About this property

Charming steading conversion in rural Scotland. Self catering, sleeps 6.

Ballinduin Bothy is located midway between the delightful Perthshire towns of Pitlochry and Aberfeldy and about one mile from the picturesque villages of Strathtay and Grandtully which straddle the river Tay. Built in the latter half of the 19th century, the Bothy was converted approximately 50 years ago, underwent a full refurbishment in 2014 and is finished to a high standard. There are truly stunning views from the lounge windows and garden to the south and west up the Tay valley towards Aberfeldy. Visiting wildlife comprise a host of birds and resident families of red squirrels as well as stoats, hares, rabbits and an occasional deer.

You will be ideally situated to explore Highland Perthshire, visit the many local attractions and take part in a host of varied activities. These include water sports on the river Tay and loch Tay, walking at any degree of difficulty from a stroll along the Tay to scaling the heights of Ben Lawers, cycling on the many local tracks or a round of golf at the 9 hole course in Strathtay. The Birks cinema in Aberfeldy and the Festival theatre in Pitlochry are close enough to take in a show in the evenings and there are numerous restaurants, shops and pubs in these towns. In Strathtay itself, there is a small grocer/post office and in Grandtully a pub/restaurant, a hotel and famous prize winning chocolatier.

Great holiday home.
Great holiday home in an amazing place. Red squirrels, hares, pheasants and red legged partridges in the garden kept us all on watch and beautiful starry night skies. The property was amazing and very spacious.

Fantastisch!!
Een prachtig huis, tot in de details afgewerkt en werkelijk overal is aan gedacht. Het uitzicht is adembenemend, fazanten, patrijzen en eekhoorns lopen door de tuin. De omgeving is nog mooier en er is genoeg te doen. Het huis zelf is de eerste keer niet heel makkelijk te vinden, maar wij kwamen aan in het donker. Eenmaal bekend, dan is het zeer gemakkelijk. Een aanrader!!

Scottish Perfection
Well-appointed property with great views of the highlands. It is well located for day driving trips to many of Scotland's iconic sites, as well as local interests for more relaxing days. Our host, Stewart could not have been more responsive to any of our questions or needs. He even came to the rescue -- power saw in hand -- to clear a fallen tree from the driveway one morning on our way out. "The Bothy" is the perfect place to stay to compliment the attractions of Scotland. John, Liz, Bob & Judy
