Surrounded by beautiful countryside the village has a variety of circular walks on offer as well as a local shop, post office and two pubs.

 

The beautiful ancient city of Perth (10 miles) is just a twenty minute drive away and is teaming with sites to see and activities to try. With its waterside location on the bank of the River Tay, it is one of Scotland's most cosmopolitan cities , rich in culture and history displaying monuments, art galleries, museums, bustling cobbled streets, Georgian townhouses, restaurants, boutiques and so much more. This city never ceases to surprise you and you will not be disappointed if you spend a whole day exploring here.

 

The village of Auchterarder (6.5 miles) often known as ‘Lang Toun' is not one to be missed as it has the longest street in Scotland. It has spectacular countryside views and is filled with bustling shops, cafes and restaurants, also home to the very famous Gleneagles Hotel which is prestigious in the world of golfing. Even if golf is not your sport, you will find this attractive little village a hidden gem to explore.

The cottage is located in a beautiful area. The views from the property are stunning. The owners ( bob & Susan ) are very welcoming and pleasant to talk with. The cottage is equipped with everything you need for a short stay. The heating gets the cottage warm in a matter of minutes and the hot water is ready to use in 5 mins. We stayed for 4 nightsRead more and if we could have we would have stayed longer. I have already recommended the property to my in-laws and parents. Hide

Well positioned for the east of the Trossachs, Fife and the East coast. Quiet and very clean. Appreciated the accommodation of two dogs. Pretty village with a nice pub and a useful shop one and a half miles away. Pleasant couple, who are there for when you need them but respectful of your solitude otherwise.

Perfect for 2 and the dogs. It's a lovely clean and well designed place to stay with aIl the basics you need. It's central to Sterling and Perth, two places full of history and for some retail therapy. A 3/4 of an hour drive and you can find yourself at Carnoustie and having a day out on the beach.
