Middle Lodge Castle Menzies, Aberfeldy, Perthshire, Scotland

Middle Lodge was completely renovated in 2003 to the highest standards and now offers really superb self-catering accommodation in the Perthshire countryside. The cottage is south facing (the garden is a real sun trap!) with fabulous views across the valley and nestled beside the historic Castle Menzies. This delightful cottage is very spacious inside and has an open fire in the living area (as well as central heating of course). On the doorstep is the award-winning 'The House of Menzies'- with an excellent cafe and delicatessan - a great bonus on a self-catering holiday!

Situated in picturesque Upper Tay Valley, two miles from Aberfeldy and amidst some of Scotland’s grandest scenery this is a wonderful place for a holiday. Highland Perthshire is ‘Big Tree Country’ and combines lush low ground with the rugged grandeur of some of Scotland’s highest mountains. Ideally situated for exploring Scotland, it is in the exact geographical centre, with Loch Ness, Aberdeen, Oban, Edinburgh, Glasgow, St Andrews, Inverness and the Zeebrugge to Edinburgh (Rosyth) ferry all within a 1½ to 2hr drive.

The Aberfeldy area offers amongst other activities, golf, fishing, distillery visits, theatre, hill walking, shooting, deer stalking, pony trekking and riding. There is also clay pigeon shooting, Highland Hill Safaris, and even gold panning not to mention watersports such as white water rafting, boating and kayaking. Recent visitors have commented that in 25 years of visitng Scotland they have never found such an enchanting and comfortable house. It is beautifully appointed – bright, cheerful, warm (even in the snow!) and has every comfort and convenience and a perfect location for a Scottish holiday.
