reached as is the A9 for travelling further afield.
