Guests say
Mullingar is a well-regarded property in Pitlochry, praised for its comfort, spaciousness, and peaceful setting. Guests appreciate the proximity to local amenities and the property's well-equipped nature. The garden and views are highlights, contributing to a home-from-home experience.
Most guests found Mullingar clean and welcoming. However, one review mentioned the property was not clean upon arrival, requiring them to purchase cleaning products. This seems to be an isolated incident, as no other reviews raised cleanliness concerns.
The location is frequently described as fantastic, peaceful, and close to the town centre, with beautiful views and easy access to local attractions. The steep hill access is noted, which may not suit everyone.
The property is consistently described as comfortable, with spacious rooms and cosy furnishings. Some guests mentioned issues with mattresses and a preference for blackout blinds, but overall, the comfort level is high.
Facilities are generally praised, especially the well-equipped kitchen and outdoor amenities. Criticisms include internet reliability and a desire for appliance manuals. The presence of a laundry room is appreciated, but the need for more kitchen storage and supplies is noted.
While guests mention little extras like biscuits and milk, there is not enough consistent information about thoughtful touches or gifts to accurately score this category. It should be noted that such extras, while appreciated, are not guaranteed.

Pitlochry, a charming Victorian burg in Perth and Kinross, has been attracting tourists ever since Queen Victoria stopped by in 1842. The town's location between the Ben Vrackie and Schiehallion mountains makes it ideal for hillwalking, and the River Tummel is beautiful, with a scenic dam and boat hire (or you can just watch the action while sipping a hot beverage at the Boating Station Café). Golfers and nature lovers will enjoy the nearby Tay Forest Park and Tay River, while cyclists and hikers will appreciate the proximity of the dramatic Cairngorms National Park. The town is home to a variety of shops and restaurants, and it also hosts festivals throughout the year. There's something for everyone in Blair Athol, what with the distillery and all. With its stunning buildings, abundance of services, and interesting attractions like its museum and art gallery, Perth is a fantastic day trip destination. This is a fantastic region of Scotland with lots of attractions.

The property is well equipped with with everything we needed. The Little extras such as the biscuits, pint of milk and hot drink options were very much appreciated. The sitting area and beds are very comfortable and the lighting throughout the home makes the rooms cozy. The garden space is great. Our children especially loved the tyre swing, and made use of the selection of board games and the Badminton set. Thank you so much for our fabulous stay. We would definitely come back in the future.

The views over the village and the hills was incredible - although we were out much of our stay we all felt it would be a lovely place to visit again and had fantastic outdoor spaces we didn't manage to make use of. The one thing we felt could have improved it, would be cupboard space in the kitchen for groceries, as any we had that didn't fit in the fridge had to sit out on the kitchen tops.
