  • "Let me start by saying what an amazing place Heilan Roo is."

    When you first arrive, the property looks as amazing as the pictures portray, especially if you arrive at dusk as we did. The house is very spacious and has two adjoining open plan living spaces. One we used during the day with a large leather corner sofa overlooking the front of the property and the other an entertainment area sharing it’s space with the kitchen and dining table. All the rooms are furnished to a high standard with quality furniture, paintings and hand made decorations in each room. The kitchen is well stocked and has everything you could ever need. Nothing is missing and you won’t need to bring anything with you. The gravelled garden was beautiful with its waterfalls that lit up on an evening and made for a fantastic place to relax in the log fired hot tub at the end of the day. We didn’t use them, but there was also a BBQ and fire pit which would make for a great place to spend your time in the summer evenings I’m sure. Elaine had put together a welcome basket with a number of goodies to welcome us. Both before and during our stay she was very attentive, offering tips on the hot tub, EV charging and places to eat and visit during our stay. Pitlochry itself has plenty of places to eat and visit and we followed some of Elaine’s recommendations by eating at McKay’s and The Old Mill. We also visited the Dam and Salmon Ladder which were free to access. A short walk from the house is the Killiecrankie Visitor Centre and Jacobite Cafe where you can grab a cake and coffee before walking the River Garry all the way to Pitlochry and/or visit the Soldiers Leap. Heilan Roo is a stunning property and located in a fantastic location. You really couldn’t find anywhere better to stay and we couldn’t believe our luck in being able to book it. We will definitely look forward to coming back again in the near future.

  • "We stayed at Heilan Roo for the first time last week and can honestly say we will definitely be staying here again!"

    This place has everything you need and more. The owners were extremely kind and even left a little welcome gift on arrival. The house is absolutely spotless and has a large living space with plenty of room to relax. It is located in a very relaxing area with the sound of waterfalls to make you feel completely switched off from the world. Short distance from Pitlochry town and plenty of eateries near by. 10/10 from us! Pat, Gordon, Thomas & Olivia

    The interior is stunningly stylish and the perfect place to relax and unwind after a busy day exploring the beautiful area. The garden is pristine and includes a hot tub, bbq and outside dining area with relaxing waterfalls. In short it’s hard to imagine how this property could be improved on and over Elaine is ultra friendly and easily contactable should you need anything. 10/10

Boasting well presented interiors, fantastic local attractions, and a nearby pub and river, this property allows guests to explore Pitlochry, Blair Atholl, the Cairngorms National Park and is ideal for friends, groups of couples, or families escaping to Perthshire.

Park off-road and take in the contemporary architecture of this property, built with stone and sporting a charming backdrop of mature trees.

Unpack into a light and airy open-plan living space with dual-aspect bifolding doors and skylights, as well as tasteful décor such as a combination of Black Gold Metal Slate cabinetry with an Antique Bronze Synergy handleless rail system.

The bifolding doors fully open to both the front and rear of the property giving the feeling of bringing the outdoors inside, especially nice on a sunny day, but just as lovely on all weathers!

Cook up a storm in the opulent kitchen, boasting a range of premium Neff and Hotpoint appliances, dine together at the dining table over a glass of fizz ,as the handy utility takes care of all of your muddy clothes.

Make the most of the striking kitchen island which has been cleverly positioned to create a highly sociable space․ With its eye-catching 20mm Dekton Trilium worktop finished in beautiful earthy tones it complements the room perfectly and ensures the chef can also indulge in social cooking times.

From here, settle into the stunning sitting areas and indulge in a movie marathon, with the feature wall boasting a Smart TV and a feature fire to warm your feet by after a day of walking, as well as earthy tones to remind you that the beautiful countryside is only a short walk away.

Outside, discover a fantastic garden with water features, custom-built waterfalls and mature trees, offering a beautiful sitting area for alfresco dining with a view over the stream which runs alongside Heilan Roo.

On cooler evenings, cosy up beside the fire pit, enjoy a barbecue dinner in the warmer evenings, and savour the added indulgence of a hot tub all year round.

When sleep calls, freshen up in one of the shower rooms, before retiring to one of four bedrooms to catch your rest.

With beautiful décor, each room has its own bathrobes and storage, so choose between one handy zip/link room with an Xbox and Smart TV, a super-king-size which is is home to a sleek en-suite, or the remaining two bedrooms, a king-size and super-king-size, which share access to a shower room.

This delightful location rests beside the River Garry, where there are lovely walks through The Hermitage, The Pass of Killiecrankie Path, Soldiers Leap, and the Tay Forest Park where there is The Enchanted Forest, and Linn of Tummel; you can even access Ben Vrackie from the doorstep of Heilan Roo.
