  • A traditional Perthshire farm cottage a great base for walkers and cyclists
  • Enjoy cosy evenings in front of the wood burner and wake up to panoramic country views
  • Explore the sights of the Highlands - lochs, woodland, and quaint villages
Property code: CA087

Situated between Scotland's two National Parks, this traditional highland cottage is nestled amongst stunning, rugged countryside that friends/families and their four-legged companions will love exploring. From its remote location, the views of the surrounding mountains, rivers, lochs and pine forests are beautiful. After a busy day of hiking, fetching sticks and watching (not chasing) the amazing wildlife, guests and their furry pals will be keen to return to this well-appointed, spacious property.

Charming and full of character, this cottage has been beautifully renovated to create a bright and airy home with plenty of space and light. On the ground floor, the cosy lounge with its wood burner is the perfect place for everyone to snuggle up of an evening. There is also a large country-cottage kitchen/diner where you can all cook/socialise together. Completing the ground floor is a generous bathroom with separate bath and shower and an equally generous utility/boot room for cleaning off muddy boots and paws. Upstairs, there are three lovely bedrooms with small, quirky doors and some slanting ceilings. Outside, dogs are to be kept on their leads due to the working farm, but once inside, they can go where they please.

Delightful market town, Aberfeldy, is 11 miles away with shops, eateries and its own distillery. It's a good base for exploring the Perthshire countryside, where you can walk, cycle, climb, canoe, fish or sail. Closer to home, the property is less than a mile from Loch Freuchie, where you and your dogs can enjoy relaxing strolls on the easier terrain. Kenmore, 17 miles, is at the northern tip of Perthshire's largest loch, Loch Tay. If you're looking for trails amongst the trees, head to nearby Tay Forest Park (11 miles). Other towns worth visiting are Pitlochry, Blairgowrie, Killicrankie and Perth (all within 25 miles).
