Gorgeous place, beautiful garden, will be back!

Amazing old house with tonnes of character. Very spacious with 4 large bedrooms, and incredibly well stocked kitchen and utility room, and a stunning garden where we spent half the week. Every detail is catered for. Our daughter is under 2 but there was a comfy travel crib, brand new high chair, and plenty of toys to keep her entertained. Highly recommend this place.

Gem of a home in a beautiful town

What a great stay! Walking through the house, we just kept saying “wow!” Beautiful, spacious, clean home with character, great showers, comfortable beds, lovely back yard/patio, gracious and welcoming hosts, plenty to do in walking/short drive distances. Our three kids (6, 4, and 4) loved the kids room and allllll the books on the shelves, along with the charming Beatrix Potter Experience at the Arts Center just down the street and the sand pit at the playground across the river in Dunkeld. We took longer outings to Pitlochry (saw a show at the festival theatre), Aberdeen, St. Andrew’s, and meant to go to Perth, but also enjoyed the bakeries, parks, and walks closer to Birnam and Dunkeld.

Lovely house, lovely village

The house was a delightful place to stay! The beds, rooms, outdoor space, as beautiful as it is comfortable. We were a family of eight and the space was big enough for all. Communication with Sarah and Jamie was quick and friendly. Birnam and Dunkeld were fabulous. Shops and restaurants enough for us, and the lovely river walk.The first of us to arrive was a bit confused by the address being a name instead of a number- but we figured it out and checking in was easy.The house is full of wonderful art, and fabulous books. It has a very well equipped kitchen. We could have happily stayed much longer.

Excellent and well equipt for every age

Just home from our stay in this home. Was fantastic for all ages, my daughter loved playing the piano, my son loved getting the fire started with his dad, everything is thought of! Plenty equipment for cooking. Beautiful location. Just a little tight for parking but we still managed to get 3 cars in. ;) Only 10 mins from Pitlochry and 15 mins from Perth. Beds were really comfortable and pillows also great. Will definitely be back. 🙂

Quiet, Eclectic Decor, Great Location

If you're traveling from the US and take an overnight flight, be aware that there is a late check-in - 4pm - for this property. If you arrive in the morning, you'll need to find something to do or another place to stay until then . . .That being said, this is a spacious vintage home filled with eclectic decor and fun artwork in close proximity to Dunkeld, a fun little town with a pub, fish n' chips, a drugstore and small supermarket, and a few clothing and art/craft shops. The house has a well-stocked kitchen, two large bathrooms upstairs (but also a musty powder room on the main floor), and four large bedrooms, all with antique oak and other wood furniture and ample storage for your clothes. There are two large sitting rooms, one with a piano (unfortunately, out of tune when we arrived) and a guitar. The enclosed garden in back has places to sit and relax, and also a picnic table, and the landscaping is lovely. Everything was clean, and lots of towels were provided. The house is on a road, but we never heard traffic, only birdsong. Something to take into consideration: there is a steep, winding staircase that I had to carefully navigate (I'm an older person with balance problems).

So glad you had a good visit! Thanks for letting us know about the powder room - we'll look into that, and good to know also that the piano has gone out of tune. Come again any time!
