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.

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

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.

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.

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

Gorgeous property with 5 star facilities in an area of outstanding beauty. So many areas to explore in a relatively short distance from Pitlochry. We will be back

We had a fantastic family holiday at Heilan Roo, Elaine, the owner, could not have been more helpful and informative ahead of our arrival. Great garden under the trees with lots of wildlife to see and some amazing scenic hikes from the doorstep or close by. House had all the modern comforts you need with a contemporary luxury feel. Fantastic part of the world to visit

Everything about our stay was even better than we could have hoped! The house & location were wonderful & there was nothing we could have needed that wasn't provided for. We would definitely stay at Heilan Roo again & highly recommend it to anyone looking to stay in this beautiful area of Scotland.

We are just home from our 4 nights at Heilan Roo. It was the most wonderful trip and this stunning house just made it that extra bit special. A truly beautiful home with everything we could have ever needed. Communion with the property owner before, during and after has been a pleasure, this hopefully wont be our last trip to Heilan Roo. Thank you so much for having us.

We spoke with Elaine prior to our visit and had any small queries thoroughly answered. Heilan Roo is a truly exceptional property as is its stunning gardens and surroundings. We were a party of 6, celebrating a 71st birthday, so spent a very special week in a very special place. Two red squirrels were regular visitors to the peanut holder. Thank you so much and we will definitely return. Best Regards Peter & Carol from Durham

Just returned home from a fabulous week in Heilan Roo and could have stayed forever! Everything was perfect and so much thought and care has gone in to make your stay memorable. The indoor space was amazing but the outdoors was truly unforgettable. I will definitely be returning.

We rent holiday houses in the UK for many years and rarely are surprised but this one exceeded our expectations. It's a luxury accommodation designed to enjoy fantastic setting within pine trees. High quality furnishing, fully equipped modern kitchen, all very clean and all new. And attention to the detail in the decor. The location is very convenient close to Pitlochry and quick access to A9 road. Walking paths nearby. June is always beautiful in Scotland, we had a good weather and could enjoy the hot tab. If you like the pictures on this website, believe me, the reality is even better. We plan to return soon. Highly recommended. Thank you Elaine & Roo for sharing this place with others
