We have absolutely loved our stay at Heilan Roo. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home and it's been such a lovely place to relax and enjoy some precious time away. The property is beautifully presented and spotlessly clean, but it's the little touches and the obvious care that has gone into everything that really make it special. It feels warm, welcoming and we've enjoyed every minute of being here. We're genuinely sad that our stay has come to an end and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this stunning home to anyone looking for somewhere spacial to stay. If we could give it 6 stars we would! Thank you so much Elaine & Roo.
We had the most wonderful and unforgettable stay in this beautiful holiday home in Scotland, where we celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary. Because of that, this place will always hold a very special place in our hearts. From the moment we arrived, everything felt perfect. The house was absolutely beautiful, cosy, peaceful and full of charm. The surroundings were breathtaking, and the whole atmosphere made our anniversary feel even more romantic and special than we could have imagined. Elaine and Roo were wonderful hosts warm, welcoming and thoughtful, and they made us feel truly comfortable during our stay. We are so grateful to them for helping make such an important occasion in our lives even more memorable. We enjoyed every single moment and created memories here that we will treasure forever. Scotland has always been very special to us, but after this stay it feels even more meaningful. Thank you so much, Elaine and Roo, for such a beautiful experience and for being part of our 10th anniversary memories. We would return in a heartbeat and would highly recommend this wonderful home to anyone looking for a peaceful, romantic and unforgettable stay in Scotland. We truly hope this was not our last visit.
We had a wonderful stay at Helmand Roo. The owner was incredibly helpful and friendly from before we arrived until after we left. The house is stunning, really unique. We loved everything about it. A very special stay. The garden was a particular highlight with the BBQ, hot tub and fire pit. We cant wait to come back!
The property is finished to a high standard and is comfortable with everything you need at hand. The outside area is very relaxing and we did see some red squirrels early one morning. We had an issue which was out of their control and the owners were great at communicating and finding a solution. We would definitely recommend this as a high end place to spend time with family
We have had the pleasure of staying in some beautiful houses over the years but Heilan Roo exceeded them all, and then some. Yes the house is beautiful, the gardens a joy but the attention to detail is exceptional. The finishing touches that make this a real home, everything is thought through. The design and build is beautiful and the finishing touches like lots of throws to use in the outdoor areas, the bird feeders well stocked.. the list goes on. Kitchen so well equipped you could cater for a banquet if you so wished! Hand mixer, blender, every sort of baking tin and serving bowl you might need. The wildlife is very accustomed to human company so enjoy the visit of the pheasants and grouse and of course the red squirrels. Your host Elaine could not be more helpful and ready with a quick reply if a question asked lots of clear instructions re appliances and the house and of course the local area. 5 stars well deserved more if possible. Dont hesitate to book your stay you wont regret it. Oh and as a bad sleeper I cant tell you how great it was to have such comfortable beds in fact the best weeks sleep I have had in many years. Thanks again Elain and Roo and we hope to return soon.
Heilan Roo offered exceptional accommodation, set in a stunning location. Great care and thought had been given to ensuring our comfort and the facilities and landscaped gardens were first class.
Re Sykes 1. Eventually managed to locate this review facility. Your Write a Review link does not work and it was sent from your noreply em address. Difficult navigation. 2. You tried to charge us a 20 booking fee to book for eight people which the property accommodates instead of six. Why? This is pennypinching. Re the property Magnificent. Spotlessly clean, superb facilities and extras hot tub, BBQ. 8 guests and it still felt very spacious. All guidance from Elaine re appliances, waste disposal etc were precise and clear, helpful & friendly. Everything for 8 guests was provided. As this was a 70th birthday celebration host Elaine made it extra special leaving chocolates, bottle of fizz & a balloon to greet us, a very warm & welcome touch. Perfect location at Killiecrankie, close to Pitlochry, for hiking, kayaking, superb restaurants especially The Loft at Blair Atholl magnificent. Retail therapy at House of Bruar & Dalwhinnie whisky distillery tour had to be done and Blair Castle definitely worth a visit. A special week with special friends and Elaine is a very special host. Thank you, we had a blast!
A fabulous property in a fantastic location. Beautifully designed interior and lovely gardens. The eastwest orientation ensured sunrise at breakfast and sunsets in one of the seating areas. The gardens attracted a huge variety of wildlife, most of which seemed relaxed enough to come up to us. The bathrooms were spacious and stylish, and the beds were especially comfortable. The owners were helpful and very generous with high quality supplies. We would be more than happy to stay again.
Heilan Roo is a little bit of paradise tucked away just outside Pitlochry. My family and I had the most amazing holiday and Heilan Roo was the perfect base. The house is very modern and well equipped and the gardens which surround the entire house are beautiful with red squirrels, grouse, pheasants, lots of small birds and even a woodpecker visiting regularly. Our host, Elaine could not have been more helpful and friendly and we will almost certainly return in the future. I could not recommend this more highly.
This is our second visit to Heilan Roo and it was just as wonderful as the first. Even after two years, it hasnt lost any of its charm. We were once again warmly welcomed with thoughtful touches like bread, milk, chocolates, and Easter eggs for the kids which made settling in feel extra special right from the start. The home itself hasnt changed a bit and was exactly as we remembered. Its clear that a great deal of care and love goes into maintaining this beautiful forest retreat and making it such a welcoming place to stay. Elaine was incredibly helpful, providing plenty of recommendations for places to visit, as well as suggestions for local shops and great spots to eat nearby. The surrounding area offers so much to do with Pitlochry just down the road and plenty of scenic walks right on the doorstep, perfect for anyone looking to relax or explore. All in all, another fantastic stay in a truly beautiful setting. We wouldnt hesitate to return again.
Firstly, the photos of the property are great, but the property is so much nicer than you could imagine. The flow of the house and serenity do not come across in the photos. The owners were amazing, so thank you to Elaine for supplying lots of details to help us enjoy our stay and for Roo for building the house, what a great job. We have been holidaying in Scotland every year since 1995 and this is the best house we have had the pleasure to stay in. We could not say any more than we would be happy to live there. Location is also amazing, and if you like the great outdoors and walking you will not be disappointed. You only have to walk down the drive and you are on a circular route that goes up to Ben Vrackie, round Pitlochry and back along the river, truly amazing. I could keep writing superlatives about this house and location all day. I got home feeling really rejuvenated and would love to return some day. Thanks again to Elaine and Roo for providing this amazing oportunity.
Heilan Roo was an amazing property. Everything about it exceeded expectations and the attention to detail from the owners was second to none. The little personal touches added to what already was a warm and welcoming home from home. Communications from Elaine before and during our stay were welcoming and provided lots of useful information which helped us make the most of our time in Pitlochry. Wouldnt hesitate in recommending this amazing property.
The property was pretty fantastic all round and calnnot be faulted in any way. Even our 2 Teens thought the stay over Christmas was magical. The property was beautifully and tastefully decorated with Christmas decor which added greatly to the experience. The hot tub was a great addition and well used by the teens.
Heilan Roo looks beautiful online, but to see it in reality is something else altogether. Absolutely stunning property. The design, space, accessibility, facilities and attention to detail is all top notch. Elaine is a fantastic communicator from booking to departure. Enough helpful info without being over bearing. We will definitely be back
Staying at Heilan Roo was a great experience. If you go away on Holiday then you really want your accommodation to at least match the standards you are used to at home and Heilan Roo will exceed those for most people. It is beautiful and so well done. Designed in a lovely modern style with large open plan living areas and also built to a fine standard with thoughtful and quality touches throughout. Elaine also deserves a mention for her communication and obvious care for her guests, it all felt top notch! Heilan Roo feels secluded and quiet but actually has quick and easy access to the A9 for travel too. Overall, my stay was a really good experience and feels like standards for others to follow!
The most stunning place you will ever stay! Lots of little personal touches which you dont usually have. Responsive owner if you have any questions. Lots of ideas given on the local area for things to do. We didnt go out much as we were happy in this beautiful house & garden. Very comfortable beds. Big fluffy towels, hot tub towels & dressing gowns too. Extremely well equipped with all you need for your stay. We will definitely return to this little slice of heaven! Blissfully happy family
What an amazing place. The pictures don't do it justice. Central to most places. A9 road is 2 minutes away. It's just wow.
Well what can we say about Heilan Roo. . theres not enough words in the dictionary to describe this very special place. A true slice of luxury, in the most tranquil of surroundings. Wow, just wow!
What an amazing, contemporary, spacious property in a stunning setting. Super comfy beds, stylish furnishings Set in the forest with well set out areas for hot tub, relaxing, bbq and firepit. Visits from local wildlife were the icing on the cake red squirrels, pheasant, buzzards, and a vast array of finches etc Highly recommended
