5 Customer Reviews

  • "We were a family party of 12 adults and 11 children aged between 6 - 84, EVERYONE had an incredible time."

    The house and gardens provided wonderful spaces for us all individually or in groups to play and socialise. (The non-Scots took part in our own Highland Games, the French learnt to play cricket....) As a group who all enjoy cooking, the kitchen enabled us to have a banquet every evening! Hannah and Sean were welcoming hosts, there if we needed them but otherwise unobtrusive.

  • "This is a beautiful property in an absolutely gorgeous location."

    We were lucky enough to see some deers and hares! Sean and Hannah were lovely and helpful and made us feel welcome. The place was clean and well maintained. There was ample space inside and outside. It's a great place for family get togethers and to relax. Local amenities aren't too far away- there is a co op and pharmacy 8 minutes away which was reassuring. I would definitely recommend Dungarthill to everyone and I'd love to come back.

  • "Amazing house in amazing grounds."

    Just back from a family gathering of 17. House was perfect, very spacious, comfortable, spotlessly clean and very cosy. Hannah and Sean were there to meet us and again at the end of our stay to make sure all was well. They made us feel very welcome. Can highly recommend this house.

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.
