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.

Beautiful cottage in a very scenic and remote location. It was wonderfully restored and the interiors had real modern style and character and made for very pleasurable overnight stay. David our friendly host, was very good at keeping in touch and popped by in person to check we were OK with a bottle of apple juice from the orchard which was quite delicious. There was also a treat basket with a bottle of Brut cider which was an unexpected treat.

Spacious and quite holiday let off the beaten track . Convenient for local facilities. Lighting in main living area needs improving and a washing machine would be useful.
