Old Stones

Rural Perthshire sits between the Ochil hills and a working landscape that draws walkers year-round. Old Stones stands in Glendevon, where woodland trails begin from the front door and the wider region—Edinburgh, Perth, Stirling—lies within an hour's drive. Green Knowes Windfarm rises nearby; castles, gardens and distilleries scatter across the surrounding glens.

The cottage accommodates four across two bedrooms and two bathrooms, all on the ground floor. One bedroom holds a double bed; the other, accessed through a hidden bookcase door, has two singles. The living space centres on a wood-burning stove, with a sun room overlooking the garden. The kitchen is fully fitted—cooker, dishwasher, washing machine included—and there's parking for one car outside. An enclosed garden with patio and lawn adjoins the property, though access involves eight steps to the raised area. Electricity, bed linen, towels and wifi are provided. No smoking inside.

This works equally well for families taking advantage of the woodland access, golfers heading to nearby courses including Gleneagles, or anyone seeking a rural base without the drive to the Highlands. The Japanese Garden at Muckhart is ten minutes away; local lochs offer fishing; the setting is peaceful enough to spend time simply watching the garden from the sun room.
