Jessie Mac’s

Excellent value and great hospitality here. If you’re in the area, I’d recommend it as base camp.

Wonderful, great, good, relaxed and lovely hostel. Delicious food, none of the allergies were a problem, we had two good breakfasts, no lunch are needed on that day. They even made some lovely tasteful cupcake’s. Even after 24 hours in a hot bag and bus the cakes were better than most cupcakes I ever eat before.
Every single product that Jessie Mac’s use is a local product or is partly a local product, this places do helps the local economy!
An other good part of this place: the kitchen: a real cooking paradise, a shame that we only cooked onion soup! =) everything was around to cook, to cut, to eat and to clean.
Jessie Mac’s is a LGBT friendly place, everybody can just be who they are and that is what I like the most. We saw that a lot of guest were family of each other: grandparents, parents and kids. But we were not the only couple there.
Birnam is a small village, it is quiet, they have a small supermarket, a train station, a bus stop and a museum. Dunkeld is bigger and 20 minutes walk from Jessie Mac’s (+/​-​1 mile) and a lot more to do. You can cycle/​walk and use quads to see more of the natural heritage.
If you want to do something (e.g. Hire quads or go kayaking) book the day before on the internet, because otherwise it is to difficult to find something.
The only problem we had that we absolutely had no clue how to lock our doors from the inside. But to be honest we were to lazy to ask the owners and we felt save anyhow.
