About this property
This unique holiday cottage set in the grounds of Tullibole Castle offers luxurious accommodation in an idyllic location.. For a unique experience, look no further than this Visit Scotland ‘4 star’ standard former Scottish longhouse. The cottage has won an award for its conservation of original features which now combine with a contemporary twist to provide a private countryside retreat, far from the stress of everyday life. Set within the grounds of Tullibole Castle which dates back to the 17th century - tours can be arranged with the owner on request. The beamed living/dining room has wooden floors, exposed stone work and a comfortable sofa to watch the Freeview TV in front of the wood-burning stove. The spacious bedroom has a vaulted ceiling with beams and en-suite bathroom with large walk-in shower.
The wonderful conservatory, with its two glass walls, is ideal to enjoy an evening meal, whilst looking out towards the Ochil and Cleish Hills. The large enclosed garden is superb for long sunny days, and the strutting peacocks who share it with you will keep you entertained for hours. Explore the peace of the surrounding woodland and see if you can glimpse the kingfisher and heron that sometimes fish in the 16th-century castle moat. For that truly magical moment, meals can be taken in the castle by arrangement. Afterward, make your way back to your idyllic hideaway, detour past the 18th-century dovecote before meandering through the charming maze which has been created as a memorial to the witches who met their fate at the Crook of Devon Witch Trials. If you can tear yourself away from this idyllic location then golf lovers can enjoy a round or two at Gleneagles, Muckhart or Kinross. History, culture and the ultimate shopping experience awaits in Edinburgh, less than an hour away, as are St Andrews and Stirling. A 25-minute walk leads to the village (local shops and pub food).. 1 step to entrance.

We had the most amazing time at Tullibole Longhouse. The longhouse has everything you could need, very cleverly thought out, you don't need the TV when you have the most stunning views from the dining/conservatory area. We saw lots of wild life including red squirrels, the peacocks, variety of birds and small mammals, the grounds are absoutely stunning. Not a long drive to the town centre and lots of lovely places and things to do without having to do such long journeys. It is honestly the most beautiful place we have stayed in Scotland and would love to come back!

Lovely cottage. Lacking an oven and a much bigger tv and one that works. Seating in lounge is not comfortable but adequate. Views are terrific. Could do without the peacocks at 5 o clock in the morning. Owner helpful if a problem occured. Easy access to all local sites of interest. Would recommend for a weeks holiday especially including a visit to the Kelpies- not to be missed.
