Heilan Roo Reviews

Steven
Heilan Roo was an amazing property. Everything about it exceeded expectations and the attention to detail from the owners was second to none. The little personal touches added to what already was a warm and welcoming home from home. Communications from Elaine before and during our stay were welcoming and provided lots of useful information which helped us make the most of our time in Pitlochry. Wouldnt hesitate in recommending this amazing property.
Lynsey
Heilan Roo looks beautiful online, but to see it in reality is something else altogether. Absolutely stunning property. The design, space, accessibility, facilities and attention to detail is all top notch. Elaine is a fantastic communicator from booking to departure. Enough helpful info without being over bearing. We will definitely be back
The property was pretty fantastic all round and calnnot be faulted in any way. Even our 2 Teens thought the stay over Christmas was magical. The property was beautifully and tastefully decorated with Christmas decor which added greatly to the experience. The hot tub was a great addition and well used by the teens.
Andrew
Staying at Heilan Roo was a great experience. If you go away on Holiday then you really want your accommodation to at least match the standards you are used to at home and Heilan Roo will exceed those for most people. It is beautiful and so well done. Designed in a lovely modern style with large open plan living areas and also built to a fine standard with thoughtful and quality touches throughout. Elaine also deserves a mention for her communication and obvious care for her guests, it all felt top notch! Heilan Roo feels secluded and quiet but actually has quick and easy access to the A9 for travel too. Overall, my stay was a really good experience and feels like standards for others to follow!
The most stunning place you will ever stay! Lots of little personal touches which you dont usually have. Responsive owner if you have any questions. Lots of ideas given on the local area for things to do. We didnt go out much as we were happy in this beautiful house & garden. Very comfortable beds. Big fluffy towels, hot tub towels & dressing gowns too. Extremely well equipped with all you need for your stay. We will definitely return to this little slice of heaven! Blissfully happy family
What an amazing place. The pictures don't do it justice. Central to most places. A9 road is 2 minutes away. It's just wow.
Rachel
Well what can we say about Heilan Roo. . theres not enough words in the dictionary to describe this very special place. A true slice of luxury, in the most tranquil of surroundings. Wow, just wow!
What an amazing, contemporary, spacious property in a stunning setting. Super comfy beds, stylish furnishings Set in the forest with well set out areas for hot tub, relaxing, bbq and firepit. Visits from local wildlife were the icing on the cake red squirrels, pheasant, buzzards, and a vast array of finches etc Highly recommended
Stunning house, we loved it, good access to footpaths and local attractions. Close to some great golf courses which is always a bonus, Very attentive owners who think of everything and left gifts and a lovely card for my wife's birthday We will definitely be back!
Amazing property with amazing facilities and amazing attention to detail. Elaine & Roo have created a fabulous, relaxing and truly wonderful space. We had a lovely stay with our older children and the family thoroughly enjoyed. From the bbq and fire pit to the hot tub, there is nothing they havent thought of and thought of extremely well. Elaine is on hand prior to the stay and during with lots of helpful information This is a very special poperty and wee all cant wait for our next stay
Gareth
Gorgeous property with 5 star facilities in an area of outstanding beauty. So many areas to explore in a relatively short distance from Pitlochry. We will be back
We had a fantastic family holiday at Heilan Roo, Elaine, the owner, could not have been more helpful and informative ahead of our arrival. Great garden under the trees with lots of wildlife to see and some amazing scenic hikes from the doorstep or close by. House had all the modern comforts you need with a contemporary luxury feel. Fantastic part of the world to visit
Everything about our stay was even better than we could have hoped! The house & location were wonderful & there was nothing we could have needed that wasn't provided for. We would definitely stay at Heilan Roo again & highly recommend it to anyone looking to stay in this beautiful area of Scotland.
Kirsty
We are just home from our 4 nights at Heilan Roo. It was the most wonderful trip and this stunning house just made it that extra bit special. A truly beautiful home with everything we could have ever needed. Communion with the property owner before, during and after has been a pleasure, this hopefully wont be our last trip to Heilan Roo. Thank you so much for having us.
We spoke with Elaine prior to our visit and had any small queries thoroughly answered. Heilan Roo is a truly exceptional property as is its stunning gardens and surroundings. We were a party of 6, celebrating a 71st birthday, so spent a very special week in a very special place. Two red squirrels were regular visitors to the peanut holder. Thank you so much and we will definitely return. Best Regards Peter & Carol from Durham
Just returned home from a fabulous week in Heilan Roo and could have stayed forever! Everything was perfect and so much thought and care has gone in to make your stay memorable. The indoor space was amazing but the outdoors was truly unforgettable. I will definitely be returning.
We rent holiday houses in the UK for many years and rarely are surprised but this one exceeded our expectations. It's a luxury accommodation designed to enjoy fantastic setting within pine trees. High quality furnishing, fully equipped modern kitchen, all very clean and all new. And attention to the detail in the decor. The location is very convenient close to Pitlochry and quick access to A9 road. Walking paths nearby. June is always beautiful in Scotland, we had a good weather and could enjoy the hot tab. If you like the pictures on this website, believe me, the reality is even better. We plan to return soon. Highly recommended. Thank you Elaine & Roo for sharing this place with others
Jonathan
This is a hidden gem, set in a peaceful location. Modern, luxurious property that is stocked well for a wonderful holiday. The decor is very stylish, a fantastic kitchen which has plenty of utensils to cook anything. The beds are dreamy and the whole place is spotless. The garden is beautiful, and just watching the red squirrels and the woodpeckers, and all the many birds that come into the garden is just so relaxing and peaceful. Lovely hearing the cuckoo too! Could not fault anything at all. Everything was perfect. 5 star. Will return.
Callum
An amazing property, host really nice and generous with her welcome packs
Christine
A perfect backdrop to a wonderful week. Heilan Roo was just as we hoped really well designed and appointed and very comfortable. The owners have gone to great lengths to make a unique and special forest hideaway. We would highly recommend a stay here.
What a fabulous property. It was stunning lots of little treats left for us. Beautiful location l. Could not believe the six red squirrels in the garden who would play and have fun. Hot tub great. Owners really helpful. Had the best time.
Fantastic house, accurate to the description provided. The garden is fabulous for nature, we had a variety of visitors including red squirrels, birds, pheasants and partridge. The kitchen is modern with a multitude of utensils, no need to take anything. The beds are lovely and comfortable. The only suggestion we do have is to consider updating the main sofa as its not quite the best designcomfort for older visitors minor point. The owners are friendly and kept us up to date with a wifi issue we had during our stay, this was not unique to the house but a 24 hr outage across Perth. Its obvious that much love and care has been given to the property, the design and organisation for guests. Thank you, we hope to visit again.

Heilan Roo is just lovely, beautiful location and the house is stunning with everything you could need. 100 recommend
Lovely holiday full of comfort and warmth even in February. Every facility provided for with considerable thought. Games table was a useful addition even for grown up boys.
Jennifer
This house is even more stunning than the photos suggest and they are excellent. The care and detail that has gone in to this is phenomenal. So many personal touches and every single element was taken care of. The quality throughout was 5 Star and all communication gave a lovely welcoming and individual experience. I will be recommending this to everyone I know looking for a place to escape as this ticks every single box.
Heilan Roo is absolutely beautiful and ultra comfortable, its even better in reality than it looks in the photos. A fully equipped home with everything you will need. Everything is top quality and high tech a little too high tech for me as a senior?
I recently stayed at Heilan Roo with a group of friends, and it was simply the perfect base for our Highland adventures. From the moment we arrived, it was clear we were in for something special. The welcome biscuit selection was a delightful touch, and set the tone for the attention to detail that runs throughout the property. Everything about Heilan Roo exudes luxury. The beds are exceptionally comfortable some of the best weve slept in!, and the showers are brilliantly powerfulideal for washing away the days exertions. After long days out exploring the local area, there was nothing better than soaking in the woodburning hot tub, surrounded by the gorgeous scenery near Pitlochry. The sense of peace and tranquillity you get from those views is second to none. Beyond the stunning interior, Heilan Roos setting is spectacular. It truly felt like a private Highland hideaway, yet it was still close enough to local amenities and outdoor pursuits that made our trip so fun. From hiking and scenic drives to cosy pubs, we never ran out of things to do, and we always looked forward to returning home to our comfortable retreat in the evening. If youre looking for a luxurious, relaxing getaway that still offers plenty of adventure on the doorstep, I cant recommend Heilan Roo highly enough. Its a gem of a place, and I cant wait to return!
Just one word 'wow'! ! What a beautiful, clean full of luxury place to stay. The owners were so helpful and the welcome pack was the best I have ever received. I would highly recommend Heilan Roo, this is most definitely the best place I have ever stayed in, in over 20 years of holidaying in Scotland. We cannot wait to return!
Jennifer
A fabulous house and very well equipped. A lovely welcome pack was left for us. We were so comfortable and the grounds are beautiful. The hot tub was enjoyed despite the very cold weather!
Carol and Douglas
Everything was perfect both in relation to the property and its location any communication we had in relation to any problems was acted on immediately and to our satisfaction. nice touch was the welcome basket for my 75th birthday totally amazing experience
Hielan Roo Has the Wow factor. The cottage is beautifully designed and has floor to ceiling bi fold doors to the front and rear. The setting is wonderful within your own forest with a small stream to the side and small waterfalls in the garden at the rear. There is a bbq, hot tub and seating areas at the rear set in a lovely garden lit up at night. The hosts were lovely and left lots of goodies for your holiday. This is certainly a lovely holiday destination. Elaine and Roo must be very proud of what they have achieved. We thoroughly recommend Hielan Roo to those looking for a special retreat. Karen and Keith
Kristina
Heilan Roo is truly a sanctuary with outstanding hosts. Our group was two couples and the layout was perfect. We absolutely loved the foldaway walls for true indoor outdoor living. Our group was able to see so many different birds and types of animals. The property has amazing views of Ben Vrackie and the trails are practically in the backyard. Soldiers Leap is also right across the street. We truly relaxed and loved our stay. Book this property. You will be so glad you did.
Fabulous house in a beautiful location! Our family had a great week visiting nearby towns, paddle boarding, zip wiring and relaxing in total comfort at Heilan' Roo! Many thanks to Elaine and Roo for their hospitality and for our stay in their beautiful house.
Heilan Roo is a stunning holiday let. The rooms were all spacious, comfortable and provide a relaxing atmosphere from the moment you arrive. The garden area is superb with the waterfall features, the hot tub and BBQ and seating areas. Plenty of wildlife visiting the garden with greater spotted woodpeckers, red squirrels, pheasants, nuthatch and many of the more common garden birds during our week. Lovely walks round about with easy access to Ben Vrackie and down River Garry to Pitlochry. Thank you Elaine & Roo for making this accommodation available for holiday lets and for the welcome hamper. Had a fabulous week and totally recommend this to others looking for a holiday let in the area.
If you are lucky enough to stay at this beautiful property then you won't regret it. It is absolutely stunning and very well designed, it has everything you would loveneedwish for in a holiday home. The view is breathtaking both inside and out, I could easily have stayed another week in this lavish house. I am already looking at dates for next year.
We recently had the absolute pleasure of staying at Heilan Roo in Killiecrankie, and it was nothing short of paradise! Nestled in its own secret forest, this modern contemporary home offers a serene escape that feels like a hidden gem.
