  • "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

    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!

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.
