Property code: OC-ROCKD

Nestled in the picturesque village of Scone, guests are encouraged to let their hair down and feet roam from this cosy base for four. In walking distance of the village’s shops and eateries and affording easy access to culture, country and coast, there will be plenty to write home about.

 

A family home at its core, this two-bedroom cottage offers year-round appeal. With ample space to spread out, yet exuding cosy, familiar vibes, it is an idyllic home from home for up to four guests and two canine chums. Fill your days with as much or as little as you please and treasure every moment in your private retreat.

 

A single-storey property, everything you could need, and more is carefully parcelled across the ground floor. Fire up the oven for family favourites and gather around the dining table to share plates and conservation. Later on, the light-filled lounge beckons with comfortable seating and a Smart TV, and is made even cosier in winter with the wood burner a-crackling.

 

Great for friends or couples, both of the property’s bedrooms are inviting double rooms. Pick your favourite and savour drawn-out mornings and early nights wrapped between soft sheets. Offering the best of both worlds, the cottage’s bathroom has both a bath and a separate shower, so you can wake up with an invigorating rinse or chill out with a dreamy soak.

 

Outside, the two-part garden will be an irresistible proposition for both two and four-legged guests looking to sprawl out in the sunshine. Featuring a patio seating area topped with garden furniture and a BBQ, as well as grassy lawn, you can indulge in energetic games of fetch with your pups before tucking into al fresco meals.

A very nice cottage, nicely furnished with everything that one would need, along with a very pretty private garden in a quiet residential part of Scone, very handy for going into Perth and other tourist attractions, yes I would certainly recommend as a base for seeing Perth and further afield. Plus a few handy eating establishments close at handRead more in the village and only 7 miles away from Perth City Centre, what more can you ask for. Hide

Rockdale is a beautiful little cottage towards the northern edge of Scone. Lovely size for family of 4 (if kids fine sharing double - mine loved it). Garden is a joy to sit out in the morning, south facing, hedgerows teeming with small birds making full use of bird feeders. Cottage lovely and warm, log burner a nice bonus (we only didnt use becauseRead more plenty warm anyway). The best, and most informative, thing I can say is simply that it was clear from the first interaction i had with the owner (arranging arrival), to actual arrival, that everything has been thought of, and arranged for you, with a very personal touch. This isconfirmed when you leaf through the visitor book and read heartfelt review after review, many of repeat visitors. Hide

Had a lovely stay in this well equipped cottage. Unfortunately the stoves hob didn't work but we were made aware of this from the owner prior to travelling and it didn't spoil our holiday as the oven,airfryer, and microwave was adequate for us.
