How to get to Errichel

LOCATED NEAR ABERFELDY IN THE HEART OF HIGHLAND PERTHSHIRE

Frequently Asked Questions

A lot of our guests have similar queries in advance of their visit. By all means get in touch if you’d like to speak to someone, but do check here beforehand in case the answer is here! Tap or hover over the question to get the answer.

PET POLICIES AT ERRICHEL

Do you allow dogs in the Deli/Bistro?

Yes - But before 5pm please, after which we prefer people only!

Well-behaved dogs are very welcome in the Deli & Bistro before 5pm, after which we like to create a more tranquil atmosphere, with just human diners. The exception to this is those with registered guidance dogs. If uncertain, give us a call.

Are your cottages dog friendly?

Two are, Two are not.

Both Margmore & Croit Ne Greine Cottages welcome dogs. Margmore Cottage in particular is a dog walker’s paradise! We do ask for a £40 cleaning fee per dog, as our housekeeping team must spend longer to return the cottages to pristine condition.

Our Garden Cottage & Tigh Na Faire do not allow dogs currently, as these cottages don’t have a gated outdoor space.

Are dog allowed in the grounds of Errichel?

Yes, but please keep your dog on a lead

Dogs are welcome here at Errichel, but as we have ducks and chickens wandering, and other livestock in the immediate vicinity, we ask that you keep your dog on their lead.

ACCESSIBILITY AT ERRICHEL

Do you have disabled WC facilities?

Yes. Our disabled WC facilities are located just off reception.

Our designated disabled WC conforms to the British standard requirement, with grip rail, low basin/toilet, panic alarm etc.

Is there level access to the Deli & Bistro?

Yes, but please let us know in advance of your visit

During the day, access to our Deli/Bistro is via our pretty garden with some steps. However, we are more than happy to welcome you through the front door, which is all on one level, just let us know you’re coming if you can.

Is there disabled parking at Errichel?

Yes, the parking bays just before the front entrance.

The parking bays on the left, just before you get to our front porch, are designated disabled. They are a short distance to our front door, via a gentle slope.

BRINGING KIDS TO ERRICHEL

Is there a kid's menu at Thyme Bistro?

Yes!

We have a yummy kid’s menu, made with all the care we take with our menu for grown ups! Check out a sample kid’s menu here but be aware that the menu is subject to change according to the best available ingredients.

What can my kids do at Errichel?

Under adult supervision, there's lots for kids to enjoy here!

Under your supervision, they’ll be able to see the ducks and chickens play, and purchase a bag of duck food to feed them! If you’re here on Friday or Saturday mornings until November, our fun, family-friendly farm tour is a must, plus a visit to the shop for an ice cream!

Can you provide a cot for my infant?

Yes.

We can provide a cot for an infant, in our cottage accommodation. The cots are high-sided foldable cots with a thin cushioned mat at the bottom. Please mention this when booking, and check that with us upon check in.

Does Errichel have baby changing facilities?

Yes!

Baby changing facilies are located in the Disabled WC.

Does Thyme Bistro offer high chairs?

Yes, please mention when booking.

We are happy to provide high chairs if you are dining with a toddler. Please mention this in the notes when booking your table at Thyme Bistro, so we can have everything ready for you.

MAKING THE MOST OF YOUR VISIT

Is there a farm walk at Errichel?

Yes - we will provide a map and instructions

If you want to explore your immediate surroundings, enjoy a potter around our gardens. If you’d like a more challenging walk, we can provide a map and instructions. Be aware that various stiles etc. must be negotiated. For a way-marked walk, the famous Birks of Aberfeldy and other scenic walks are a short car ride away. If you’d like a fully-guided tour, with a chance to feed our animals, secure a space on a Farm Tour.

Is Errichel near any secnic walks?

Yes!

Highland Perthshire is walkers paradise and the famous ‘Birks of Aberfeldy’ that inspired Robbie Burns’ poem is a couple of minutes down the road by car (or a few yards away if you’re lucky enough to be staying at Margmore Cottage!) A host of other scenic walks lie nearby, including the Falls of Acharn, St David’s Well, and Kenmore Hill.

STAYING IN OUR COTTAGES

What is provided in the cottages?

Linen, towels, a basket of logs for the fire, initial loo roll and bin liner in every wc & bin, tea towel, dish cloth, 7 dishwasher tablets, fairy liquid, tea, coffee, sugar, some milk, salt & pepper, hand soap, shower gel & lotion.

Do you sell logs for the woodburning stoves in the cottages?

Yes.

We provide an initial supply of logs which will last an evening or two depending on duration and size of fire. After this (or to stock up when you check in) we sell backs of logs and kindling from the Deli during its hours of opening.

GETTING ONLINE AT ERRICHEL

Is there free Wifi onsite?

Yes - just ask a team member for the Wifi passcode

We have free Wifi throughout the Errichel building, and in both our cottages. In the Rooms and Cottages, the relevant passcode will be in the room information folders. In the main building, if you can’t see any signage, just ask a team member!
