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.

Couldn’t fault the house or location. Everyone will be well catered for…books games & jigsaws. Kitchen is well equipped, even a small grill, which suited us.Bedrooms have plenty of storage space, very cosy and comfortable. Lovely welcome pack awaited us, too much for the 2 off us, so it did 2 days!Village has every thing you would need. The Handy shop, fresh produce delivered everyday, the butchers (or hosts), again great fresh produce, the deli, amazing things in there and the bakers/cafes.The village is so friendly and so many great walks on your doorstep…what’s not to like/love. Would definitely recommend! Thanks again

The property was not ready so we had to wait a couple of hours until the beds were made by the owner. So the cleaners hadn't been in to give it the proper clean which was disappointing. The house is lovely and beds were comfortable but it could do with a bit of updating. The welcome pack was a lovely touch with breakfast stuff from the butchers.The area is lovely and The Royal Hotel were lovely and let us wait there until the house was ready. We went there for dinner one night and it was amazing. I would highly recommend.
