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.

Lovely traditional cottage in peaceful surroundings. Perfect location for exploring the beautiful surrounding scenery. Enclosed garden ideal for a dog.

We had a lovely stay at the cottage. Love the location, feels so rural and secluded with farmland surrounding but only a few mins from the village with shops and 10 min drive to an Aldi, M&S food etc. We used it as a base to explore nearby (The Hermitage!) And further afield such as St Andrews, Anstruther (the BEST fish and chips), Aberfeldy and Pitlochry. The kids were thrilled to see the Highland Cows only a few mins from the cottage at Taste (you pass it on the way to the cottage!). The secure garden was great for our dog, our kids loved the little kids library in the bedroom. The beds were comfy, shower is really powerful and kitchen had everything we needed. The welcome basket with a cheeky bottle was really appreciated after our 6 hour drive! Thanks for a lovely stay and we would happily stay again😊
