Dairy Cottage Nr Dunning, Perthshire

Dairy Cottage is a delightful barn conversion fully upgraded in 2004, with a bright contemporary interior, blending carefully chosen fabrics and antiques. It is just 3 minutes by car from the historic village of Dunning, yet sits in a secluded oasis on the north edge of the Ochil hills, invisible to the outside world. The only disturbance is birdsong and tumbling water in the stream next to the cottage. Visitors are free to explore over 30 acres of private woods and fields from which there are stunning views north over Strathearn to the Highlands beyond.

Dunning is a delightful rural village with a lovely park, all-weather tennis courts and playground. There are many golf courses within a few minutes drive, including Gleneagles. There are also opportunities to enjoy hill walking from the cottage door onto the moors above, and the nearest Munro is just 35 minutes by car. Dunning’s central location means that Glasgow (great shopping), Edinburgh (the Castle and much more) and Dundee (Discovery Point) are all readily accessible for day trips. Angling and water-sports are available along with a multitude of attractions in the area including castles, gardens and visitor centres. Other activities include horse riding, fly fishing and safe cycle routes. This is a really gorgeous holiday cottage in Perthshire and the location is idyllic.

This is an idyllic Scottish rental cottage set in beautiful countryside.
