Waterloo Farm House is a traditional, stone-built, C-listed, detached cottage with a generous-sized garden, providing a wonderful place for couples, friends and families to relax and enjoy this excellent property with the added benefit of all bedrooms having ensuite bathrooms. Set in the quiet hamlet of Waterloo, it is believed that the original properties in the area were built for the soldiers returning from the Napoleonic Wars or for the widows of soldiers who did not return from the famous battle. It is thought that Waterloo Farm House was built around 1815 and in recent times was a berry farm but is no longer a working farm.
This beautiful cottage has been completely rebuilt internally to provide a modern layout and was just completed in the summer of 2019, yet still maintains its original charm and character. The welcoming and bright living/dining room has large, comfortable sofas, attractive lighting and a wood burner ensuring this space is a cosy hub for guests to gather. Leading off from the living/dining room is the kitchen, equipped with quality appliances, and a breakfast area. There are stereo ceiling speakers in all rooms providing a shared sound system throughout the house or independent music from your Bluetooth-enabled device in your room if you prefer. The back door leads to a small patio where guests can enjoy breakfast or a morning coffee. There is a large enclosed lawned garden at the front of the property with a patio and garden furniture, ideal for an impromptu barbecue.
Waterloo Farm House is in a great location for exploring this picturesque area which you can do on foot or by bike and there are lots of footpaths and quiet lanes directly from the doorstep. The village of Bankfoot is just 1 mile away, with a pavement from the cottage and is very handy for a local store or one of the two local small hotels with bars. The attractive town of Dunkeld is only 5 miles away and makes a great day out with its historic cathedral and buildings, and a good selection of quality restaurants, coffee shops, delis, interesting independent shops, galleries and walks along the River Tay. Birnam is close by and is one of the best-preserved historic towns in Scotland. Shop 1½ miles, pub and restaurant 1 mile.

Lovely farmhouse in a lovely location. Three big bedrooms, all ensuite, living/dining room is very comfortable and kitchen is very well equipped. Outside is a fenced in garden for dogs, a patio with table and seating and an area for BBQ's. All in all a super place to stay.

We had a wonderful stay at Waterloo Farm House. The house was warm and spotless, beds were comfy and we had everything we needed, including a lovely welcoming pack. It was great having a secure garden for the dogs and we loved watching the deer in the next door field in the mornings. The location was perfect for exploring the area and we were very lucky with the weather. Thank you Wendy, Des and Jennifer for an amazing stay. We would love to return again.
