Large self-catering Holiday Cottage Dunkeld by the River Tay Perthshire Scotland

Large, self-catering Holiday Cottage, Dunkeld, by the River Tay, Perthshire, Scotland. In the heart of Perthshire, nestling quietly on a private, 1,200-acre estate in the mighty Tay Valley, The Coach House enjoys far-reaching views over a patchwork of farm and woodland. This smart colour co-ordinated property has been furnished with rich luxury curtains and soft furnishing and the property has its own garden; visitors have access to a network of over 6 miles of private estate roads covering the extensive grounds, which include a fold of highland cattle, and two small lochs, home to wild ducks and geese. Boat trips can be arranged to fish for brown trout, as well as angling on the River Tay, with some of Scotland’s finest salmon fishing. At the nearby Loch of Lowes, a visit to the bird hides is often rewarded by sightings of osprey soaring high overhead. Historic Dunkeld village (3 miles) is one of Perthshire’s gems, with a part-ruined cathedral, good shops and restaurants. Perth, 16 miles, offers large areas of green parkland, where sports matches, boating and putting can be enjoyed.
