Very cosy and warm guesthouse overlooking Pitlochry's hills, 1 minute walk from the village's main road. We had a wonderful stay in this accommodation run by super friendly people. A very generous breakfast was also served nice and hot every morning, just perfect to start the day and if you are planning to enjoy one of the many walks around the area. Would certainly recommend, will definitely go back. 5 star with no hesitation.

Great B & B. Lovely hosts and very central location. Room had an excellent view of the hills and the room had everything we needed. Breakfast was great. If I had to be really picky, the quorn sausages would be better swapped with Richmonds meat free.

Carra Beag is owned by a lovely family offering decent, dog friendly b&b. Average accommodation and breakfast but 08:00 to 09:00 for breakfast is a bit restrictive when on holiday. Whole building and gardens would benefit from some TLC as it has so much potential. In a great place to explore Pitlochry and the area.
