About Suki Stobbs

Tim and I live on site with my family in The Farmhouse. We were born and brought up in Scotland. Property is our business and these holiday rentals are part of that business. I work from home so am delighted to bump into guests and have a chat! Feel free to ask about things to see and do in the area or further afield. You will spot me walking the dogs! Tim my husband is now totally involved with the business and can deal with any queries and all maintenance issues.

Suki Stobbs purchased this Cottage in 1995

Why Suki Stobbs chose Perth

We moved to this location from Fife. We wanted great views and country location. In fact the location is a winner for most people who come here - we are perfectly set up for the fabulous wedding venues in the area - especially Guardswell which is next door. Some guests want proximity to Dundee, others want easy access to Edinburgh and others want to be able to get to St. Andrews and all of the golf courses over in Fife or here in Perthshire or Angus. We took a few years to convert an old farm steading into the holiday cottages called Pitmiddle and Outfield. We are delighted with the result and opened for business way back in 2005, can't believe it is that long ago. Honeysuckle always existed as a little bothy so we decorated it in the same colours and promoted it from a long term rental to a holiday let. We have tried to cover every eventuality offering a 1 bedroom cottage, 2 bedroom cottage, 3 bedroom cottage or the 2 joined together to give a 5 bedroom cottage.

What makes this Cottage unique

We have evolved into a wellness retreat with 3 wood fired hot tubs and a wood fired sauna along with our wellness studio. There are plenty of cycle routes and walks from your front door. As you walk around up here you have the most fantastic views towards Abernyte village, The River Tay and King's Seat. You feel on top of the world - almost alpine (especially in the snow!). All guests can use the summer house above the tennis court and take in the rolling countryside around us. We are however only 20 minutes by car to either Dundee or Perth city centres. We now have the V&A museum in Dundee city centre - 20/25 minutes away We are 'quite green' - you will spot our wind turbine which we hope will cover our electricity costs - it's only a little one but we have high hopes! All properties have reclaimed wooden flooring and use a soak away drainage system. We also have our own private water supply with its water treatment room where the water is constantly filtered and backwashed daily. Pitmiddle and Outfield also benefit from underfloor heating powered by the ground source heat pump in Outfield. We hope too you will enjoy the animals round about. We had our own alpacas and hens but now we just have a few pet sheep and in the summer our neighbouring farmer puts some of his sheep in 1 of our fields. We do also provide satellite wifi for our guests which is now something I believe people come to expect. Help yourselves to logs, they all come from here.
