Property code: CA084

This thoughtfully renovated cottage is set in a National Scenic Area, enjoying peace and seclusion amongst the pretty wooded hills of Perthshire and fabulous views over Loch Tummel.

This sweet holiday cottage is the perfect retreat for a family looking to get away from the distractions of the city. Set on an elevated grassy bank, it’s surrounded by woodland and overlooks the gorgeous stretch of Loch Tummel.

The single-storey property is a pretty, clapboard structure, surrounded by nature. Recently renovated, the rooms inside make the most of this setting, with picture windows looking out on the water and woods, and layouts that take advantage of the shifting light over the loch. Sweetly furnished in a subtle, romantic style, the cottage has a tranquil feel that will make you feel many miles away from modern life.

Inside, a cosy sitting room enjoys the prime view of the loch, with a feature window complemented by light, airy decor. The sitting room opens out into the kitchen and dining space, a lovely sociable area with a family table beside an open fire; the ideal spot to share tales from the day and plot your next adventure. Head through into your bedrooms: a lush double with natural colours, and a peaceful twin, both with lovely views out over the countryside and a real tucked-away vibe.

The outdoor space of the cottage might be the best part. At the back of the house is a beautiful patio area which sits in an ideal situation overlooking the loch, an inspiring place to sit with a night cap after a long day or with an al fresco dinner.

From the door of the cottage, you're in the heart of Perthshire. With the loch on one side and the mysterious woods of the Tay Forest Park on the other, you'll be spoilt for choice for things to do in your immediate vicinity. Head for a walk on a trail through the forest or spend a restful moment at the Queen's View Visitor Centre, with a good old Scottish brew in the lochside tea room, a pleasant 1.5-mile walk away.

If you're feeling adventurous, the climbs of Perthshire are at your feet. Head north into the woods and wilderness of the Cairngorms National Park, full of stunning walks, climbs and cycles to discover. You could even challenge yourselves to conquering the peak of Ben Macdui, the second-highest mountain in the United Kingdom.

Or, for a spot of town life, head to the delightful Perthshire burgh of Pitlochry, with tons of very Scottish pursuits to enjoy, from independent shops and eateries, to a tour of whisky distilleries, to theatre and local art, all 7 miles away and sitting in the shadow of this breathtaking landscape. Or, for the sport-minded, get in a round of golf, or a spot of fishing on the River Tummel.

This was our 5th, stay at Creag Mhor, its all about the views and the location, its stunning! You have relative, isolation, no neighbours, but can be in Pitlochry within 15 minutes, to the bustle of a Scottish town, where you are catered for by all means of shops! We stayed for 2 weeks, and you dont have to travel very far for beautiful forest and Read moreriverside walks. The cottage catered well for our needs and as Ive said previously, has a real homely feel. Hide

We have stayed at this cottage several times: the location and views bring us back. The cottage is about 30 minutes from Pitlochry where there is the COOP and cafes. Walking trails within reach of the property as well as enjoyable scenic driving. The cottage is clean and spacious. Whilst it is not luxurious, the amazing view from the lounge over LoRead morech Tummel more than makes up for this. A well attended bird feeder also adds to the enjoyment and serenity of the overall experience. Hide

A spacious & very well-equipped cottage in a stunning location - the picture window in the living room does the view across the loch full justice. Remote, quiet & very peaceful, with some good walks in the surrounding area. We really enjoyed our time there.

This was our third visit. The view from the cottage over the loch cannot be beaten and stays with us long after we have left. The birds constantly visit the feeders and every night we watched the bats take flight. The location is around 25 minutes from Pitlochry which has plenty of good cafes and a decent supermarket. The addition of a new shower aRead moret the cottage was a great addition. Do not expect luxury but do expect a beautiful location and experience to remember. Hide
