Property code: 50619

This detached spacious bungalow with magnificent mountain views is the perfect base to make the most of the stunning countryside and time spent with your favourite people and pups. Bring the whole family – this property sleeps five humans and two canines. Stretch everyone’s legs around Loch Tay (12 miles) before returning to your beautiful home-from-home to dust off muddy paws and boots and warm up around the electric stove with a hot chocolate.

Relax on the sofa and enjoy the uninterrupted mountain views, with a content pooch sprawled out at your feet. Head into the large open-plan kitchen/diner and rustle up a tasty meal. Enjoy it around the solid wood table and follow dinner with a wee dram of Scottish Whisky to toast to the view through the French doors. When the day is done, rest weary legs in one of the three neutrally decorated bedrooms and wake refreshed to enjoy a coffee on the decked area whilst Fido sniffs around the fully enclosed garden. On warmer days, dine alfresco in the secluded garden and in the evening, spot stars in the clear night’s sky.

Let Fido take the lead on a walk around Tay Forest Park (10 miles), a varied patchwork of forests showcasing the stunning scenery of Highland Perthshire, with some of Scotland’s tallest trees and magnificent views. Hike to the summit of Ben Chonzie (14.5 miles) and take in the panoramic vistas, or venture into the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park (24.5 miles) and sniff every smell, fetch every stick and walk as far as your two or four legs will take you.
