  : The property was clean, warm and had everything we needed for our stay. Dog friendly, with good walks on the estate.
  : The drive way to estate could be improved as a lot of potholes though this didnt spoil our stay.

  : The Gate Lodge cottage was lovely and clean with a large enclosed garden for dogs. It took us a few attempts to get the wood burner going, but once we got it, it was lovely and cosy. The welcome pack did say we could ask for help if needed, but we managed it and there were plenty of logs outside the front door for us. We met the owner who was very helpful and friendly. The whole estate was lovely, well-kept and great for nature walks. The welcome pack gives you plenty of information about the area and has a trail map and notes how long each trail takes to walk, which was really helpful.There is a small honesty shop at the main house selling eggs, chocolate, snacks and kindling and there is a large Tesco in Blairgowrie and other shops in nearby Alyth for all your main groceries. We would recommend visiting the antique centres in the area such as the Scottish Antique and Arts Centre which is huge and the Rait Antiques Centre. We also spent a day in Dundee and found a dog friendly restaurant for lunch. I stayed for a week with my hubby, 13 year old son and two pups and everyone had a lovely time here. Highly recommended.
  : Not something negative about the property itself; however, a gentle reminder to city folks like us. Its the country, so as expected, almost every time the dogs came in from the garden, out walks rummaging through long grass or sticking their heads in bushes, they had a tick crawling on their fur. So please make sure your dogs have been pre-treated for ticks and check them each time they come in. The owners remind you of this in their welcome pack, but just a heads up for those like us who are not used to this.
