The Experience

A joy to arrive back here after a long day of walking/cycling/time on water and generally exhausting yourselves in the stunning countryside – you’ll find heated rails for wet gear, an enormous wood-burner in the open-plan kitchen/diner with a full cupboard of spices, herbs and olive oil to get cooks off to a grand start, even martini glasses for those who wish to sit in the window seat and chatter.

The two main downstairs bedrooms (one en suite with a bath tub and the other with a walk-in shower) have delectable looking beds, swathed in linen, and gorgeous views; upstairs you’ll find another, with twin beds and a bunk bed. There’s plenty of space to spread out with a little TV snug and a play barn outside, plus a patio with more views for al fresco summer meals. The stargazing will be superb.

There are good walks and cycles straight from the door – all you can see is hills and some other distant buildings from this rural idyll.

Reviews

Everything here is so beautifully done and has been so well thought through that you just want to open every door and cupboard to see what you'll find. The dried flowers hanging above, the hills arrayed outside, the kitchen window seat, even the larder and the bathroom wallpaper. It all just made me smile.

Location

The neighbourhood

Auchterarder is a five-minute drive and has a couple of decent pubs, a super Italian restaurant called Delvino (which also does takeaways) and a lovely little deli for stocking up, the Auchterarder Larder. Head to Gleneagles (four miles) for a very posh hotel, spa and perhaps a spot of golf. There are some grand castles to visit nearby, including Stirling Castle, and excellent fishing on the Tay.
