Overview
Property code: CA087

This traditional cottage sits amid some of the most beautiful scenery in the Highlands — dramatic and peaceful, the hills and streams of Perthshire offer a beautiful backdrop to your escape to Scotland

This traditional Highland cottage is charming in character and sits on a working farm in some of the most beautiful and rugged countryside in Perthshire. With views of rolling hills and farmland from every room in the cottage, you really will feel like you’re alone in the Scottish wilderness. Its remote and isolated location makes it the perfect retreat for friends and family who are seeking privacy, peace and tranquillity.

Converted to retain its traditional style, the cottage is welcoming and homely. Spacious and light, it combines traditional features such as Gothic windows and coombed ceilings with contemporary skylights and modern-day furnishings and fittings. The large utility/boot room provides peace of mind that muddy boots and clothing can easily be removed and hung up, after a day spent exploring. Through the use of little personal touches, this property makes a comfortable family home away from home.

Situated over two floors there is a large sitting room with the cosy addition of a woodburner, perfect for snuggling up in front of on those colder evenings. The kitchen/dining room is spacious and the perfect space to sit and chat with family whilst preparing those home-cooked feasts. The family bathroom with a shower cubicle is also on the ground floor. On the first-floor are the light and airy bedrooms with glorious views over the surrounding wilderness.

Outside, the cottage benefits from a large enclosed garden with only a stone wall separating you from the rugged Highland landscape. This makes the perfect outdoor space for children to run around in or to sit quietly and observe the passing native wildlife that regularly frequents these farmlands.

This was our second visit to the property but we were very disappointed this time. There were no shower facilities when we stayed as the shower was broken, this meant we had to bathe in water from the local stream, which was brown as the property does not have mains water. The lack of mains water should be highlighted as it means visitors need to bRead morering bottled water to drink from. The property is very basic, and does not feel very welcoming.
