‘Pawse’ for a while in this peaceful escape, ideal for one or two people plus a pair of lucky pups. With a wood burner for cosy warmth and a safely enclosed garden where you can dine in the sunshine, it makes a great choice at any time of year.
The single-storey brick cottage feels like a home from home, with art on the walls and books on the shelves, plus a selection of board games and a Bluetooth speaker for entertainment. Leave coats and leads in the hallway before strolling through to the lounge/diner, which offers beautiful rural views and a crackling wood burner – perfect for curling up, with your pup at your feet, after a day outdoors. There’s a dining table for two and a Smart TV, ready and waiting for you to stream your favourite shows. The compact kitchen has everything for easy home cooking, including an oven, hob, fridge and microwave, and a washer/dryer that is bound to come in handy after muddy walks. At bedtime, settle your mutts and head to the king-size bedroom, where pale colours and soothing textures create a restful atmosphere. Ample storage is provided, and for relaxing soaks or refreshing showers there’s a pretty bathroom with a shower over the bath just along the hall. Outside, your furry friends can roam the enclosed garden while you enjoy a fresh-air meal or stargaze from the patio. There’s secure storage for bikes and private parking for two cars.
The charming village of Errol has a pub, shop and cafe, and you can stroll to the Sunday market and try the fruit-based tipples at the local winery. The village is located between Perth (10 miles) and Dundee (14 miles), surrounded by stunning scenery with a variety of walks, from moorland strolls to hilly hikes.
