If you want to get on two wheels and make the most of beautiful Pitlochry and the surrounding...

Happy Easter from Wellwood
Wellwood House wishes all our guests and their families a very happy Easter! While the weather has been a little more snowy than usual for this time of year (not ideal for the Easter chicks, or lambs for that matter), that won't stop us celebrating with guests, friends and family.

In the latter part of last year Wellwood House was awarded another certificate of excellence by tripadvisor. Needless to say we are delighted to see that so many guests liked our home and service enough to give us a five star rating. As a listed building there are limits to what can be done, but if we can recreate a sense of this building's original grandeur, then we feel certain our efforts are not wasted.

Winter storms create space for replanting in Wellwood's gardens.
3, 20 metre tall, Cyprus pines, probably planted when Wellwood was built, were blown over in the winter storms creating an open area for re-planting. Davy, our gardner , has already cleared the area and has plans to create a feature to impress the Pitlochry In Bloom judges in August. Winning a silver award last year has encouraged us to try even...

Sometimes touring the Scottish countryside may result in one sausage too many! The option to have fruit, cereal and yogurt is a very welcome one. On the other hand, most every breakfast at least one person will say.."I really shouldn't but I'm going to have the full Scottish".What a way to start your day, crippled with guilt before you even set off.
If you can't resist the lure of the full...
