Rossie Cottage

Rossie Cottage suits couples after a quiet base, small families wanting to explore Perthshire, or friends sharing a getaway. The detached property is a short walk from Auchterarder's high street, with its cafes, restaurants, independent shops and award-winning food vendors. Ground-floor living means one double bedroom, a twin room, a family bathroom and open-plan kitchen and dining area. Everything you need is provided—heating, electricity, Wi-Fi, bed linen and towels—plus parking for two cars and a lawned garden with seating and a barbecue. One dog is welcome.

The Perthshire countryside opens up from here: Loch Lomond and the Trossachs are half an hour's drive, Stirling Castle and its visitor attractions slightly less, and Gleneagles Golf Course is nearby for those with clubs. Blair Drummond Safari Park and Auchingarrich Wildlife Centre appeal to families. Walking, cycling and fishing are all close by. Whisky distilleries including The Famous Grouse offer tours and tastings. Note that while the cottage itself is level-access, there are steps down to the garden. Non-smoking only.
