16 Bed Cottage in Blairgowrie

About this property

With 16 en-suite bedrooms, this spacious property welcomes large groups, multi-generational families and up to four dogs for a unique Scottish getaway. It’s located in the heart of historic Blairgowrie, renowned for its natural beauty and opportunities for outdoor activities. Stroll to the town’s shops, pubs and variety of places to eat, or head out for a round of golf at one of the championship courses at the Blairgowrie Golf Club (2 miles). Whether you like cold-water swimming, kayaking or fishing, the lochs and rivers in and around the town are ideal for water-based activities, while those who prefer dry land can head out on a local wildlife walk or one of the nearby walking and cycling trails, including the Knockie Path, Ardblair Trail and River Ericht Path. For skiing and snowboarding, head to the Glenshee Ski Centre (18 miles). Blair Castle and Scone Palace are both within 20 miles.

For those who want a holiday that’s truly out of the ordinary, this one-of-a-kind property is waiting to surprise you. Stunning rooms with ornate original features, antique furnishings and even a suit of armour make it a very special getaway, with a thoughtfully provided array of modern amenities plus entertainment options to suit every age group. Enter through the vestibule and into the hallway, from where you’ll find the grand dining room, which has space to seat up to 64 guests. Full of light from multiple windows, it boasts an open fire and a wood burner for cosy warmth throughout the year. Double doors lead to the incredible lounge, which has yet more stunning features as well as an open fire, bound to be your focal point when lounging on the Chesterfield sofas. Play some tunes on the grand piano or the gramophone, stream a show on the Smart TV or listen to music on the Bluetooth sound system – this is a great space in which to unwind. The commercial-standard kitchen stands ready to cater for elaborate meals, from hearty Scottish breakfasts to gourmet dinners. A dazzling array of equipment includes industrial ovens, a heated counter and commercial dishwashers. It is complemented by a kitchenette with a fridge, microwave and coffee maker – ideal for quick snacks at any time. The heart of the ground floor is the Pavilion, a central open space that can be enjoyed in many ways: a dance floor (with sound system, DJ lights and a disco ball), home cinema, karaoke, poker, pool, table tennis, beer pong, Cornhole (bean-bag toss), Xbox and even sumo wrestling. Another fantastic place to relax is the ‘pub’ – a comfortable room with cosy seating and a bar, which can be stocked in advance with all your favourite drinks (an additional charge applies). You can even pull your own pint. Handily nearby is a set of ladies’ and gents’ WCs. With direct access from the hall, four super-king-size bedrooms (all of which can be made up as twins on request) are located in the courtyard. Each has an en-suite shower room, one of which is an accessible wet room. On the first floor you’ll find nine en-suite bedrooms, four of them super-king-size with magnificent four-poster beds, and one a king-size with a four-poster. Two are super-king-size with zip-and-link beds, one is a double, and the last is a convenient family room with two super king-size zip-and-link beds. The second floor consists of a super king-size zip-and-link bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, a triple room containing a super king-size zip-and-link bed plus an additional single bed, also with an en-suite bathroom and, finally, a double bedroom with en-suite shower room.

The stunning gardens are another draw, with large areas of lawn perfect for pets and little ones to play in the fresh air. Set up some outdoor games, including giant chess, badminton, football and croquet – you’ll never be short of something to keep you entertained. Dine alfresco or simply sit and enjoy the view of surrounding trees and greenery – you have a choice of the large front patio or the fully enclosed courtyard, where there are seating and dining areas, and a charcoal BBQ. Adding to the convenience of this spectacular property is private parking for 22 cars.
