The Cottage nestles into the hill and is surrounded by beautiful countryside in a tranquil and peaceful situation. The whole area is steeped in history and it is well worth while asking the owners to tell you a little about Strathearn during your stay. The four star grading is easily justified, in fact the whole presentation is much more akin to a 5 star property in our opinion.

Recently renovated and sympathetically and elegantly furnished the cottage has a luxurious, traditional Scottish charm throughout.
The Substantial open plan comfortable, drawing/dining room (table to seat 8 - 10) has oak floors and and original open fire. Television and dvd player, music cd player and access to broadband.

There is a very large well equipped modern kitchen with fridge/freezer, dishwasher, microwave and Britannia Cooker etc. A cook/chef can be arranged if required given plenty of prior notice.

The tiled porch at the side entrance has plenty of room for coats and boots with a dryer and washing machine.
Four large bedrooms and three bathrooms, two with zip and link beds, a king size bedroom and one with twin beds. High quality linen is provided and beds will be made up to suit, i.e. twins or doubles.

Equestrian sports:
