We had car trouble just before we arrived and were just able to get the rental car to the property. Nacy and Scott were so friendly, understanding and helpful. I was able to get the car looked at while at the property.
The house itself is gorgeous. The property is well appointed. It is very elegant. There is a sitting room and a library that guests can use, which we did. It is only a 5 to 10 minute walk into town.
The Breakfast room is reserved for breakfast. There are many options. They ask you fill out your order the night before and when you would like the breakfast.
The food is fantastic. My only regret is that we were not there long enough to try everything.
The rooms itself are cozy, clean and well maintained. The beds are nice and comfortable. Shower is a good size with nice water pressure.
We really enjoyed our stay here. It was a fantastic stay!

Run don't walk and book Poplars, it was a lovely stay!
Nancy welcomed us like long lost friends and made us feel at home. A beautiful property, we stayed on the top floor overlooking the mountains and rooftops of Pitlochry.
So many personal touches and the property is immaculate. The guest lounge is warm and inviting too!
Our stay was perfect. Breakfast was wonderful and make sure you try the porridge with whiskey!
Run, don't walk.. a glorious guest house stay.

Great location, great service, great value
We had a lovely stay in Pitlochry at the Poplars Guest House. The accommodation offered discounts at local restaurants and the distillery . We booked the distillery tour separately upfront, but if you’re planning to visit the distillery would recommend to ask for the discount code at the accommodation. Our host was friendly and made a lovely breakfast. She also gave us great walking recommendations we all used. There was also a lounge you can use to relax as well. All in all, a really good value stay on your route through the highlands!
