Pet Friendly Holidays Perth and Kinross

Escape to this splendid detached barn conversion in rural Perthshire, which is just a short drive from Auchterarder with its 1½-mile long high street lined with a splendid selection of eateries and bespoke shopping. Woodend Farm Barn nestles close to the owner’s home on Woodend Farm, now a 10-acre smallholding where Highland cattle and sheep graze. It was built well before the railway line, which is spanned by two beautiful bridges on the edge of the farm garden.
For many years, the farm operated as an 80-acre pig farm, but in 1999, a 10-acre section was sold off and the new owners completely transformed it. The farmhouse remained, but many of the sheds were taken down to leave just a small section, which was turned into stables. When the current owners took over in 2009, the barn itself was initially used as a machinery store and then a lambing shed, the barn has now been converted into a holiday home with a private hot tub, where guests can relax in the evening with a glass of wine in hand.
Immaculately-presented and providing spacious and contemporary accommodation, Woodend Farm Barn enjoys uninterrupted views of the miles of beautiful Perthshire countryside. This property is in an ideal location for relaxing with friends and family, and enjoying the area with all it has to offer.
Gleneagles Golf Course and Auchterader Golf Club are close by, making it an ideal location for golfers, as well as an excellent base for exploring the countryside with its abundance of walks, cycling, fishing, Whisky distilleries, castles and historic homes and gardens.
Crieff, Perth and Stirling are only a short drive away, and just over an hour’s drive from the heart of Glasgow and Edinburgh. The local railway station provides links to all major towns and cities. Alternatively just relax in the garden and enjoy the views, either in the hot tub, or from one of the outside seating areas which the owner has positioned to catch the best of the sunshine. Shop, pub and restaurant 1½ miles.

Perfectly located in the Perthshire countryside, on a working arable farm, just outside of the small village of Dunning in the Strathearn Valley, this beautiful single storey semi-detached holiday property, attached to the owner’s home, is the ideal retreat for a couple. Set in 4 acres of well-tended garden of mature shrubs, trees and flowers, this tranquil location makes this the perfect place to relax and unwind.

Baldinnies House was built originally circa 1720 with some later additions very much in-keeping with the farmhouse. Easter Baldinnies, which is all on one level, has been beautifully furnished with a spacious living area and a secluded walled garden ideal for al fresco dining or relaxing with a glass of wine. It is just a few minutes’ drive to the interesting village of Dunning which is centred around the historic St Serfs Church and Dupplin Cross dating back to 800AD, as well as a local shop, tennis club and 9-hole golf course. For golf enthusiasts you are only 15 minutes’ drive to the championship courses at Gleneagles Resort with a Michelin star restaurant.

This property boasts an ideal location for exploring the local area as you are near to the motorway links and within easy reach of the major towns and cities of central Scotland. The historic city of Perth is just a 10-minute drive away, where you can enjoy an evening at the theatre or the award-winning concert hall or you could visit one of the fine eateries, cafes, bars and shops. Scone Palace, 11 miles, where the Kings of Scotland were crowned, provides an enjoyable day out. There are several whisky distilleries in the area offering tours and tastings.

A little further afield, but still within easy driving distance, guests will be able to enjoy a day trip to the magnificent Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. Perfect for nature lovers, walkers and cyclists, you will find many established public footpaths and quiet roads and the Ochil Hills for the more adventurous. Shop, pub and restaurant 2½ miles.

This beautiful Victorian sandstone building is tucked away from the hustle and bustle yet in the very heart of Crieff. The ornate cornicing, ceiling roses and large bay windows have been loving restored while still retaining the elegance of the original building.
Just a 60-second walk from Crieff town centre where you will find an abundance of high quality restaurants and local shops. The Crieff Hydro Hotel is less than a 10-minute walk where over 60 activities including archery, air rifles, quad bikes and aerial adventure courses are held.
All the rooms are spacious and airy with stunning views over to the Ochil Hills to the west. You will enjoy preparing your evening meals in the lovely country-style kitchen, ready to dine in style in Lochinver’s elegant dining room. The living room includes television with Chromecast, and a selection of books to sit back and relax with. Enjoy the views in the garden whilst resting in the beautiful and light sun room with a cup of tea and a slice of cake after a day of sightseeing. Wake up to fresh air and the sound of the birds in the garden (or sometimes bagpipes during the summer) and enjoy breakfast on your private patio while enjoying the views.
The kingsize bedroom on the ground floor has a Jack and Jill en-suite which is wheelchair accessible, and has a walk-in shower. There are two private parking spaces, and additional free parking a 5-minute walk away. Shop, pub and restaurant ½ mile.
