The red stone town of Blairgowrie is situated on the banks of the River Ericht, where it emerges from spectacular gorges in Strathmore. With good shops and great restaurants, it makes an excellent base for exploring Perthshire, the beautiful Angus Glens and is a gateway to the Highlands.

8 of us were in the property and met our needs. Had a little issue with the WiFi on the first day but quickly sorted the next morning by the owners so happy teenagers! Beds comfy and lovely surroundings, the only slightly negative point was that the shower pressure was quite low. If you are looking for a rural get away weâd definitely recommend.
