The Firs

We visited Blair Atholl during our 'let's celebrate 50 years of friendhip' trip to Scotland and had a two night stay at The Firs. When we arrived by train, we were greeted warmly by Lindsay, who immediately made us feel very welcome. Being from the Continent, we really enjoyed the spacious room and its 'classic scottish' set-up. Our room was equipped with a double plus a single bed with big and cozy pillows and duvets. Everything was immaculately clean. Breakfast was great. Everything came as ordered the night before (which is absolutely fine so Pauline & Lindsay have time to prepare and nothing gets wasted) Top quality, fresh, local, home made jam & yoghurts, great coffee and a smoked fish whose name I forgot but that was absolutely outstanding. Lindsay and Pauline are excellent hosts, very friendly and helpful and really interested in their guests in a very lovely manner. Other reviers have mentioned the extra mile, and that is absolutely true. A truly great B&B experience. Highly recommended, would come again. Thank you very much Jörn & Ollie

The accommodation was first class. Delightful and comfortable bedroom, everything clean and spotless. The hosts welcoming and helpful. Plus,great breakfast!. Would certainly visit again when in the area Thank you Pauline and Lindsay for your help and advice on things local Pat and Tony Jackson

Had a great stay at The Firs after being stranded on the A9 due to weather. Lindsay and Pauline could not have been more accommodating offering us soup and toasties on our arrival at 8pm. Our room was very comfortable and spotless and breakfast next morning was fantastic with a great choice to suit anyone. Would definitely recommend this place to stay.

Hotel full of character,very tastefully decorated throughout, breakfast delicious and Pauline Leslie were just such helpful, friendly and a lovely host. We felt we had known them long time so relaxed and welcoming. Thanks.

Hosts were different class and explained everything in detail to perfection. Conversation between Lindsay and Pauline was always interesting. We would certainly consider returning to the firs in the future. Tom and Mary .

Recently Stayed at The Firs and was Not Disappointed. Pauline and Lindsay were Outstanding Hosts. I had come down From Aviemore by train and Lindsay was there to Pick up My Luggage and take back to the Firs and give some Great Advice on where to Eat, and places to visit while in Blair Atholl, I very Much Appreciated this as this gave me most of the Afternoon to Explore Blair Castle. Pauline was Wonderful Each Morning, Providing a Good Breakfast to Start the Day and a Friendly Smile. The Firs is in a Centrally located position near Some Great Restaurants such As the Loft house Restaurant, and the Tualach, with the Bothy Bar A brisk 10 minutes walk next to the Railway Station. For those Looking to Get Out and About without a car, Blair Castle is just a 10 minutes walk. For those Hikers and Walkers I Suggest you visit the Falls of Bruar. This walk can be done through the Blair Castle Estate taking you to the Falls, again a little over a 90 minute hike but worth the Views and Beauty of the Landscape. Pauline and Lindsay i Can’t thank you Enough For a Wonderful Visit to Blair Atholl and The Firs Guest House. I Look Forward to a Future Visit.

stayed for two nights as I was visiting my family, so booked the Firs as the location was excellent and in such a pretty place. I cant fault anything the property had a lovely homely feel with the plush sofas in the living room with the roaring fire. room was comfortable and clean and the cooked breakfast was lovely, the highlight was getting to meet Lindsay and Lesley the owners, two lovely people and nothing was to much trouble, even when I disturbed them at 7am as I had forgotten to put my breakfast order in the night before. highly recommended

This was our second stay at The Firs and we had an excellent time. The rooms are spotless, the choice and quality of the breakfast is first class and Pauline and Lindsay are fantastic hosts. The Loft restaurant is excellent as is the Blair Atholl Golf Club. There are lots of different walks to do in the area and with Pitlochry being only a few miles away there is lots to do and see there too.

My husband and I have just returned home after a visit to Blair Atholl and a two night stay at The Firs. We had read many excellent reviews before booking, and as a result had high expectations! Those expectations were not only met, but exceeded. As our train arrived in Blair Atholl several hours before check in time, Lindsay very kindly offered to meet us at the station to take our bags back to the guest house; a gesture we greatly appreciated! When we arrived, we were greeted warmly by Lindsay and Pauline, who immediately made us feel incredibly welcome. We were shown the beautiful residents' lounge and breakfast conservatory before being taken upstairs to our bedroom - a lovely spacious room, exquisitely decorated with calm sage green and cream panelled walls and top quality William Morris bedding and fluffy white towels. The room had a definite Arts and Crafts movement feel, with beautiful artwork and accessories. The room was equipped with two comfortable chairs, a small table, flat screen TV, fridge, hairdryer, kettle, fresh milk in a mini bottle (refilled whenever required), high quality teabags, coffee bags, hot chocolate and biscuits - (which were all delicious!) - a wardrobe, bedside tables and lights. Big fluffy pillows, comfortable, spacious large double bed plus a single bed, which would make the room perfect for a small family as well as a couple. The modern and pristine ensuite included luxury shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand wash and hand cream and shower cap, plus a heated towel rail and illuminated mirror! Everything was immaculately clean. An iron and ironing board were available on request, along with top-ups of fresh milk. Replacement teas etc were readily available in the hall. Breakfast choice was huge! The welcome information pack includes the menu, and we were asked to put our requests for our breakfast in a box in the hall the evening before. We had no problem doing this whatsoever, fully appreciating that this would help Lindsay and Pauline, especially as it was explained that some items like porridge need to be prepared the night before. Breakfast was absolutely outstanding. Top quality, fresh, often local ingredients, even home made jam, made from their own home grown plums! A choice of fresh fruit, luxury yoghurts, butter, fresh fruit juice, a choice of cafetiere or instant coffee, a choice of teas, warm pastries, toast, cereals plus a huge variety of cooked options! Lindsay and Pauline were excellent hosts, so friendly and helpful - nothing was too much trouble. They chatted with their guests, and the dining conservatory had a lovely atmosphere. As guests came in for breakfast, we greeted each other, and everyone had glowing testimonials for their stay at The Firs. Lindsay and Pauline were so lovely, we were greeted by hosts, and left as friends. Lindsay even delivered our bags to the station later in the morning, ready for our journey home. Talk about going the extra mile! Absolutely the best B&B experienc
