  • "We had a wonderful stay at Mullingar, it was such a lovely spot in pitlochry and perfect for us."

    The views over the village and the hills was incredible - although we were out much of our stay we all felt it would be a lovely place to visit again and had fantastic outdoor spaces we didn't manage to make use of. The one thing we felt could have improved it, would be cupboard space in the kitchen for groceries, as any we had that didn't fit in the fridge had to sit out on the kitchen tops.

  • "The whole family absolutely loved our stay at Mullingar."

    The property is well equipped with with everything we needed. The Little extras such as the biscuits, pint of milk and hot drink options were very much appreciated. The sitting area and beds are very comfortable and the lighting throughout the home makes the rooms cozy. The garden space is great. Our children especially loved the tyre swing, and made use of the selection of board games and the Badminton set. Thank you so much for our fabulous stay. We would definitely come back in the future.

  • "A lovely house in a very peaceful and beautiful location."

    Well kitted out kitchen and bathrooms. Very spacious rooms which gave everyone their own space if needed. Ample seating outside, as well as dining and living areas. We all had a super stay and since our grandsons gave Mullingar a well deserved thumbs up, we hope to return.

  • "We found mullingar to be a home from home, very comfortable, clean and well equipped."

    the shower in the main bedroom en suite was very good,/ bed comfortable with good linen. I would have liked black out blinds in the bedroom as I wake very early with the slightest light. But hey it was lovely listening to the birdsong and watching the rabbits playing first thing. We don't understand the streaming TV so we only watched netflicks and u tube which was OK. Not big tv watchers any way. All in all we loved our stay.

    Spotless cleanliness throughout. Ideal location. Perfect - highly recommended.

  • "Lovely property."

    We stayed in March. The main bedroom was very comfortable and the shower lovely. However the rooms the children slept in were less so as at least one had futon type mattresses which the children did not take to very well. Another point is the TV all runs through the internet which is fine if you have streaming subscriptions but if like us you do not then it was a bit rubbish as we struggled to find the things we would normally watch on an evening. The TV also lost connection numerous times when we were trying to watch on I player. Having said all of that we would consider staying again if we were looking for a property in the area the location was good with beautiful views.

  • "We had a wonderful week at Mullingar."

    A fabulous place with plenty of space for a large family group. Great location too...secluded spot but close to lovely restaurants, shops etc in Pitlochry. Don't miss The Bridge! Some great walks from the door. Black Spout was our favourite. Highly recommended. We don't very often say this but feel sure we will return! Great to have pet free too. Getting harder to find pet free properties these days. Thank you.

  • "Lovely spacious cottage."

    This is a true 6 berth property with room to move around. Lovely location at the top of a very step access road. it is a 10/15min walk in to Pitlochry if you are fit for the hill. Only two minor comments would be that the living room could possible have some more furniture/seats. A wee bit mean with the toilet roll allocation, think we had 1 per bathroom but other than that I would highly recommend this cottage. Unrelated comment about Pitlochry - it must be one of the most expensive places to visit these days with a pub charging £14.95 for a club sandwich & £6.95 for a pint of Guinness Ouch-come on Pitlochry.

    Up a very steep hill so not suitable for anyone with mobility issues unless you have a car.

  • "We (four adults) stayed here for four nights in early September during a period of remarkably warm weather."

    The house is spacious and comfortable, and the setting is quiet and secluded. The owners were very helpful with questions we had, e.g., about heating and hot water. The property is well maintained, appliances are new, and the kitchen is well equipped - even the knives were sharp! The house has a separate laundry room with a washer and drier which I think would be useful to mention more in the write up - it's really good to be able to close the door on all that. As we travelled from overseas, the need to bring oven mitts, buy toilet paper, etc. was not that convenient. I would rather pay a little more and have more supplies, like extra towels, provided but I understand that isn't for everyone. The one thing that I would have found helpful (and again this may be personal preference) would be manuals for some of the appliances, e.g., specifics on how to override the hot water setting on the wall unit. We worked out how to use the induction stove, but could not work out how to empty the condenser on the tumble drier (it was the last day so I didn't ask). I know we can all look things like that up online but on vacation I don't really want to look for the model number on the drier etc. These may all be obvious to the modern British family! But this did not mar our enjoyment of the property - it was top notch and I would stay there again.

  • "First of all I want to say that this property is in a fantastic location."

    We had a great time as a family and the owners were always on hand, especially when we got lost. The only issues were the internet, which went down quite a few times, the house was not particularly clean when we arrived, we had to go and buy cleaning products and do ourselves. Also, the listing never mentioned that, although Mullingar does not accept dogs, the cabin in the garden does, and whenever we left the doors open we had a dog which was staying in the cabin, come into our property, which is not great especially when there were people in our party who are allergic to dogs, and a child who is scared of them. There is no separation from the cabin in the garden which was a disappointment really as they should each have separate gardens or just be listed as 1 home.

    Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased you enjoyed the fantastic location and that you had a great time. The property is fitted with a high-spec mesh Wi-Fi system throughout. We did notice one of the routers was unplugged which may explain the temporary Wi-Fi issue you reported. We are sorry to hear the cleanliness did not meet your expectations; We have discussed this in detail with our cleaning team to reinforce our high expectations in this regard. The property has a garden shared with the other property Backstage as is described in the property listing. Re the dogs staying with guests at the other property, we recognise the point you raise and are currently reviewing the suitability of that property for dogs given the proximity to Mullingar. Thanks again for taking the time to get in touch. Property Owner
