Willows Cottage

The cottage had its own garden, a well equipped kitchen, a comfy lounge, a small bathroom with a large shower, and a huge bedroom with a wonderfully comfortable bed. There was plenty of storage too, and tasty treats had been left in the kitchen. Everything was clean and comfortable, with peaceful surroundings. We spent three nights at the Willows cottage in Pitlochry and were impressed from the moment Murray welcomed us. He was a lovely host. The main B n B house is gorgeous, and the cottage behind it was fab. The Willows sits at the top end of Atholl Road, close to the cafes, restaurants and bars. It’s also well placed for the Fish Ladder, Blair Athol distillery and walking routes starting by the river Tummel. It made for a comfortable, relaxing break, and we’d happily recommend it. We’re already planning to return next year. Thanks, Murray and Deborah, see you in 2026!

We liked Murray and Deborah right away. They were so kind and welcoming, and really helpful during our stay. The house and grounds are clearly well cared for: the rooms were incredibly clean, and the gardens immaculate, with thought given to local fauna and sustainability. Our room was spacious, the location ideal, breakfast tasty, and the price good value. Murray even got us a free drinks coupon for a local restaurant, which we used for lunch. The Willows made a delightful base for a few days in and around Pitlochry. We’ll be back next time we’re in the Highlands.

Deborah and Murray were wonderful hosts, and breakfast was a highlight. We chose from an extensive menu the night before, and everything came piping hot and delicious. The yogurt parfaits with berry coulis and the local orange marmalade in the dining room are worth trying. We stayed three nights in late October and couldn’t have picked a better spot in Pitlochry. The picturesque Victorian villa is a short walk from the train station and even closer to Blair Atholl Distillery. Our room and en-suite were cozy and impeccably clean, with thoughtful extras like local chocolates, biscuits and bath products. Thanks for making our Highlands trip so memorable.

We used this as our base for the Etape Caledonia cycle race, and the location and stay couldn’t have been better. Murray and Deborah, the owners, were amazing, friendly and welcoming, and went out of their way to accommodate our needs. The rooms were spacious, the beds comfortable, and breakfast was a real treat. Try the homemade jam! Thanks again for such a wonderful stay.
