The Old Manse At Farleyer And Steading

Enjoying a fantastic location in the Perthshire countryside, this wonderful Georgian house has been thoughtfully renovated and stylishly updated to provide comfortable accommodation for up to ten guests in the main house. Just behind the impressive manse there is a charming converted steading which is both welcoming and quirky, and offers delightful accommodation for four further guests. Catering and housekeeping can be arranged and the house manager can also organise activities including shooting, stalking, distillery tours or falconry displays at an additional cost.

This magnificent property has been imaginatively furnished and decorated throughout, with large bright rooms, and a wealth of original features and sumptuous furnishings. The property offers a variety of rooms to relax in, with open fires and wood burners, and many of the rooms offer glorious views of the Perthshire countryside. All the exceptionally comfortable bedrooms have TVs and most also have en-suite facilities.

Entering this fantastic old property, you will find the traditional and elegant lounge which is a wonderful space to relax in, with wonderful views from the windows, plenty of seating and a roaring open fire. Further seating is available in the attractive and stylish dining room which is a perfect space for enjoying a formal meal or celebratory dinner. You can prepare your favourite meals in the light and spacious kitchen which also offers a more informal dining area, perfect for grabbing a snack or breakfast.
