About this property
Crieff 3.9 miles. Located in the countryside village of Ochtertyre in the Scottish Highlands, is this remarkable, detached cottage, Brackenhill. Enjoying a hot tub to melt your stresses away and a woodburning stove, so you can curl up and enjoy a hot chocolate, this pet-friendly home is ideal for both families and friends. Be greeted by off-road parking before stepping inside to discover the entrance hallway where you can leave your shoes and jackets. The bright and airy living space is the idyllic setting for you to unwind with a cup of tea and catch-up on shows on the Smart TV with Sky. Step over to the well-appointed kitchen area with a gas range cooker to prepare mouth-watering dishes and a washing machine and dishwasher to do the cleaning-up. When stomachs start to rumble, gather around the grand dining table to tuck-in and why not uncork a bottle of wine to savour a glass? Venture outside into the garden, where you are free to roam the grounds and star-gaze from the bubbling hot tub. As the evening draws to a close, retire inside and choose a ground-floor super king-size with an en-suite and a further super king-size or climb upstairs for a super king-size and a king-size bedroom. Begin your day with a soothing soak in the contemporary bathroom with fluffy towels, robes and slippers provided for your comfort. Enjoy a hot rinse in the walk-in shower whilst you indulge in our complimentary Gordon Castle toiletries which have been crafted using pure natural, essential oils from their walled garden, before joining the group in the open-plan living space for a home-cooked breakfast. Jump in the car to explore your surroundings, where you can walk through the rich woodlands of MacRosty Park, have a guided tour around The Glenturret Distillery or test your swing at Foulford South Wing and Golf Course.

Crieff, a famous tourist destination between Perth and Crianlarich, is located on the geological fault line where the Lowlands meet the Highlands. Crieff expanded due to its position and as a meeting place for the cattle business to fulfil the demands of an increasing Lowlands population between the 16th and 18th centuries, when it was a centre for cattle drovers. Crieff became a 'border town' as a result of the nature of these meetings or trysts, and its reputation for hanging punishment extended throughout Europe, with the remnants of the gallows on display at Perth Museum. In 1716, Highlanders returning demoralised from the Battle of Sheriffmuir burned down most of Crieff, and the current town layout was conceived by James Drummond, 3rd Duke of Perth in 1731.
