Dusky Cottage

Perth and Kinross offers easy reach to both cities and the Highlands, and Dusky Cottage sits at the foot of the Sidlaw Hills on a working farm, surrounded by rolling pasture. The cottage itself is a two-bedroom, two-bathroom property sleeping four, with parking on site and a log-burning stove in the lounge for cooler evenings. An enclosed garden with a barbecue overlooks the fields beyond.

The kitchen is equipped for self-catering, and essentials like electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi are all provided. The two bedrooms are spacious; a cot and highchair are available if needed. The enclosed patio gives a private outdoor space without the openness of a farm setting. Smoking is not permitted.

From here you can reach Perth and Dundee without much drive, and the Highlands, Stirling, St Andrews and Edinburgh are all realistic for a day trip. Families, couples and groups of friends find the rural location suits them equally well.
