Birnam is a charming Highland village, and this VRBO is perfectly situated in the heart of it. The peaceful courtyard is an ideal spot to enjoy your morning coffee or relax in the evening. The home is well-equipped with everything you need, including a fully stocked kitchen, making it easy to feel at home. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would gladly return on our next visit to Scotland.

We had a lovely time staying at Towerview. The house, located in a courtyard, is beautifully but simply decorated and is very cosy and comfortable. The kitchen is also very well equipped. I hope to make a return visit to this house in the future.

Beautiful holiday flat with everything you could think of to make your stay comfortable. Would have loved to stay longer. We didn't get the chance to explore the area fully so we will return soon to try out the local walks and pubs.

Perfect base for exploring

We had a wonderful time exploring the area, this flat is just around the corner from a great bookshop, the library, an art center, then a quick 5 minute walk to Birnam woods. A comfortable and beautiful flat!

Wonderful Stay

Our family had a wonderful stay at the cottage. The entrance with the spiral staircase were so much fun. We passed a lot of time sitting in the lounge together, such a cozy room. The shower was amazing! The beds were comfortable. We absolutely loved the location; it was the perfect place to explore the area. We highly recommend this apartment.

Great place in the Scottish countryside

This is a nice place within easy reach from all Highlands attractions. Loch Ness is 2 hours to the north, Sterling is 1 hour to the south, Pitlochry is just next town over. The only confusion was where to park, the neighbors are a bit territorial. Apartment itself is very clean, warm, and cozy.

Great property in a great location

Would highly recommend this property. There is a very cosy lounge with two comfortable sofas, free view TV with access to Netflix and AmazonPrime. A selection of games and playing cards also provided. The dining kitchen was nice with a generous supply of utensils, crockery and glasses together with numerous cleaning products. The property was quite cold on our arrival but the owner left very easy to follow instructions for getting the heating going. There were large thermostat controlled radiators in each room so it soon warmed up. The bathroom and shower were good as were the bedrooms which had plenty of cosy bed linen and very nicely decorated. The location of the property was great. A short 5-10 min walk to Dunkeld town centre where there are numerous places to eat. The Irvine Arms was especially nice and was also dog friendly with extra seating by the river for nice warm days. There were also ample facilities in Birman. The local village shop selling everything you could imagine and several coffee shops. Although be aware that a lot of shops seem to close on Monday and some on Tuesday as well. We found lovely walks from the property by the river and also a short distance drive. Communication with the host, Alison, was excellent. She checked that we had arrived ok and whether we needed anything and replied to messages instantly. It was a shame we could only stay for a couple of days. We didn’t want to leave.
