We had a fabulous time at Stalker's Lodge this weekend for my birthday. Lucy the owner was so helpful and accommodating, and she replied quickly to my messages on the App.
The holiday houses (Stalker's Lodge and Keepers Cottage) are situated on a large estate about 9 miles from the centre of Pitlochry. The drive over the moor was brilliant with great scenery. What a retreat!
The Lodge had everything we needed for a relaxing break, including: comfy beds; tasteful decor (we loved the blinds with the wildlife); spacious rooms; a storage area for walking boots and jackets; great bathrooms with two excellent showers; and a living room with board games and books for children and adults to enjoy. There is also a large dining table. The kitchen was very well equipped with loads of pots, pans, utensils, glasses, cutlery and even some herbs and tea. We especially enjoyed cooking on the induction hob on the kitchen island. Thank you for the welcoming gift of the gin tasters - such a nice surprise! The lounge with the stove was so warm and cosy and we loved watching the birds from the picture windows.
It was especially great to walk around and explore the estate, including the Loch, walled garden, forest and hill with the unusual witches' stone. The suggested walks are a great idea. Being able to wander around the estate at our leisure was fab. The break was just what we needed, away from the hustle and bustle of Edinburgh.
Thank you Lucy for our wonderful stay. We were sad to go home and would love to come back again in the summer time!
If anyone is thinking of booking one of these lovely holiday houses, do it - we cannot recommend it highly enough!
