"This is by far the nicest holiday cottage I have stayed in."

It has everything you could want or need, along with lots of extra little touches, such as the fresh flowers and welcome pack. The bath was certainly a highlight, but I couldn’t fault anything about the property. Brilliant location and Júlia, the owner, was very helpful but didn’t intrude. Will certainly return in the future!

"We had a fantastic time a Strawberry Cottage."

The weather was very kind to us and there were great walks for the dog. The outdoor shower for the dog is a great bonus. The cottage had everything that you could want from a home from home. A lot of lovely touches like fresh flowers and a welcome package. We would defiantly recommend it to everyone.

"Strawberry Cottage is beautifully designed accommodation."

It was immaculate. Every turn revealed lovely touches with obvious understanding of how the house will be used. The beds are exceptionally comfortable. Bathrooms are luxurious. Living space relaxing and comfortable. The kitchen is perfectly appointed. Hosts Julia and Colin helpful and friendly. It is possibly the best holiday accommodation we have found to date.

"Idyllic cottage in an idyllic location to relax or use as a base to explore Scotland."

Built to an extremely high standard and with the finishing touches of a 5-star hotel, the cottage is in a league of its own. Despite the Scottish weather, I am sure this could be used all year round. It's also very well equipped with thought put into everything, including a handy pair of reading glasses in case you forgot to pack your own! The cottage will comfortably accommodate four adults with a large lounge/dining/kitchen area 2 separate bedrooms, a utility/boot room, and lots of outdoor space including a fire pit. The town of Blairgowrie is less than a 10-minute drive away yet you feel deep in the countryside. There are also many connected paths and walkways to explore. Fully electric with an induction hob, ASHP, underfloor heating, and a log burner it was very cosy and ecologically sound. There is also an EV charger and it's pet friendly. Highly recommended!

"Can honestly say this is one of the most well thought out properties I have ever stayed in."

Really lovely pieces of furniture including the dining table and dressing table stools as well.as supremely comfy beds and gorgeous bedding all top notch. Also though so many extras the sewing kit and first aid extras and that was just inside. Outside the fire out and barbeque with wood and firelighters supplied added to the special experience of the place and it's location. We even had a game of try at a game of swingball. The welcome pack was so generous with prosecco and marshmallows just perfect. The only thing which was a slight issue was the noise of the heat pump but wouldn't stop us recommending to friends or booking again if we can find a free slot. Loved it practical and luxury and also soothes the soul. We all need some of that these days. Also close to blairgowrie for grocery shopping and stocking up on essentials. Great location for exploring the local area we did pitlochry and the house of bruar, highland safaris and spirit of wood at aberfeldy, kenmore, birnam wood, the hermitage and dunkeld. So wish we were still there

Thank you for coming to stay at Strawberry Cottage . Thank you for giving such a full and honest review and I am sorry you heard the heat pump .We have had the plumber look at this and he has tweaked the settings to eliminate the noise you mentioned .we would love to see you return in the future .

"Wow Wow. Best stay in any self-catering accommodation for a long time."

Perfect rural location. Amenities close enough by car. Cottage had all that was required for a luxurious , peaceful stay. The stone bath was fabulous and used frequently after a good days walking. 2 cottages on site is a great number. Hopefully this won't expand .....too much and spoil the tranquility. We would definitely book again now we know the quality, location and area.

We are delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay at Strawberry Cottage and being such fabulous guests …thank you for posting such a positive review ! Kind regards Júlia and Colin Property Owner

"A five star rating doesn't really do this holiday cottage justice."

It's absolutely beautifully presented and was equipped with everything we could want or need like superb EV charging (such a relief) lovely wood burner, high definition telly, great wi-fi, utility room etc etc...). Julia put an incredible amount of thought into making sure we felt welcome and cared for, providing just the right amount of contact. As regards location, the cottage is set in a field with a good view and plenty of grassy space with swallows wheeling and diving between the cottages. There's plenty to do in the area too. We (myself and two older children) had driven up from Oxfordshire so it was a relatively accessible base for visiting the highlands (one afternoon, we made it up to Aviemore and climbed Cairngorm Mountain, for instance) but there are lots of more local attractions. We loved visiting Glamis Castle and going white water rafting on the Tay, both under 30 mins away. All in all, thoroughly recommended.

Thank you for choosing to come and stay at Strawberry Cottage and giving us such a positive review . You certainly packed a lot in to your stay . We would love to have you return. Kind regards Júlia Property Owner

"Excellent property."

The only fault was that we did not stay long enough!The owner went above and beyond to make this property a home from home. Brand new not very old when we stayed and would definitely stay again. If you stay, you will not have to worry about a thing as the owner has thought of everything for you!

Thank you for such a positive review , it is great to hear you enjoyed your stay at Strawberry Cottage . It was lovely to meet you and as we say up here .. haste ye back ! Property Owner

About the location

DUNKELD

Dunkeld 4 miles; Blairgowrie 12 miles; Pitlochry 13 miles; Perth 14 miles.

The River Tay flows through the small town of Dunkeld and there are plenty of places to enjoy the views, either from the cathedral gardens or from the Taybank bar where you might be lucky enough to hear some impromptu music performed. The town itself dates from the 9th century and boasts a wealth of history from the Dark and Middle Ages to more recent history with Thomas Telford’s bridge over the Tay. The forests surrounding Dunkeld and nearby Birnam are known as Perthshire Big Tree Country and are celebrated in Shakespeare’s “Scottish Play”. The Hermitage is a National Trust site of beautiful forest which contains Ossian’s Hall of Mirrors, a folly built as a tribute to the 3rd century blind poet Ossian on a rocky outcrop near the Black Linn waterfalls. With the Loch Of The Lowes nature Reserve nearby and also the Victorian village of Birnam with its famous Birnam Oak and a Beatrix Potter exhibition marking her regular visits to the village, this area is one of the most spectacular and varied in Scotland and well worth a visit.
