Large self-catering Holiday Cottage sleeps eight Muthill near Gleneagles golf course Perthshire


Large, self-catering Holiday Cottage, sleeps eight, Muthill, near Gleneagles golf course, Perthshire. This stylish, well appointed holiday property, Gowanlea, commands a very pleasant rural location opposite the village green in the heart of Muthill, a quaint historical village in the idyllic Earn Valley at the heart of rural Perthshire. One of a pair and deceptively spacious on three floors, it offers a perfect base to spend a relaxing break or an activity-filled holiday with ample leisure facilities at guests’ disposal. There is a large enclosed garden to the rear of the house with patio for enjoying al fresco dining. The famous Gleneagles with its golf courses and other outstanding sporting facilities is a short drive away with many other golf courses in the surrounding area including in Muthill itself. Superb walking, angling and cycling are all readily available or for a more leisurely break visit some of the many castles and stately homes in the area. Drummond Castle (3 miles), for example, features a superb Italianate Garden. The bustling market town of Crieff offers plenty of shopping and eating out as well as a good variety of leisure facilities including Crieff Hydro where there is a swimming pool and health suite.
For the children there is the nearby Ceramic Experience, Auchingarroch Wildlife Centre and Crieff Park with tennis courts and trampolining facilities. Twenty minutes away by car in one direction there is Stirling with its famous castle, Blair Drummond Safari Park, shopping, bowling and new cinema complex. Twenty minutes in the other direction we have Perth by the River Tay which offers Noah’s Ark soft play complex with indoor karting, golf driving range, ceramics, ten pin bowling and trampolining, as well as Perth Leisure Centre, bowling, ice rink, theatres and a wide variety of shopping opportunities. Scone Palace in Perth, home of the Stone of Destiny, is also well worth a visit. In Muthill itself is a good pub/restaurant, post office and shop. Living room with view to rear garden. Dining-room with TV and wooden floor. Large well-equipped kitchen with range (for cooking) and door to garden. Shower room/W.C. with large shower cubicle. First floor: Two double bedrooms, one with 5ft bed; one with built-in wardrobe. Bathroom/W.C. with separate shower cubicle. Second floor: Two twin-bedded rooms, each with sloping ceiling and large Velux windows.
