The location is frequently highlighted as wonderful, with easy access to local shops and sightseeing. The proximity to a family wedding venue is also appreciated, although one mention of noisy traffic suggests a slight drawback.

No smoking.. Located in the picturesque conservation village of Comrie, on the River Earn and in the heart of rural Perthshire, Arden House is perfect for couples and families as holiday base. Dating back to the 1820s, this semi-detached property was home to the Co-operative manager during the 1900s. It was then purchased by the current owners in the 1970s, and recently refurbished in 2021. The house maintains many of the original features and character and is a comfortable and welcoming holiday home at any time of the year. The ground floor is taken up with a spacious living room, the real hub of the house, which has cosy seating. A dining room leads off there, and there is also a modern fitted kitchen. The back door leads to a small courtyard with seating and a barbeque for al fresco eating. The first floor has three well-presented, spacious bedrooms: one kingsize, one double and one twin. The family shower room offers a large walk-in shower.
Step outside and the local pub, cafés and restaurants are a few minutes’ walk away. If you’re planning to cook, the village is known for its quality local butcher, greengrocer, baker and deli, and there is also a small supermarket. The whole area is perfect for the outdoor enthusiast and boasts many walks right from the front door, as well as cycle routes on quiet track to explore. Nearby Lochearn offers water sports. If you like a round of golf on holiday there is a local 9-hole course and many others in the area, including the championship courses at Gleneagles.
A little further afield Auchingarrich Wildlife Centre appeals to all ages, and is home to great fly-fishing ponds. The tourist town of Crieff is only a 7-mile drive, with a famous whisky distillery, visitor’s centre and historic buildings. Drummond Castle makes for a superb day out, dating back to the 17th century and sitting amidst stunning gardens which were used in the filming of the epic TV series ‘Outlander’. Stirling and Perth are only 25 miles away. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing escape to unwind with gentle riverside walks surrounded by magnificent scenery and fine places to eat out, or an adventure packed family Arden House is the perfect base.

We had a wonderful stay in Arden House. The location was wonderful and the street had lots of lovely shops. Wild Hearth bakery was a particular favourite!! The welcome pack was also greatly appreciated.

Had a great few days at Arden Cottage. It's a definite home from home, really comfortable and has everything you need. We were a family of 4 and our dog and we had plenty space. Murray was a great host, we'll definitely return.

We loved this cottage. We found it spacious with a well kitted out kitchen, large clean toilet and shower room and comfortable and warm living area and bedrooms thanks to a good heating system. Loads of parking spaces on the road and beside the building. There is a convenience store, vegetable grocers and butchers within 10seconds of our front door. Our host was very generous with the fresh butcher meat he left us which was of extremely high quality. So much so that I went next door to the butcher to buy more to take home with me. Local Taxi company readily available too. Would definitely recommend. The area is beautiful.
