Errichel House and Cottages

Having only discovered that establishment was not cleaning rooms at the last minute we were reluctant to go. However as they had already pre charged us for our 3 night stay (+£400) we felt we had little choice. The location is remote but v picturesque. Rooms were ok (bathroom v modern but bedroom not as much). TV played up from start to finish. Despite it being v quiet we had lots of pre stay confusion over dinner bookings and having taken bookings for 2 nights they told us a month or so before that they were closing restaurant on those nights! We eventually sorted but....it didn't feel a great way to treat guests. When we arrived the chef/owner greeted us with his Covid financial woes! As if we needed to hear - we had a close relative who died but I wouldn't expect him to be interested in that. The waiting staff were young and v pleasant. Food was ok but steaks (at £28.95) were ordinary with boring accompaniments and Thai curry was as far away from Thailand as you could get. After night 1 dinner, we went to room and were followed up by waiter who advised that no charges could be put on room so he had card machine for us to pay at room door! Breakfast was good. However, everything felt v measured. At my request we were given new bath towels every day but bin in room lay for 3 days as did toilet etc. No cleaning products were provided to clean toilet etc even if we wanted to. As I said to co owner a hotel stay on that basis becomes more like self catering with breakfast. In my view the decision not to clean rooms just doesn't make sense as everyone ends up with a dirtier environment etc. I really think this is as much £ oriented as Covid which I fear some people will drag on for as long as possible (indeed having said to owner that I was looking forward to changes in Scottish Covid restrictions on 21 March, he advised that for them little would change)! Really! Do some businesses want to be rejuvenated or not. We have stayed at this place before but we will be trying something new in the future.

This is a home from home. Been 4 years in a row now. Rebecca, Paul and the team are so lovely. See you again next year

This place is just beautiful and such a lovely place to go. It is beautiful, friendly and the Farm Tour was just such fun and great value. We will be heading back again and this time to stay over for a night or two. The family that ran it are such lovely people and so warm and inviting

Magical white Christmas, beautiful spotlessly clean cottage, fabulous staff, lovely pizzas, bistro and frozen meals, great deli, most amazing ever changing views, loved Birks of Aberfeldy walk and the Dewars tour. Feeding the ducks and all the farm animals looking majestic in their settings 😍 big kids made a snowman ⛄️ thank you for a great Christmas xxx

We didn't stay - we had booked a farm tour. Becky delighted us and our grandchildren by taking us round and feeding hens, geese and lambs. The kids loved it - and so did we!. Becky was a real enthusiast for the animals and it was a delight. We also had a brunch in the bistro which also was first class.

Had been looking forward to my stay for a long while and heard so many good things about the food, I did not expect just how beautiful the location and grounds were, or how spacious and cosy the cottage was with the most amazing view down the valley. The cottage had everything you could want and was so light , first time I have pillows that suited me down to the ground , never been so relaxed. I loved exploring the grounds watching the birdlife then popping to the Deli was treats, the cheese plate was exceptional as was the take away cook at home pizza and meals I had ordered to cook at the cottage. Cannot fault any part of my experience apart from having to leave. The staff were so friendly, welcoming and helpful too even when dealing with someone who,s brain had gone on holiday . Highly recommend as aget away from kit all treat or if you are a foodie.
