Award-winning holiday accommodation on stunning Highland estate near Pitlochry | Cottage in Blairgowrie
2 Bedroom Cottage in Blairgowrie
Located on the private 3,000 acre family-owned Straloch estate in rugged Highland Perthshire, this charming 19th century estate cottage is the perfect place for a peaceful rural break away from it all. Tucked up a beautiful glen on the southern fringe of the Cairngorm National Park, it feels wonderfully remote but is only 8 miles off the A9 (the main north/ south trunk road in Scotland) and the popular visitor hub of Pitlochry with its shops, cosy pubs and restaurants.
What makes this property really special though is the beautiful loch that can be glimpsed through the trees. Just 5 minutes' walk away, it provides a stunning ever-changing focal point to the estate. Enjoy a tranquil stroll around its shores, take our kayaks out for a paddle, go fly fishing for brown trout or simply sit and enjoy the sounds of the birdlife.
The cottage itself has been sympathetically renovated, combining original features and traditional décor with contemporary elements, resulting in a cosy and exceptionally stylish holiday property.
The open-plan ground floor features a comfortable sitting area with wood-burning stove (logs supplied), a sleek kitchen with stone worktops and dining area. Off the kitchen there's the a warm boot room with pulley for drying wet outdoor gear and a shower room with WC just off.
Upstairs, a stunning reclaimed roll-top bath sits alongside a modern separate shower. There are two equal sized elegant double bedrooms with designer wallpaper and very comfortable Hypnos beds (zip-link so they can be split into singles), feather duvets and crisp cotton bedlinen.
There's a charming garden to the rear of the house with a stream running through it and a little waterfall next to the terrace with outdoor seating - the perfect back drop for a relaxing drink. For children there are swings and a tree house style play frame with slide. The garden is securely fenced to keep children and dogs safe.
The games room (shared with the house next door) has a pool table, table tennis and darts - perfect for evening entertainment or rainy days.
There's masses to do on the estate itself, including wonderful walks from your door (self-guided descriptions with maps supplied), kayaking, fishing on the loch (April to end October), tennis and wildlife watching, including red squirrels that visit the feeders in the garden.
It's a fantastic place for families too - children love cycling along the quiet estate road to visit our rescue donkeys and our friendly pet sheep and to collect eggs from the hen run in the Walled Garden.
The 5 acre Millennium Wood with its network of paths, lochans and unusual trees is a great place to explore and also for walking dogs as it's completely fenced (we allow up to two well behaved dogs, subject to our doggy house rules).
Keeper's Cottage is well placed for taking off on day trips, whether it's to explore the many castles of Perthshire, Royal Deeside, Aviemore, Loch Ness or St Andrews. Glasgow and Edinburgh are within reach too.
