Secluded Highland honeymoon cottage with private hot tub.

Clover Cottage, Brewlands Estate, Glenisla, Perthshire

Nestling in the heart of an ancient Highland estate on the edge of the Cairngorm National Park, the surrounding hills rising to 2500 feet, this 5-star rated 18th century cottage with private hot tub is in an utterly secluded position with stunning views towards the Grampians, yet it is only 90 minutes from Edinburgh and 35 minutes from fantastic cashmere, kilt and gourmet food shopping. Since half of our clients either become engaged here or come for their honeymoon, we can claim with justice that this is a very romantic place, well away from the stresses of modern life!

You can walk for miles from the doorstep, through a profusion of wildflowers (part of the glen is a wildflower reserve), or along woodland paths to the Fairy Glen, and the high tops. You can arrange to fish on the estate’s river, hire mountain bikes, or just relax in the hot tub, while our chef prepares a romantic dinner from local organic produce. We can also do your shopping or laundry, collect you from the airport, book riding or golf tee times or, in winter, measure you for skis, bring them directly to you and arrange lessons or a guide at Glenshee, 35 minutes away. Alternatively, take the breath-taking drive to Braemar (45 minutes) for dinner at the Fife Arms, or go to Ballater for lunch at Prince Charles’ new restaurant.

There are wonderful views from the bed itself up the glen to the Queen’s Estate at Balmoral. Lie there listening to your own Highland burn running through the garden, or sit watching the Highland ponies as the sun sets and the herons glide in for the night. The signs and sounds are timeless and very special – birds are plentiful and wildlife abounds – rare red squirrels and deer are frequently seen from the cottage.

This cottage is the place to find peace and tranquillity for your holiday in the Scottish Highlands. Close to the Queen’s and Queen Mother’s Balmoral and Glamis Castles and on the edge of the Cairngorm National Park, there is outstanding wildlife viewing, fishing, bird watching and other sporting activities along with whisky distillery tours, artisan food producers, castles and many other visitor attractions. Championship golf courses such as St Andrews and Gleneagles (home of the 2014 Ryder Cup) are within easy reach and there are over 30 golf courses within an hour’s drive.

There are not only numerous activities and places to see both on and off the estate (try our clay pigeon shooting, or one of our Landrover safaris, or visit a Highland Games or attend church with the Queen any Sunday during August and September. Because we try to do everything to make your holiday a happy one, we provide a full concierge service. We can also keep secrets so if you would like us to arrange some delightful surprises for your partner, just let us know!
