Originally a horse engine house for a farm’s threshing barn, this imaginatively converted retreat makes a fabulous base for couples seeking a secluded holiday home in the heart of the blissful Perthshire countryside. Offering beautifully updated accommodation for two guests, the spacious and inviting hideaway also has ample room for a four-legged friend to come along to help you explore the southern Scottish Highlands. Enjoying a serene spot on a deer farm, this characterful, light-filled property features stunning timber beams, colourful decor, tasteful furnishings and an enclosed garden offering magical views of the surrounding hills.
A useful hallway has space for boots, coats and drying muddy paws before you head into the generous open-plan studio-style lounge/kitchen/diner/bedroom with impressive exposed oak beams radiating across the ceiling. With whitewashed walls and large picture windows, this is a bright, relaxing space: the cheery lounge area has ample seating and a Smart TV, and the pretty dining area is over by the windows, perfect for a romantic meal which you can cook in the thoughtfully organised kitchen. At the heart of the room is a sumptuous super-king-size bed. The interior is rounded off with a colourful, stylishly decorated bathroom. Outside, the garden is enclosed with a furnished patio making a great spot for dining alfresco and admiring the views as your pet lies in the shade. Please note the property is on a deer farm so dogs must be kept on leads. Parking for two cars is available.
The historic town of Dunkeld (6 miles) is a wonderful base for eager pets and their owners, with The Hermitage, Pine Cone Point and the Loch of the Lowes offering wonderful walking destinations. Tay Forest Park stretch immediately to the north, and the bustling city of Perth is within easy reach to the south (19.5 miles).
