Inchtuthill Coach House lies a mile and half down a farm road, close to the village of Spittalfield. Dunkeld lies to the west just 15 mins by car and Blairgowrie to the east, again just 15 mins by car.

There are plenty of places to visit whether it be a country house such as Glamis Castle, Scone Palace or Blair Castle, perhaps you prefer something more adventurous, you can try white water rafting, quad biking or perhaps a spot of golf! If walking is more your cup of tea then there are endless walks in Perthshire from a gentle stroll at the Hermitage in Dunkeld, to bagging Munros (a munro is a hill/mountain over 3000ft). There are plenty of gentle walks from the cottage including a lovely riverside walk which is part of the core path network. You can also walk from the property into the village where there is a coffee shop serving delicious cakes and lunch! There is also an organic farm shop in the village.

The Coach House is the perfect retreat after a day exploring this wonderful part of Scotland, there is a log burning stove for the cooler evenings or if weather permits a glass of wine on the balcony watching the sun set over the Tay Valley.

When at Inchtuthill not only will you be able to enjoy glorious views, riverside walks and genuine peace and quiet but the surrounding area is renowned for a vast abundance wonderful wildlife including fallow and roe deer, birds of prey, hare and much much more...

Nearby Dunkeld lies on the River Tay and is famous for its beautiful cathedral, and riverside pubs - well worth a visit. There are plenty of coffee shops, a great deli (delivery available) and a fantastic bakery (Aran Bakery) selling delicious coffee, sandwiches, cakes galore and wonderful homemade bread! There is plenty more including two art galleries, craft and interior shops, a butcher, whisky shop and chemist.If you have children then you can take them to 'Going Potty' where they can paint their own piece of pottery to take home.

Amazing stay

This is our second time staying and it was even more amazing than the first! Cannot fault this place, absolutely gorgeous location, beautiful spotless home with all the amenities you could possibly need. We were lucky to have lovely weather so just sitting on the balcony listening to the birds was absolute bliss! Hosts were wonderful and friendly, thank you for everything!

Just wonderful

Thank you so much for such a brilliant and peaceful place to stay. Right at the end of a long track within sight of the River Tay. This was a perfect place to return to after a days salmon fishing. I am going back later in the year for another fortnight. Very comfortable beds, great wood burner and amazing balcony with far views. Owner was lovely and showed me round on arrival

Delightful stay

We spent a few days here in autumn with our young children. Victoria and her husband were perfect hosts, happy to help with anything. The house is a lovely place to stay, its elevated position provides lots of natural light, and gorgeous views of the surrounding countryside. We were excited to see deer right outside the balcony one morning.

Estancia tranquila cerca de lugares interesantes

Lugar acogedor y cómodo para pasar al menos una semana sino más. Muy cerca se llega a lugares y poblaciones con pubs, tiendas, o lo que quieras. Y a la vuelta de nuevo al relax y tranquilidad. La casa es cómoda y funcional, las camas y cojines muy cómodos, se duerme confortablemente. El único detalle discordante fue el estado del lavavajillas, creo que sería necesario o cambiarlo o una buena limpieza como mínimo. Por lo demás estupendo.

Unser Urlaub in Schottland mit Besuch des Military Tattoo

Wir verlebten wunderschöne Tage in dem reizenden und traumhaft gelungenen Coach House von Victoria und Stuart. Wir wurden sehr freundlich empfangen und das Haus ist sehr liebevoll eingerichtet. Alles was man benötigt, um sich wohl zu fühlen, ist vorhanden. Stuart hat uns mehrmals super unterstützt, als wir ein Problem mit unserem Auto hatten. Wir sind ihm sehr dankbar! Sehr kommen wir wieder in das hübsche, kleine Coach House.

Beautiful cottage in a tranquil location

An absolutely beautiful cottage with exceptional views looking over the countryside. Accommodation located off the main road so lovely and peaceful but within a short travelling distance to local amenities, which include some impressive places to eat. Hosts were warm and welcoming with lots of local knowledge. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others.

Tranquility at its finest

He stayed 3 nights and wished we had booked for longer. Upon arrival the accommodation was lovely and warm with some little treats to eat waiting for us. Everywhere was immaculately clean. We enjoyed walks around the surrounding area and within 24 hours had spotted numerous deers,swans and birds of prey. Paradise in the heart of Perthshire. The host Victoria was also lovely and welcoming. We look forward to returning.

October at The Coach House

The Coach House is exactly as described and had everything we needed to enjoy our October break. The hosts were nearby if needed but very discreet, and provided local knowledge of roads and closures during the recent storm. The location is beautifully private and peaceful and only a short drive to the many local walks in the Tay Forest Park. We regularly said good morning to the wild deer and enjoyed the ever changing view from the balcony windows. The Coach House was an ideal property to enjoy some rest and relaxation, warm and cosy with the wood stove.

Our review

Had a nice relaxing stay at Inchtuthill coach house. Didn’t know owners home was right next door as the photographs on the website don’t show this. We were looking for complete , remoteness, peace and tranquility. Owner was lovely and very polite though. Left us to enjoy. Only small issues we had were the noise of the heavy rain we had on the roof and windows ( velux) in main bedroom which kept us awake most of the second night of our stay. It was so loud. Unfortunately couldn’t sit for long on the veranda because of the amount of wasps that seem to be around. We couldn’t open windows for long as wasps kept coming in. Not sure if there’s a wasps nest close by around the veranda area. There were no games or DVD’s at the property which we’ve always had in previous rentals. Had to go purchase a pack of cards and some dominoes. Also there was no Tupperware/ plastic containers to use for food reheating in the microwave. No separate bins indoors for recycling which we had to separate ourselves and bag. Beautiful location, lovely property, lovely wildlife, great area and very friendly hosts.

About the host

Hosted by Victoria Brooks

My family and I moved to Perthshire in 2003 from Wiltshire in England. The Coach House is very much a family run business. We love being able to share the incredible surroundings and wildlife - Inchtuthill is an incredibly special place.

Why they chose this property

The views, the peace and quiet and the open space! The property is secluded with stunning views across the Tay Valley towards Birnam Hill. The location is ideal being just over an hour from Edinburgh, 25 minutes from Perth and just 15 minutes from Dunkeld which we love so much!

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with the property for it's location. A hidden gem in rural Perthshire! The views and character of the property also helped! Just driving down to the property you are embarking on a 'wee' Scottish Wildlife Safari! Regularly you will see deer, hare, buzzards and the occasional red squirrel! It is always a good idea to have your camera ready. The bird life is also amazing.
Inchtuthill is named after the Roman Fort (Inchtuthill), behind the property is an old Roman look out point (not much to see but fascinating). Just over a mile away lie the remains of the Roman Fort, Inchtuthill. There is not much to see but interesting to imagine how it once was! You can read about Inchtuthill on Google.
The river Tay is just 10 minutes from the property.
