  • Charming Victorian townhouse in the peaceful village of Birnam & Dunkeld
  • An elegant and spacious home for friends and families to enjoy a relaxing break together
  • Great location in the centre of Birnam, next to the Arts Centre with wonderful amenities nearby
Property code: 90844

Retreat to this charming Victorian house, with an array of stunning period features, situated in the peaceful village of Birnam and Dunkeld. With wonderful amenities nearby and plenty of space to spread out, this is an ideal base for a group of nine and their two precious pooches to get away from it all.

Step inside this unique retreat and be impressed by the clever combination of elegant decor with ornate period features. Get lost in one of the many novels from the ground floor library, or drop into holiday mode by switching on the sound system. Upstairs, feed four-legged friends with something tasty from the period butler’s pantry, while down the hall, guests can prepare hearty platefuls in the well-appointed kitchen with a large Rangemaster. Serve up at the opulent dining table over laughter, storytelling, and glasses of whisky. When you’re ready for a good night’s sleep, the cottage has five individually decorated bedrooms, all equipped with en suites. Outside, watch the pooches play in the enclosed garden, while the two-legged friends grab a cuppa and enjoy it alfresco.

Your canine pals will adore exploring the charming villages of Dunkeld and Birnam. Meander through one of the best-preserved heritage villages with Dunkeld, while over in Birnam, a postcard-pretty village presents incredible architecture jutting against moody highland hills. Sniff out the pathway between the two villages, by following the beautiful riverside path that runs under the famous canopy, Birnam Oak. Try the classic haggis, neeps and tatties at one of the many dog-friendly pubs and restaurants within 200 metres of your front door, or catch a show at the Birnam Arts Centre, which is coupled with independent galleries and shops.

This is a really superb place. It's absolutely stunning with a great location; only a few minutes' walk into Dunkeld proper. It's quiet and very comfortable.

An interesting house, warm and comfortable. Plenty of space to relax with friends. Central location in Birnam made it easy to access local facilities, and there is a lovely river walk that is accessible through the back garden gate. We enjoyed our stay.

We had a wonderful family reunion at Drummond House. There were nine of us (5 adults and 4 kids) and there was plenty of room to both get together and retire to our own spaces. We really enjoyed both the house and the location, with those fabulous walks at our doorstep. Would love to come back!

A really charming house full of character which made our stay so much fun.
