Property code: OC-90801

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.

Well equipped and comfortable house. Worked very well for a 70th wedding anniversary and 90th birthday long weekend. Having access to the gardens was a bonus. Very clean with good equipment. Everyone we met on the estate were extremely friendly. Thank you to Claire and the team who look after this property.

The house is furnished and decorated to a high standard, and is situated in an area of outstanding beauty. Its an added bonus to have free entry to Castle Drummond gardens. There are board games cards in the house. Our host was communicative and welcoming.

Thornhill House was definitely the best property myself and 3 friends have stayed in over many years. Very well equipped, great showers, comfortable beds, fantastic landscape and gardens just outside the door. Great fun watching the Hares chase around the field, and occasional visits from deer. Our only quibble was with the central heating which sRead moreeemed to have a mind of its own. We often arose to find the thermostat had reset to 9 degrees. Thankfully the property manager did fix this after we complained. Hide
