Lovely stay, in a very comfortable sweet lodge. Steve our host provided lovely wee touches such as tea, coffee condiments, washing up products. Comfy bed. A really lovely couple of days. Lots to see and do around lovely Perthshire.

-Margaret Taylor

Beautiful lodge in an area of outstanding beauty. Accommodation was perfect, in immaculate condition with a cosy homely feel, comfortable beds, lots of extras, books games, dvd’s and Sonos speaker. Local restaurant, The Loft was amazing, wonderful food and friendly hosts. Would highly recommend staying at Steve’s lodge.

-Laura Stewart

A wonderful and charming lodge located within walking distance of the local train station and in the heart of so much surrounding natural beauty. The property was spotless, peaceful, had plenty of amenities and perfect for warm summer evenings on the deck or cosy cooler nights. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and couldn’t recommend it enough!

-Kayleigh Barnyard

We really enjoyed our stay at Steve’s place. It was spacious enough for 4 adults and very well equipped for eating in. It is conveniently located close to the local shop and pub and with lovely walks closeby. This was the perfect way to start our Scotland adventure- and was an easy drive from Edinburgh. We would definitely recommend this modern cottage for anyone traveling through the Cairngorms.

-Lynn Barwin

Lovely lodge accommodation. Ideal for a couple or 2 with small family. Well appointed with everything you need. Great location. We were staying for a few days and there was plenty locally to see and do. A lovely stay.

Lovely stay in a beautiful lodge. Chestnut lodge had everything we were looking for. High quality kitchen, with everything we needed. Lovely bathroom with powerful shower and very comfy beds.

-Lynne Brennan

2nd time staying – lovely comfy lodge with everything you’d need. Nice surroundings & a friendly host.

-Ewan Douglas

Had a brief but lovely stay here. Steve has provided a wonderful cabin which feels like a home away from home. You want for nothing and I would happily come back to visit for longer. Steve was extremely fast to get back to me with any queries and gave lots of information so that most questions were already covered! Thank you for the lovely stay!

-Eloise Lynn

A nice peaceful log cabin, clean & welcoming. Fire in lounge a lovely bonus on a cold day. Washing machine an added bonus.

-Andy Cummings

Great accommodation and well appointed. The lodge was furnished to a high standard. Everything you needed was there. Perfect location for us as our plan was to do some walking from Old Bridge of Tilt, just up the road. Peaceful and beautiful area. From check-in to check-out the whole experience was excellent.

-Linda Bock

The lodge was perfect for our weekend stay. As described and as per photos, with a fabulous deck area. The weather was actually warm enough to eat outside! Steve was very responsive and sent us clear info prior to our arrival. Lovely location & easy to find. Beautiful little walk up alongside the River Tilt too and obviously just round the corner from Blair Atholl Castle.

-Jacqueline Bell

Lodge was fabulous, just what we needed for a chilled long weekend. Park was very quiet, but it’s spotless and beautifully kept. Lodge was very clean, beds comfy, everything we needed. Very close to pub and chippy! The waterwheel was delicious for lunch. Just a very peaceful weekend, bliss! Highly recommend the lodge, would stay again.

-Lesley Smith

Lovely peaceful cabin for a quiet retreat. Will hopefully book again in the future. Thanks to Steve for the stellar communication and lovely stay.

The most amazing couple of days in breathtaking surrounds and an outstanding cabin. Everything about this stay was excellent.

Fantastic lodge with every single thing you could wish for and amazing welcome book to cover any instructions or questions you may have. I would go back to this lodge in a heartbeat. This is NOT to be missed. Fantastic

The location is great. We stayed 2 nights over Easter. The place is comfortable, warm and clean. The size of the lodge is petfect for a family of 4. Board games, books, tourist information available. Blair Castle is a short walk from the lodge. Steve is a good host and is very responsive.

Lovely stay, had everything we needed for a long weekend. Very comfortable.

-Sally Brown

The lodge was spotlessly clean, modern and well equipped. There was everything we needed for our stay. Communication from Steve was great and he was very fast to respond. He also let us know about a fallen tree near the lodge and an alternative route to get there. Luckily the tree situation had been resolved by the time we arrived. We will definitely be staying again.

What a Cabin! Perfect for our wee getaway. Very quiet, gorgeous surroundings and we were regularly visited by Red Squirrels. Would definitely stay again. Steve was great regarding our early arrival, and did everything he could to accommodate us.

– Calum Harper

A very well appointed cabin in a fantastic location. Most everything that one would need for their stay has been thoughtfully provided. We appreciated the clear instructions and how easy check-in was as well. Four adults might find it a bit tight, but certainly for three of us were plenty comfortable. For exploring the beautiful country-side, it’s in an amazing location. Many thanks Steve for being a great host.

– Joel Carriere

Nice beautiful lodge by the river. Everything was great during our 3 day stay. The kitchen got everything we needed. Nice bedroom, comfy bed. Got lots of children’s DVD’s and toys to entertain our kids. The host was responsive and friendly. There is lots of things to do in the surrounding area. Peaceful and great for kids too.

– Wilma Demarcke

Absolutely fabulous spot, accommodation was spotless and well supplied with all that was needed. Host was extremely helpful. Only sorry that our time there was so short.

– John Alderdice

It is a well equipped, modern well located cabin. Everything you need is available. The location is on the River Tilt and it’s easy to take a look at Blair Castle or take a long walk from the house to the Beinn Mheadhonach.

– Dik Van Malsen

Lovely place to stay. Well worth a visit.

– Leah Lynch

Lovely location. Really comfortable beds and top notch pillows and bedding. Kitchen was well equipped too. Worked brilliantly for the three of us. Loved the fire – had to turn it off as hot too warm at one point. Great to sit out on the patio when the sun came out And for any walkers or runners some lovely routes to explore along the River Tilt Would definitely stay again Thank you for providing such a lovely place.

– Rachel Blackamore

The location is beautiful, near the River Tilt, close to local amenities at Blair Atholl. The lodge is equipped with everything you could possibly need, very comfortable beds, we fell in love with the log burner. Steven is a great host, there were even biscuits in the cupboard. Had such a fantastic break, definitely won’t be our last visit.

– Fiona Powell

We’ve had a very pleasant short stay at Steve’s cabin, on the way back from Skye and heading to Edinburgh. It was very easy to find it following the handy instructions he sent to us a couple of days before. The cabin is located within a sort of caravan park, right next to the river; The park was very quiet as we visited at Easter time. The log cabin is just as the pictures show, spotless and cosy, with a very homely feel to it. The beds are snug and comfy, and the ‘gas fireplace’ was a plus to keep us warm as we had very humid weather. Unfortunately we couldn’t use the outdoor space because of the constant rain, but it must be lovely sitting there in the summer. We enjoyed the collection of DVDs instead and hazarded a wet walk up the nearby Glen Tilt, which you can access by foot. Great value for money, we’re definitely going to recommend it to family and friends!

-Pauline Philippe

We’ve had a lovely stay and the property is stunning we will definitely be coming back. Cheers Steve

– Stephen Arnold

Thank you Steve for letting us stay in Chestnut cottage. It is a great cabin and has been modernised to a high spec without losing that alpine feel. Nice touch using the skis and fishing rods for decoration. The gas wood burner is amazing. And thank you for such a generous supply of coffee pods. We had a great time – 2 days of good walking in and around Glen Tilt.

– Gillian Munro

Steve and his lodge were great. Great communication and s clean place.

– Andy Aitken

If we are ever in the region again I won’t hesitate to book this perfect lodge. Thank you so much for allowing us to spend two nights here.

– Susan Bowman

We’ve just spent two fabulous nights at Steve’s fantastic lodge. What a stunning place and surroundings. The most cosy wee lodge ever. Steve had thought of everything to make our stay great. And I must add, the beds and bedding are super comfy! We’ve came away and ordered ourselves the same duvets! Thanks Steve – we will be back for sure!
Thank you Steve! What a beautiful place you have. We had an absolutely lovely time and will definitely be back! Thanks,

– Ruth Coulter

Chestnut Lodge in Blair Atholl on the River Tilt . 2nd visit for us and won’t be the last. Well equipped cabin that has all you need for your break – clear info provided by the owner on how to operate things, how to access washing/laundry facilities (not always required but great to have the option). Well maintained cabin ie everything functioning and well kept and a good selection of kitchenware. Gorgeous location and a well maintained quiet site – perfect.

– Rhona Myatt

The lodge is in a great setting and is lovely throughout. Steve was very quick to reply to my questions.

– David Brown

The place is charming and well equipped. It is located in a kind of holiday village of similar dwellings, located on the banks of a charming river. Perfect location for exploring and visiting some distilleries and castles. Attention not suitable for groups of friends who want to party, the rules of the village are quite strict. We were with family so great!

– Bertrand David

This was a really lovely lodge in a very pleasant private park. It was comfy and well equipped internally and had ample outside seating area plus an allocated parking space. It was also nicely located to explore The Cairngorms. We would definitely recommend it to others.

– Liz Wainright

Steve was incredibly accommodating throughout our stay and was immensely helpful! The lodge was fantastic and cosy, also a stone throw away to some great hikes, would recommend.

– Wilson Gay

Amazing 2 night stay. Everything we could need. Well equipped kitchen for cooking and easy walk in shower. the kids loved the games and the DVDs. We had a great time and it was great value for money.

– Karen Mackay

A wonderful log cabin in a tranquil spot of Blair Atholl. The cabin has everything you need and was a perfect 2 night stop for us on our way up to the Outer Hebrides. Great position for visiting Pitlochry & Aberfeldy. Great communication from Steve providing us with detailed instructions on arrival.

– Matt Lea

Chestnut Lodge is a wonderful place to go hiking or walking nearby (with short driving distances). It has everything you need for a comfortable stay and even offers a few small, unexpected extras. The check-in worked contactless and smoothly. If you have any questions or comments, the host replies quickly and easily. All in all an absolute recommendation!

– Anne and Matthias Mühlisch

Definitely a must book place! Quiet location and very centrally located. Has all the amenities you need!

– Roslyn Dickson

What a fabulous place to get away for the weekend. Wish I could’ve stayed longer. From the start of the booking process to checking out – was faultless. The lodge is situated right near the river which was lovely to see. Everything is catered for within this gorgeous self catering lodge, it’s spotless & guidance on how to work things are easily to hand. Steve also very kindly supplied a travel cot & high chair for my grand daughter. The lodge itself is perfect for 4 people & the log fire was a delightful treat to coorie in as the weather wasn’t very kind to us. Lovely walk up to Blair Castle with fish n chips to take back & The Loft on site is a must to visit. Our meal was amazing! Oh There are games and dvds as well which was a Lovely touch. I will definitely be returning.

– Patricia Arshad

I wanted to write a quick review to say the care and effort put into this lodge was excellent. Our kids loved it and it felt like a home from home. Would highly recommend it to any families or couples.

– Louise Joss

We stayed in chestnut lodge for 3 nights and it was perfect for us, our toddler and newborn. A cot was provided which was great. The place was really cosy and clean inside and in a beautiful setting!

Great park and walks in pitlochry. We will be returning.

One of the best Airbnbs I’ve ever stayed in. Steve was quick to respond, provided helpful tips on the local area and the place beyond exceeded our expectations. Don’t hesitate to stay here!

– Mandy Hayes

Beautiful cabin in amazing location! Stayed for the weekend with three friends and we couldn’t recommend it enough for a few nights away. The cabin was spotless and had everything we needed. Beds were super comfy and the terrace was huge which was a real bonus as we had lovely weather. Blair atholl is a great location. The loft restaurant a few minutes walk away is also delicious. Will definitely be back. Communication with Steve was great and really speedy and check in and check out couldn’t have been easier!

– Gordon MacWalter

Fantastic cabin in a excellent location. Really enjoyed our stay.

Located within the Moorings, at the River Tilt Park, Chestnut Lodge is a terrific base to explore Perthshire and beyond. Chestnut Lodge is very modern, has all the facilities required and is cleaned to a high standard. Hand sanitisers are located at the entrance to the Lodge and throughout the park. The on site restaurant “The Loft” is worth a visit.

– Tom Giblin

We stayed here for 3 nights and wish it had been for longer! The lodge is perfect both in terms of amenities and location which is idyllic and exceeded our expectations. It was wonderful to wake up on a morning and sit in front of the wood burning stove with a cuppa watching all the birds and red squirrels outside. We went on lots of walks in the surrounding area including along the river and also up to the grounds of Blair Atholl Castle. We also ate at the Loft restaurant which we would thoroughly recommend. All in all this was a perfect break and we are so glad to have discovered this lodge. It was just what we needed after all the stresses of this year so far. We will definitely be back!

– Carole & Rob Kennedy

The fire was a lovely touch for the cosy evenings. Really good location, lots of outdoor walk and local attractions to visit. Fantastic communication from Steve and always on hand for any queries 🙂

– Lesley Cameron

The park is situated less than 15mins walk from Blair Athol train station and the lodge itself is 5mins from reception. It was fully kitted out with everything we could have possibly needed. Plenty sockets for my 2 boys’ tablets/switch/mobile chargers 🙂 and free wifi – which makes or breaks a holiday for an 8 and 10yr old!! The wood burning gas fire was such a treat and made it so cosy. It was spotless and really couldn’t fault anything. We would absolutely return.

– Kenneth McDade

We had a wonderful time at Chestnut lodge. Everything was perfect even the weather. Would highly recommend a stay here and plan to come back in the near future.

– Katy Dyson

A beautiful part of Scotland and a wonderful cabin to base yourself. Thank you for an easy and straightforward stay.

– Catherine Smith

We stayed in the Chestnut Lodge for 5 nights and it was excellent. Starting with basics, everything within the lodge was spotless and had obviously been fully cleaned, which was reassuring. The equipment within the lodge was very modern and to a high standard. This included free Wifi, a Sonos sound system, a decent collection of DVD’s and many board games. More natural entertainment was provided by the range of birds which visited the decking area along with the regular red squirrel. The lodge is located in a very quiet area, so is ideal if you are looking for a nice relaxing getaway.

– Fiona Fyfe

This place is amazing, would highly recommend. Very professionally managed, great location, good communication, spotlessly clean, zero complaints. Many thanks Steve, we will be back.
