This impressive traditional stone house set in the secluded grounds of historic Drummond Castle sleeps eight guests and is superbly furnished, with touches of luxury throughout. With wonderfully spacious rooms, it is perfect for a large family or group of friends who want to spend time together in beautiful rural surroundings. The pretty town of Crieff is just 3 miles distant, while the glorious Trossachs are within 25 miles. The unspoiled Perthshire landscape is on your doorstep, with a wealth of scenic walks and bike rides to enjoy.

This lovely, light-filled property has a warm and welcoming atmosphere, with a contemporary interior that combines great comfort and style. Rich, velvety fabrics in vibrant shades add to the sense of luxury, while windows from all main rooms overlook the lovely, wooded grounds, enhancing the sense of tranquil seclusion.

The bright and spacious lounge has ample room for cosy nights in before the roaring wood burner. Three plush sofas, heaped with cushions and throws, soft lights and plants make this room a haven where you can relax after a day in the great outdoors. A hallway from a corner of the lounge leads to two inviting king-size bedrooms with excellent storage space and a sleek bathroom. This effectively creates a ground-floor wing of the house, ideal for different age groups. Next to the lounge is the light and airy kitchen. Fitted with oak flooring and gorgeous units, it has all you need to prepare a special celebration meal. From the long dining table and chairs, guests can admire the lovely views in comfort as they enjoy the feast and make plans for tomorrow.

Upstairs, each of the two beautiful boutique-styled bedrooms has en-suite showers and large window seats. Piled with cushions and looking out across the grounds, they are a perfect spot for curling up to enjoy a quiet moment.

Outside, there is seating in a pretty garden area and a small lake with resident swans within a 50-metre stroll. You also have free, unlimited access to the celebrated Drummond Castle Gardens throughout your stay. Said to be the finest example of formal terraced gardens in Europe, they date back to the 17th century and are familiar to TV viewers as one of the splendid Scottish locations seen in the TV series Outlander. Your pets are welcome here, but please keep them on a lead. There is parking for up to three cars in front of the house.

A favourite among lovers of fine food and drinks, Crieff is just 3 miles away and offers a lovely selection of independent shops and restaurants. Follow one of the signposted walks that run all around the town, or explore Glen Turret which runs up into the hills behind; in its lower part is Glenturret Distillery – the oldest legal distillery in Scotland – which offers tours and tastings. Visit Crieff Hydro for outdoor activities including a treetop high-wire course and segway adventure before enjoying a pamper in the health spa. If you’re keen to have a Munro in your bag of holiday souvenirs, Ben Chonzie in Crieff is considered good for all abilities, and if there are any serious golfers in your group they’ll be spoilt for choice – numerous courses are close by, including the legendary Gleneagles, just 7.5 miles away. 17 miles west, Loch Earn is home to a watersports centre where you can try your hand at multiple activities ranging from waterskiing and wakeboarding to kayaking and paddleboarding. To the south of the loch, 985m-high Ben Vorlich is a must-do if you’re up for a serious hike – the views from the top of the water and surrounding national park are stunning.

A lovely house in a beautiful part of Scotland, and ideally placed for visiting places of interest within reasonable travelling distance. Good range of shops and cafes nearby in Crieff. The castle gardens must be magnificent when in full bloom during the summer. Lots of nice walks within the estate grounds.

Really lovely house, done up to an excellent standard. Very special location, with free access to the castle and gardens as part of the stay which was such a treat. And very friendly staff there. We had a visitor at the kitchen window most days of a cheeky peacock apparently called Hector, which was great fun for the kids! Highly recommend.
