We had the most wonderful time at Woodpecker/Pondfauld holidays! Couldn't fault the property or the cabin at all (yes, as per other reviews some of the furniture is a wee bit tired in places but that all adds to the charm and homey feeling). Wonderful hosts, Mel and Keith, greeted us warmly with fresh eggs from their chickens (delicious) but were also non-intrusive. A perfect getaway in beautiful, well kept surroundings. Peaceful yet so near to the town and places tour about. The way the cabins were laid out meant privacy and parking could not be closer. Woodpecker itself was like a tardis! Very comfy and cosy, yet spacious enough our pup still had a lot of space to investigate. The bathroom and shower were large, and the bedroom cosy with the comfiest bed and loads of storage. The kitchen was well equipped with a full size cooker, so no complaints there. Loved taking Murphy on walks to see the donkeys and it was such fun to watch the chickens wandering about. Listening to the birds was idyllic and it was really interesting to watch the bats too. We were very sad to leave, and will definitely be back. Maple Lodge is temping too as we were lucky enough to be offered a look round... We could not have had a better trip and highly recommend Pondfauld Holidays. Well done Mel and Keith, and many many thanks :)

Lovely place for a short break and very central for visiting other places in and around Scotland. Mel and Keith are very accommodating and will make you feel very welcome.

We had a wonderful holiday at Woodpecker Lodge Blairgowrie. The Lodge was lovely and very peaceful. The owners Mel and Keith couldn't have been more helpful. Lovely couple. We were there with our little dog Hamish who loved it. Loads of chickens roaming about. On arrival we were given fresh eggs and milk. Would highly recommend this Lodge. We will be back.
