About this property
This 300-year-old cottage is surrounded by beautiful countryside, which can be explored on foot or by bike.. This delightful, detached holiday cottage, built 300 years ago as a farm workers’ home, has been lovingly renovated and is situated in the garden of the owners’ home, but is completely private and has its own garden. Accessed by a rough track, the cottage is located in the heart of rural Perthshire with uninterrupted views overlooking the surrounding countryside, yet is only 10 miles from the centre of historic Perth, with its museum, art gallery, theatre and shopping. This is an excellent base from which to explore the countryside, with its abundance of walks on quiet country lanes, cycling on dedicated cycle paths, golf and history. Close by is the River Tay, famous for salmon fishing, and the Tay’s tributary rivers (Isla, Ericht, Braan, Lyon, Almond and Dochart) all offer further opportunities for fishing. Gleneagles is a 30-minute drive, whilst St Andrews, Glasgow and Edinburgh can be reached in an hour. Shop, pub and restaurant 1½ miles.. 1 step to entrance.

We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It was lovely, spacious, and very clean. The welcome basket was a lovely touch. There’s a great selection of books for all ages and a few family games as well. The nearest stop is in the village, which is very handy. There are lots of lovely walks nearby, and we were lucky enough to see red squirrels, which was a real treat. Our kids loved the cottage, especially the evenings spent sitting by the fire.

Just back from our second stay at the cottage and we loved it just as much as the first. Cosy, comfortable and equipped with everything we needed, the cottage is in a beautiful location. We felt so relaxed and it was lovely and peaceful yet just a two minute trip into the village which has a really well stocked shop and a pub that serves great food. Fantastic walks in the area and beautiful scenery. We will 100% be back. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Great location, cottage just needs a few tweaks and would be perfect, the log burner just lets it down as would be a great feature for the winter, but no glass in doors and a grill on, so smoke ends up back in the room. If you just turn the heating up, it is plenty warm enough.
