Netflix Film Crew Stay

We had so many positive experiences at Altamount Manor. Just to name a few... Breakfast was delicious and always on time, Coffee / tea was offered whenever we were home. They offered bar snacks to those relaxing & working in the bar. Nicholas + Cynthia were very helpful with recommendations for restaurants and things to do nearby. The laundry service was very efficient. They even cleaned our muddy boats after a day in the field. They set up an in house massage for one of our crew. The packed lunches were delicious and always ready to go on time. The outdoor BBQ lunch was also great. The formal dinners were set beautifully in the dining room.

From Beginning to end, the service was wonderful. They were accommodating to our guests with dietary restrictions, both gluten free and vegetarian. Everything was always ready when we needed it to be. Ample parking. Great location, only a 5–10 minute walk into the town of Blairgowrie, 1.5 hour to Edinburgh and 1.5 hour drive up to the highlands. The bar was well stocked and they were willing to go out and get anything else we needed. They outfitted the kitchen with dinner and late night snacks for those who did not want to go out.

Nicholas, Andrew and Amy were all wonderful hosts. The rooms were cleaned daily and we were given fresh towels. There was ample space for all of our guests and film gear. The house itself had a fun Scottish manor vibe, in fact we were greeted by a suit of armour at the entrance every night. The town of Blairgowrie was adorable and the people were very friendly.

Fully Packaged Itinerary

We spent 4 days and nights at Altamount Manor at the beginning of November 2018. My husband and I had invited 20 guests (half from France, half from England and aged from 19 to 71) to celebrate my 70th birthday. 

We opted for full meals and bar service to be provided by Cynthia, Nick and their team and we all had the most wonderful time. Cynthia had organised a walking tour near the Manor, as well as mini-Highland Games in the Manor grounds and excursions to nearby Glamis Castle and Dewars whisky distillery, which were all great fun. Also for my birthday dinner she had arranged for all the male guests to hire and wear kilts (unbeknown to me) and for Scottish pipers and dancers to entertain us. 

The meals were all delicious, the accommodation very comfortable, the hospitality warm and the service impeccable at all times, and nothing seemed to be too much to request. Even the weather was bright and sunny, except for a little rain on the Saturday. 

The fact that Cynthia was bilingual (English/French) was obviously a plus given the mixed nationalities of our guests. Everybody, young and older, thoroughly enjoyed their stay and raved about their wonderful hosts, Cynthia and Nick, who also made everything throughout our stay so effortless and stress free. We will certainly consider returning to the manor in the future and we would highly recommend it to others.

Wedding Reception

We hosted our wedding here on 20th July 2019 during a 3 night stay. It was absolutely wonderful. The building has so much warmth, charm and character and it is beautifully decorated. Nick and Cynthia were so friendly and very informative and we felt we were in good hands when we visited before booking.

There were 29 of us staying the three nights and an additional 40 - 50 people for the wedding. We had the ceremony in the Terrace room, which is already beautifully decorated, although we added some of our own! We managed to have 8 large tables for the meal and plenty of space left over for dancing and buffet tables. All of our guests commented on how perfect the venue was. The catering was spot on with the meals and service being to a great standard. All of the cutlery and plates were also beautiful.

All in all, a great place for an event of any kind! We even saw the white peacock the day we left. Perfect ending to a perfect weekend! Nick must have been exhausted by the end as he did so much for us and was only too pleased to help.
