Perthshire

Perth and Kinross is a beautiful region of Scotland with a diverse landscape of mountains, lochs, rivers, woodlands, barren moors, fertile farmland and the river plains around Perth. Perth, known as the 'gateway to the Highlands', straddles the River Tay before it widens out into the Firth of Tay. It is an ancient town, having been inhabited by Romans, Picts and Celtic missionaries.

A Varied Landscape to Discover

The name Perth comes from the fact that the Romans christened their settlement here 'Bertha'. Through the middle ages and when it was the capital of Scotland it was known as St John's Toun of Perth and this association is retained in the name of the local football team, St Johnstone.

Perthshire is often referred to as 'The Big County' and aside from its own myriad charms its central position and excellent transport connections makes it an ideal base for exploring in all directions. Edinburgh, Glasgow, Stirling, Dundee and the Angus coast, the Cairngorms, Inverness, St Andrews and Fife in general are all perfectly feasible for enjoyable day trips.

Bridge over River Tay at Dunkeld

The wooded hills and valleys north of Perth provide a stunning setting for small towns and villages such as Crieff, Dunkeld and Aberfeldy. The area offers an abundance of leisure activities - salmon fishing, walking, climbing and watersports on the lochs, as well as lots of places of historical interest to explore.

The area north of Dunkeld is often referred to as 'Highland Perthshire' and it is easy to see why: heading north you see ahead of you how the hills begin to close in. Then it is goodbye to the rich, rolling countryside of the southern part of the county and hello to the mountains and moorlands, lochs and glens and the kind of scenery which most visitors would associate with the actual Highlands further north.

14-Dec-2018	Feshie FE6 (overall)	Booking, confirmation and payment process very easy, deposit was returned promptly and the cottage was very nice - exactly as advertised.
13-Dec-2018	The Cottage on Loch Hosta CF3 (overall)	Didn't really have any contact as booked and paid on line without issue
12-Dec-2018	Lochsie Cottage DD6 (overall)	If you are looking to simply escape into a world of your own then this is it. Magical scenery all around, every modern convenience within the cottage (including a large HD TV) and pure tranquillity. Wi-Fi access is limited (only available near the farm buildings behind) but you honestly don't need it while you top up the wood burner to keep it cosy and listen to river running down the valley. In November we only saw a few hill walkers and highland cattle which was very refreshing. Great for dog walking with an enclosed back garden.
12-Dec-2018	River Cottage at Old Melrose CN6 (overall)	Excellent
12-Dec-2018	Ashintully Castle Cottage AG8 (overall)	Efficient and easy to use. We have used the company before and have had great service in the past as well
12-Dec-2018	Larkhill Cottage EA6 (overall)	Very efficient service all round and friendly too.
12-Dec-2018	Tweed Cottage at Old Melrose CN5 (overall)	The cottage is perfect, plenty space, lovely big utility room for muddy boots and wet jackets, and high quality soft furnishings. We particularly liked having a choice of walks straight from the front door, and the welcome pack sets the tone for a great stay.
12-Dec-2018	The Boathouse DA8 (overall)	Stunning location, clean and comfortable property, and mr Marcin is pleasant and informative on arrival. Really enjoyed the views, peace and tranquility (watching the heron and the otters on the loch) and the log fire. Beautiful place to stay.
11-Dec-2018	Tarbat House ES3 (overall)	Had to wait 14 days for security deposit, not on at all.
10-Dec-2018	East Cliff Cottage EG6 (overall)	They were not particularly helpful as I only wanted a short midweek stay and to pay with a voucher I received as a xmas present last year. I was not allowed to book during the main holiday season and only allowed to use my voucher after the end of October. Very little trouble was taken to find me a place to stay. I obviously had to pay up front the £100 house keeping supplement which is paid back if you do not cause any damage. My letter said it would be paid back 7days after the end of my stay but when it had not arrived after 7days I phoned the office and had a very short and casual reply that it took at least 10 days to get my money back. If this is the norm then the contract letter needs changing as it is incorrect.
