Dog friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 4 - Blairgowrie, Central Scotland

Ideal for a family or small group of friends, this delightful Scottish residence sets you up for relaxation and adventure in a peaceful setting. The four-person house is around 1.5 miles from the centre of Blairgowrie, a picturesque burgh set among the scenic beauty of Perthshire. Whether you're a keen walker, a cyclist, a birdwatcher, or a golfer, this two-bed dwelling serves as an ideal base for exploration.

This traditional home has been updated to an exceptional standard, with a spacious layout and attractive decor featuring elegant antique furniture, rich soft furnishings and plenty of colour splashes. Shelves filled with books, artwork on the walls and quirky ornaments make you feel like you've stepped straight into a family home. Another great feature is that there's an abundance of light thanks to a generous number of windows, many of them made from quality wood.

You'll enter into a bright hall that doubles as a conservatory, complete with a cosy seating area and with doors leading off to the other rooms. Step into the roomy lounge and sink into one of the sofas, perhaps lighting up the electric fire for some warmth if it's a little dreich outside. Adjacent to the lounge is a large, stylish kitchen with dark-coloured units and a central dining table for tucking into meals together.

Large glass doors lead from here to the outside space, so you can let the outside in on sunny days. From the hall/conservatory, head up a small flight of stairs to the first floor, where you'll find two cosy twin bedrooms. Each is decorated in warm, welcoming tones that encourage a good night's sleep.

One comes with an en-suite shower room, while the other offers a private bathroom equipped with a shower over the bath. Outside, you'll have a generous walled garden with a paved patio area with seating - excellent for sipping refreshing coffees made in the Nespresso machine. If you've brought the family pet, she'll love letting off steam in the enclosed dog run.
