3 bedroom accommodation in Moulin, Pitlochry

After reading the 8.8 out of 10 rating. I must have gone to the wrong property. The kitchen area was ok. And usable. The dining area. Well the carpet looks like it was bought from a closing down pub. Covered in splash marks. Moving on to the living area . An open fire looks ok. But the smell of soot is overwhelming. But when you get the window open you will find an industrial size extractor fan from the hotel across the road. Pointing straight at the property. Blowing in the window. You can smell what is on the hotel menus. At night when they are cooking meat . The smoke from the fat is visible. But whilst blowing in the window mixes well with the soot smell. Giving the living room a certain ambiance. The bedroom. Yes the en-suite toilet. It’s a toilet in a cupboard. The home has more air freshener than the local co-op but it’s ok very few work. The outdoor seating area . A small round table with dirty seats next to the hotel car park. Behind the bin . When you do go to bed. You will have the noise of the industrial fan across the road . Switching of and on to help you get to sleep. And no you will be surprised to guess. I won’t be booking again next year.

Wonderful cottage. Lovely kitchen and dining area, comfy living room and great bedrooms. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Hi, when we arrived we knew that the property was 17th century, and that looks like the last time, it was decorated :-). However, and this is a HUGE however, despite the fact, that this property is in need of a major refurb, this did not detract, from the fact, that we had a most enjoyable stay. On the day we left, there were 3 cleaners, ready to go into the cottage to clean it. If these are the normal cleaners, then I think that the managing agent, needs to replace them, as they are clearly not doing a proper job of it. The beds, linen, towels, etc were all clean, which was the most important part, and that's why we stayed. The kitchen had everything you need, and previous occupiers, had left salt, pepper, spices, oil, etc, so this was a good start, when we went to get our first shopping list. The bathroom has a bath with shower over, and although there is wetwall around the bath / shower area, the silicon needs replaced, as does the shower seal onto the bath. The master bedroom has an "en suite", which was so funny, as it was obviously a small walk in cupboard previously, and has been converted into a WC. It was really funny to see this. The lounge has 2 of newish 3-seater and a 2-seater sofas, has a coal fire, but also the cottage has central heating throughout, so was certainly not cold at all. It was very cosy in the lounge, after a long day, walking around the beautiful countryside. This cottage is excellently situated, for access to Moulin, Pitlochry, Edradour, Black Spout, Craigower, Ben-Y-Vrackie, and well as walks to Killiecrankie. It is directly behind the Moulin Inn (Circa 1695), and good food and selection of drinks are available. I even tried 3 of the Moulin Brewery Real Ales, which were very good, and at £3.70 for 3 third pints glasses, to try out 3 different ales, was a bargain. If the owner / management team, were to invest in a refurb of this cottage, it could be really amazing, but "all in all", we had a fabulous break, in this cottage, and would certainly use it again.

Great location but the property could do with a refresh.
