Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.

"Relaxing
Cosy and comfortable
Welcoming host
Plenty of safe space for dogs
So glad we chose it."
Enjoyed our stay very much. The flat had everything, was cosy and comfortable and made a good base for exploring nearby and further afield.
Stephen was a welcoming host and on hand if required. It was very interesting to hear about the vision for the grounds and very generous to share them, even with dogs!
The dogs having the run of adjoining field was a bonus.
So glad we chose it and would definitely recommend.
Thank you for your kind comments. It was a pleasure to meet you all, including the dogs. I am very pleased you enjoyed your stay.

"Our stay at this house was simply amazing."
The owner and his family are absolutly lovely, they have a huge garden, which you can go in at any time, lots of land to explore and the old house is taken care of with love and passion. The location is in the heart of scotland and therefore perfect to explore the country, go for long walks with an amazing view over city and landscape or just hang out in the cozy flat and read a book with a cup of tea. Overall you get so much comfort for such a low prize, we will definitly come back. Thanks a lot for everything :)

"The location of the flat was excellent for the travelling North that we intended to do each day as everywhere that we wanted to visit was within 1 - 1."
5 hours drive away - Scone Palace virtually on your doorstep, The Hermitage at Dunkeld -30 mins, Glamis Castle just over an hour, Braemar Castle 1.5 hours and The Scottish Crannog Centre at Aberfeldy 1.5 hours
The flat was very clean and had all the facilities that we required - and then some The central heating and hot water system being very efficient although the week we were there in September was exceptionally warm with the temperatures in the 20s all week
Only extremely small gripe was that the mattresses were too soft for us initially but we soon got used to them and had a few unintentional "long lies"
The grounds were well kept and were perfect for our daughter's dog as they stayed with us for a couple of nights at the start
The town centre is easily accessible either by car in two directions or on foot via a beautiful path and woodland walk for about 1.5 miles and has a Co-op, pubs and a fish and chip shop
All in all we had a very pleasurable stay and we would certainly recommend this property

Would highly recommend it. Dog friendly. The gardens are beautiful as was the Pinetum. Owners very accommodating.
Suggestion would be to have some paper information on local attractions. Also recommendation for places to eat. But we asked and got couple recommendations.
It was the best Sykes accommodation we have stayed at to date.
We wish the family all the best for their up coming care project.

Owner was there if we needed anything. My only moan would be that it said there was a DVD player and there wasn’t. This would have been useful due to very poor tv reception. We did manage to get our own Google chrome set up to their Wi-Fi which was very good. The weather was particularly good. So managed to get out and sbout

Much nicer and bigger than the photos make out. The beds are comfy and pretty much everything you can think of is provided. Cleanliness was really good too.
The owners were lovely, not intrusive but there should you need them. They even provided sledges for our children when it snowed!
The WIFI worked well, handy for teenagers. Amazing surroundings with excellent walks. Great for wildlife. Super quiet at night. The flat was lovely and warm as well.

Great base for exploring the area. Owner Stephen was on hand and very helpful. Lovely grounds. Access would be a little difficult for those not confident on stairs.
I agree the stairs could be a challenge if you are not steady on your feet. We try to keep them swept and in the winter we salt them to make sure they are not icy.

"I think the photos and description on Sykes' website don't do this place justice."
The apartment is set within the extensive grounds of a beautiful house and if you are a nature and animal lover it is the perfect place for a holiday. We absolutely loved visiting the horses in the stables right next to the apartment and the two gorgeous alpacas. We also had walks through the gardens up to the pinetum. The apartment itself was extremely clean, cosy and comfortable and very well equipped. If you are looking for a base to explore magnificent Perthshire I cannot recommend The Stables highly enough.

The property
Scone 1.2 miles.
This charming stable block conversion is situated alongside the owners country house, near the village of Scone in beautiful Perthshire.
Well appointed, with views over the tennis courts and gardens, this Scone cottage is ideal for families or couples wishing to enjoy time together in one of the most scenic parts of Scotland.
All first floor, and reached by external steps, this Scone cottage has a sitting room with a dining area, a kitchen, and two bedrooms including a twin room leading off the sitting room, and a double bedroom at the other end of the property.
The front of this Perthshire cottage overlooks the stable yard adjoining the owners property, while the rear faces the tennis courts and formal gardens.

Should you wish it, there is also stabling available on request.

Why not delve into historic Scotland on a visit to Scone Palace and its spectacular gardens, or enjoy a thrilling day out at Perth Racecourse?
This Scone cottage is the ideal base for exploring central Scotland with the towns of Perth, Dundee and Stirling all within an easy drive, along with the stunning scenery around Dunkeld and the superb Loch Tay.
A charming Perthshire cottage, with something to offer visitors whatever the time of year.
The village of Scone sits two miles north of Perth, and is correctly called New Scone to differentiate it from Old Scone, which had been a medieval village based around the monastery of Scone Abbey and abandoned in the 19th century. The new village was planned by the Earl of Mansfield, whose family seat is Scone Palace, and began being built in 1805. Old Scone had been the historic capital of Scotland in the Middle Ages and was the coronation venue for Scotland’s monarchs, atop the famous Stone of Scone. Scone Palace dates from the early 1800s in the Georgian Gothic style and is a popular visitor attraction open to the public, with rooms and grounds, including a remarkable pineturn. There is a selection of local shops and amenities in Scone, as well as Perth Racecourse, the two 18-hole Murrayshall golf courses, and a wider range of shops are available in nearby Perth. Scone is in the heart of Macbeth Country with his hill fort at nearby Dunsinane and Birnam Wood at Dunkeld. The attractive village of Dunkeld sits to the north, and the wonderful woodland walks at the Hermitage offer a great day out in the country. A wonderful base for exploring the south east of Scotland.
