Wonderful cottage, off the beaten track and surrounded by woodland and wildlife (including red squirrels that come right up to the feeders outside the windows). A converted barn on the outside, the interior is all clean, modern architectural styling, with the living space on the top floor. Well equipped, and immaculately tidy. There is loads to seeRead more and do in the surrounding area, especially if you like walking, castles, and gardens. The owners are incredibly friendly and helpful. Hide

I would certainly recommend this property, lovely clean, spacious property in a stunning location. Saw an abundance of wildlife, deer, squirrels, woodpeckers, blue tits etc. A walking path behind the house, so excellent forest walks. Within easy distance of Perth, Crieff and Edinburgh for day trips. Super hotels nearby for food.

If you want to relax in a peaceful location, this is the perfect place. Wildlife is plentiful in the garden and woods surrounding the property. There is easy access directly from the cottage to a network of walks. The single track road up to the cottage is part of the charm and means perfect isolation.

The location is beyond remote and absolutely gorgeous for it.
