Absolutely gorgeous room with excellent facilities! Hilary could not have been more helpful. Stored my husbands bike for him. The property was exceptionally clean and well presented, better than some 5 star hotels we have used in the past.Located in Little Dunkeld, I would much rather stay here than Dunkeld itself. In a quiet street, with no through traffic. Parking available.Looking forward to our next visit!

We had a brilliant stay at the Merryburn this past weekend - our self-catering room was perfect: clean, warm, cosy and comfortable. Great water pressure in the shower. The teabags and milk were a really nice touch! …

Gorgeous self catering room. Everything well thought out and beautifully decorated throughout. Owner Hilary very welcoming. Great location, 10 minutes walk to Dunkeld. Beds a little firm but that's purely my personal choice. I can't wait to come back to stay here again.

Best place that I've stayed in a long time. A large double room with an ensuite bathroom and a kitchenette area for self catering. Immaculately clean, good bit of space and it was newly redesigned and decorated. …

Would highly recommend this self catering setup. The owner could not have been more helpful and we were able to lock our bikes safely away in her shed.  …

Newly refurbished, immaculate, lots of light and space. Had a well designed kitchenette with space to eat plus and an ensuite bathroom. Calm, tasteful decor. Hilary, the owner gives a warm welcome and as a local, she knows the area like the back of her hand and give you lots of ideas for things to do. The best place that I've stayed over the last year. ❤️
