The Gardeners cottage is absolutely stunning. We’ve had the most magnificent time in this little slice of Scottish paradise. The property its self is well appointed, beautifully decorated and really feels like a home away from home. It’s a spacious property but still offers comfort and lovely views. Every night we could see deer in the fields and gardens. We even had one deer walk into the garden near the living room doors. It was superb. The area is peaceful and tranquil. We slept exceptionally well due to the quiet surroundings and comfortable beds. The grounds are lovely, we went for an evening walk each night to enjoy the pretty flowers. The main house is magnificent to look at, especially under a dusky sky. We travelled out most days from the property going to Edinburgh, The Trossachs, The Cairngorm Mountains, Loch Morlich, Dunkeld, Pitlochary, The Hermitage and so much more. Perfect location for local amenities or travelling further afield with good connections. We will certainly be back. Thank you for a superb holiday.

Wonderful cottage set in stunning grounds. Lovely to have a downstairs bedroom and bathroom. Good range of kitchen equipment - could have done with a few more cups and possibly some pasta bowls. Water was rather hot but once reported it was sorted quickly. Was great being able to take our dog, but there is a substantial list of do's and don'ts, which would have been helpful to have known before we arrived. No information about the local area, but we managed with our phone searches. Blairgowrie has a large Tesco and a number of shops. For those that like walking, there are so many things to do within an hour's drive.
