Ardvane B&B is run by Cor Smith. I was born and raised on a hill sheep farm not far from Pitlochry. I ended up working all over the world, first in technology, then as a fishing guide in West Africa and the Seychelles archipelago. I've come back to where I grew up, to raise my daughter in this wonderful friendly, active, outdoor community. Our aim at Ardvane is to blend traditional rural atmosphere with modern technology and offer you great quality, convenience and a flavour of our local community spirit. We practice continuous incremental improvement and genuinley welcome your ideas and feedback as to how we can improve.

Ardvane Bed & Breakfast is an historic Victorian villa (circa 1900) situated in the middle of Pitlochry on a very quiet residential street just 5mins walk from the bustling centre of town. Situated on the gentle slopes rising out of Pitlochry centre Ardvane has pretty views, catching the sun all day, which can be enjoyed from most of rooms, the breakfast conservatory and the outdoor patio. Inside, our rooms are equipped with fast free wifi, TVs and tea/coffee making facilities. We also offer our guests complimentary barista quality coffee, tea and cold drinks 24hrs a day in the breakfast lounge. Our breakfast consists of a buffet continental (with fresh croissants, cheese, cold cuts, yoghurts and fruit juices) and a full "cooked to order" Scottish (thick cut local bacon, juicy butcher made pork sausages, black pudding, beans, toast and eggs however you like them). All washed down with a range of teas, cold drinks and the latest Nespresso coffee. (we serve espresso shots, latte, americano, french press).
