About this property
Rurally located yet just 15 miles from Perth, guests can enjoy the best of both worlds.. Located deep in the heart of an attractive rural area, these two holiday cottages enjoy a peacefully idyllic setting by the tumbling Fochy burn. A striking mill conversion, the Waulkmill Cottages retain original beams and offer beautifully furnished ‘upside-down’ style accommodation, which has been equipped to a high standard. Standing as a pair, they each boast private patios, and benefit from shared use of large woodland and grounds, complete with a hard tennis court and a games room with table tennis, pool table and darts.
They lie just 3 miles from the shores of Loch Leven and Lochleven Castle, the island stronghold served as a prison to Mary Queen of Scots in 1567, until her escape 11 months later.
Popular with fishermen, for its pink-fleshed trout, the loch is also a haven for wildlife enthusiasts, with the rspb Nature Reserve, Vane Farm, occupying the land adjacent. Historic Perth (15 miles) offers good shopping, restaurants and a wealth of diverse attractions, whilst Edinburgh and Glasgow are within an hour’s drive. Rosyth ferry port within half an hour’s drive. Kinross (2 miles) for golf course. Riding and sailing nearby. Shop and pub serving food, 2 miles.

This was beautiful holiday accommodation in a peaceful setting. Everything you require for a relaxing break. Milnathort and Kinross are very easy accessible by car for shopping etc. The city of Perth with all its amenities is only around 15/ 20 minutes away. We also enjoyed a lovely walk around Loch Leven.The patio area at the back , onlooking the stream and serene countryside would be great in the warmer months.My husband managed to see a pheasant, a dipper in the water and a squirrel running past on the patio all at the same time !

We couldn’t have had a better stay at Fochy Cottage. A real home from home, warm welcome from the hosts, beautifully decorated and very cosy and warm upon arrival in November. The burn running behind the property was lovely to listen to all day long, very soothing. We will be back!
