Pitlochry

Very near the High Street but up a long drive, this property has commanding views over the hills. There is ample parking to the right of the building. It is not a hotel and does not provide evening meals but serves an excellent bespoke breakfast. We had e-mail confirmation from the owner Peter before we arrived, which was nice. It was just unfortunate that after a long drive and just wanting to see our room and use the WC, we had to sit in a front room and fill in a form with driving licence details and chose the breakfast we were to eat some 18 hours later!  The charge for the room had been settled in advance so why all the fuss? That said, the room was stunning and really cosy - almost too warm. There was a large well appointed bathroom with nice Scottish toiletries and cosy towels. On a side table we found a kettle and tea-cups with tea/ cofee sachets etc and biscuits and some milk sachets; we could have done with more as we used ours in the evening. 
We headed out into the local town which is well served with nice restaurants and then enjoyed a comfortable sleep. The designer breakfast was served in a large dining room with wonderful views down the garden slope and across the hills. The food was first rate and served by a charming lady - Bakyt.  Peter had made us feel welcome too and was good for local information about places to visit. We would consider using this guest house again as it was so lovely and not the run of the mill small hotel.

Most comfortable and welcoming

Very stylish and well equipped country house in a very central location, just above the village centre. At breakfast, the owner of the house is standing in the kitchen and welcomes the guests personally, a very nice gesture. We feel very well, we can only recommend the country house!

Beautiful country house in top condition

Stunning from arrival to departure. Unusual to say there was nothing negative about this Guest House but it is absolutely true. We stayed here for an overnight on our way home from a week in Aviemore and it was the best decision we made all week. Impressive is an understatement. It is not the cheapest in the area but we will gladly pay to stay here again. I could go on and on about the great food, the comfort of the room, the friendliness of the owners, the magnificent views and the gardens but why not come and see for yourselves that the ratings are true.

Excellent choice in Pitlochry

What a lovely place to stay. Warmly  welcomed  on arrival.  Our room was simply  perfect and beautifully presented, as is the rest of the house, with the wonderful,  lovingly restored, period features.   The views each morning across the garden  from both  our bedroom and breakfast room,  allowed  us to relax and take in the autumnal  delights. Great way to start each day . 
The Wellwood is  a very short walk  into Pitlochry , lots of places to eat out etc,  super base to explore this lovely area.  We visited the enchanted forest, Blair Atholl , The House  of Bruar, Queens view, etc. etc..We were blessed with lovely weather,   which showcases the beauty of the area even more. 
Thanks to Peter and the team, who were  all so very attentive during our 3 day stay.   Breakfast  was a feast of delights, so much choice , setting you up for the day ahead.  A must place to stay  if visiting Pitlochry.  
Came home,  feeling totally spoiled and relaxed, many  thanks  Peter from both of us

Super place to stay in Pitlochry

Reviews on trip advisor are sometimes amusing. I read the negative comments for The Wellwood and thought “a wee too much of the ‘highland’ air maybe?”

We cane up from Glasgow for the night to visit ‘the enchanted forest’ which was neither enchanted or magical or anything else besides trees lit up at night and a great disappointment. 

However, what made our visit wonderful and saved what could have been a disastrous ‘unenchanted’ waste of time visit was staying here. 

Peter and his wife Bakyt we’re absolutely fabulous. The room cosy, warm and beautiful the bathroom large the shower GREAT. 

Breakfast was brilliant. I can recommend the whiskey porridge. Never had it before LOVED it. I thought, “I’d book here just to have breakfast”. 

I didn’t want to leave. I could envisage sitting in the lounge downstairs relaxing with a great book and a wee dram of my favourite whiskey and let the world go by. Mmmm maybe two or three drams. 

The building is amazing. I have to confess Peter, I was so tempted to go up the little narrow staircase that was closed off near our room ‘just to see what was up there’ and I’m sure the view over Pitlochry even better than from your dining room. 

To top it off, as we were leaving a rarely seen red squirrel appeared amongst the trees in the car park and as a keen photographer I was able to get several closeup photos with my telephoto lens. 

Without a doubt the best place to stay in Pitlochry and we’ve stayed at other places on previous occasions The Wellwood and hosts Peter and Bakyt are outstanding. 

Will definitely be back. 


Faulty Towers? 

With almost endless amounts of hotels and guest houses to choose from in Pitlochry I can tell you that after a few hours of driving from Edinburgh we were not at all disappointed with our final choice. 

The building has old school charm but is well maintained with modern fittings and fixtures. A perfect blend of old and new. 

The bed and pillows gave us a solid nights sleep after hours of walking around the enchanted Forrest. 

Phone signal was never an issue despite on tap WiFi available throughout the guest. 

Every member of the guest house we talked to was incredibly professional, accommodating, efficient and happy. 

The breakfast was fast, delicious and custom to our wants/needs. 

And a short 3/4 minute wander away to the high street (with a big Co-op in between the two). 

Would stay again and would recommend!

Excellent Overnight Stay

We arrived at Wellwood in the afternoon, we had booked and prepaid a double room for two days. We filled out a very detailed breakfast form on food cooking, preferences, allergies and intolerances, a whole page. We think: extreme precision! then confirmed by reading the hotel rules and sanctions. The receptionist accompanies us to the room, number 1 just as you climb the stairs. Large room, very well maintained, king size bed, bathroom with tub and shower, beautiful. As soon as we close the roof we notice that on two tiles and parts of the wall there are a lot of moisture, the wallpaper we're going to wash the wall. A nice cleaning, we're going to the hotel.

Very picturesque but...

We had stayed at Wellwood from the time of the former owners and were delighted to return to this beautiful place, and we were a little surprised to see the new decor which is certainly very refined but which does not justify the fact that prices have gone up so much, and especially for the very small room that we had it seemed disproportionate to us.

Too expensive.

We stayed for two days in this dream establishment. Peter and Bakit are very hospitable guests. The house is beautiful and the decor is refined and very tasty. The bed is excellent and the cleanliness impeccable. Breakfast in front of a bow Window overlooking a bucolic garden. A British so-called lounge to drink a local whiskey or gin tonic unless you prefer tea. All in absolute calm within a two-minute walk of the lovely Pitlochry town centre where Bakit knows how to advise you to go to dinner in the best places. We warmly recommend Veronica and Patrice

It's perfect.

We stayed there for four days. The house is beautiful, off the main street. It's quiet, yet you're in the center in five minutes on foot. The atmosphere in the house is unparalleled: approaching hosts, stylish rooms, beautiful and comfortable rooms, good beds and a feeling-good atmosphere, very personal. The breakfast is excellent, the service is always friendly and friendly.
