Testimonials
We had some incredibly stunning days and Persie made our Wedding a very special one. Our friends and family were very impressed with the setting and even though the weather was nice all week apart from our wedding day, we enjoyed every minute of it! Thank you so much for being such a vital part in this, thanks to your kindness and grace we managed to have the wedding of our dreams.

We all had a great time at Persie. Location was great, the house was a good size and was very well equipped, especially the kitchen. A lot of our time is spent preparing and cooking meals (and eating!) and it was good to have such a well fitted out kitchen to work in. The games room was easily converted to a dance floor for a mini ceilidh on Hogmanay, which was fun. Normally we ask the housekeepers not to bother coming in at all and just do our own cleaning, setting fires etc. as we like our privacy. However, Gerard and Cherry were quite insistent that they would top up logs, set fires, maintain the bathrooms etc. They did a fine job and were very discrete. Gerard had chopped down a huge fir tree and had placed it in the hallway when we arrived. Overall, I think everyone felt that this was the best house we have stayed at and the majority have said already that they would like to come back this year.

Just to say thanks for your help in booking Persie House, we had a great weekend and the weather held up before the snow! We were all pleased with the facilities. Thanks again, and will be sure to contact you if I am part of any other large groups looking to get away.

Persie was one of the loveliest places I've stayed in - I could stay here forever!
