Parkhead Cottage Kilry, Aylth |
|
This stylish self-catering cottage is located in the peaceful rural village of Kilry, set at the southern end of Glenisla, and with access to the southern end of the Cairngorm National Park.
Many walking and cycling routes go directly from the cottage: it is located on the Cateran trail which goes cross-country from Blairgowrie and north in a circular route and offers some wonderful walking. There are three local golf courses in Alyth, as well as the championship courses at Carnoustie and Gleneagles within a day trip. Horse riding, off-road adventure centre and Glenshee ski area are just a short drive away. Osprey nest locally and they can be seen fishing on the local lochs at Lintrathen and Kinnordy as well as many other interesting birds in the area. There are red squirrels in the woods next to the local school which are easy to spot and fabulous to watch.
On your return in the evening there is a well equipped kitchen as well as a laundry area to help you get yourself and your equipment ready for the next day’s activities. The sun streams into the kitchen/dining area on summer evenings, providing a wonderful setting for your evening meal if you have taken advantage of the excellent local produce and cooked at home. However if you wish to eat out there are many pubs and restaurants to choose from, including a local restaurant which offers Michelin recommendation 2009 providing exceptional cuisine. Or maybe you will just enjoy your evening in the cottage relaxing by the wood-burning stove in the cosy sitting room watching the sun going down. This lovely cottage is ideal for both a relaxing break in the Scottish hills as well as an activity holiday, taking advantage of all that Perthshire has to offer.
