Enjoy a grand country escape at this impressive manor boasting space for up to 23 human guests across 11 bedrooms. It’s set near the historic town of Dunkeld (3 miles) in peaceful Perthshire, and Dunkeld’s riverside streets make a lovely spot for a gentle dog walk, while the surrounding countryside is packed with trails waiting to be sniffed out.
Arrival at this impressive property is straightforward, with private parking for up to 15 cars and a handy boot room that’s perfect for muddy paws and walking kit. Inside, the manor features a grand entrance hall leading to several inviting living areas, including a main lounge with plush sofas, a snug with an open fire, a games room with a billiards table, and a beautiful drawing room. Two dining rooms – one grand and one more informal – give you plenty of space for meals, and the kitchen is designed for cooking for a crowd. Upstairs, the 11 bedrooms are arranged as two super-king-size rooms, three king-size rooms (two with en-suite bathrooms), three family rooms each with a double, king-size or super-king-size bed plus a single, two double rooms (one en-suite), and one twin room. These are served by three family bathrooms and one family shower room. Outside, dogs will go crazy for the vast 28-acre private garden, surrounded by woodland and with beautiful country views.
Dunkeld Cathedral (3 miles) welcomes dogs in its grounds and graveyard, so while The Hermitage (4 miles) is a National Trust for Scotland site with shady woodland paths, towering Douglas firs and the thundering Black Linn Falls. Further afield, Pitlochry (15 miles) is great for rewarding walks around Loch Faskally, and Perth (17 miles) offers riverside parks and grounds around Scone Palace, though please do keep them on leads around the peacocks.
