Thistle Lodge

Built with accessibility at its heart, Thistle Lodge is a detached lodge with everything on the ground floor and step-free entry via ramp. The open-plan living space has full-height glazing overlooking decking and garden, where you can sit with views across the grounds. One bedroom has a double bed with ensuite shower; the other has two singles served by a family shower room. The kitchen is equipped for proper cooking, with gas hob and electric oven, while entertainment includes a large smart TV with Netflix and streaming options.

The property stands within 100 acres of woodland shared with other lodges on the estate, where you can fish for trout if you hold a licence. Three cars can park on site, and one well-behaved dog is welcome. There's an enclosed garden area with furniture. Auchterarder itself sits on a notably long high street with independent shops and cafés, while the Ochil Hills offer walking and cycling, Gleneagles golf course lies nearby, and an equestrian centre and falconry school are within reach. The essential services—heating, electricity, linen, towels and wifi—are included. No smoking inside the property.
