"This period cottage, dating to the early 20th century, is a sweet stone property with a gorgeous south-facing garden, perfect for a family trip or couples’ retreat with dogs in tow. Set in the historic village of Scone, beside the beautiful Scone Palace, there’s plenty to explore to inspire your holiday memories.

Step into this charming stone building to discover a gorgeous spacious lounge. Natural decor, pops of colour, and a wood burner create a relaxing environment to read, watch TV, or discuss the day’s activities. Head through into the kitchen to rustle up a family feast — there’s a lovely dining table set beside the window so you can supper in style. When you’re tuckered out from the day, find your bedrooms – two doubles, equally indulgent and restful – and a bathroom complete with a bath and shower to keep any guest happy. Outside, the garden space is safely enclosed with a charming seating area, and looks out on the village.

The village of Scone is a great place to begin your Perth adventure, with shops, pubs, and a park within a mile of your door. Or head to Scone Palace, a lovely 3-mile walk or drive from the property. The palace is a glorious example of Scottish royal architecture and is surrounded by extensive gardens and wooded grounds. Beyond, the River Tay breezes by, providing some wonderful walks to impress your dogs, and just 2 miles away, the city of Perth provides every amusement you could wish for, including galleries and more historic sites than you’ll know what to do with."

A very nice cottage, nicely furnished with everything that one would need, along with a very pretty private garden in a quiet residential part of Scone, very handy for going into Perth and other tourist attractions, yes I would certainly recommend as a base for seeing Perth and further afield. Plus a few handy eating establishments close at handRead more in the village and only 7 miles away from Perth City Centre, what more can you ask for. Hide

Rockdale is a beautiful little cottage towards the northern edge of Scone. Lovely size for family of 4 (if kids fine sharing double - mine loved it). Garden is a joy to sit out in the morning, south facing, hedgerows teeming with small birds making full use of bird feeders. Cottage lovely and warm, log burner a nice bonus (we only didnt use becauseRead more plenty warm anyway). The best, and most informative, thing I can say is simply that it was clear from the first interaction i had with the owner (arranging arrival), to actual arrival, that everything has been thought of, and arranged for you, with a very personal touch. This isconfirmed when you leaf through the visitor book and read heartfelt review after review, many of repeat visitors. Hide

Had a lovely stay in this well equipped cottage. Unfortunately the stoves hob didn't work but we were made aware of this from the owner prior to travelling and it didn't spoil our holiday as the oven,airfryer, and microwave was adequate for us.
