Award-Winning 5 Star Luxury Private Retreat - Hot Tub, Tennis, Fishing, Horses

This award-winning, VisitScotland 5 star Luxury Retreat has the perfect location for a holiday cottage in Perthshire; quiet and secluded with amazing views over the Strathearn Valley, yet only 10 minutes from Scotland's Best Restaurant, Gleneagles Hotel, Spa and Golf Courses and the Scenic Scottish Highlands.

Retreat Guests enjoy the use of a fabulous wood burning hot tub which has the most amazing views over the valley, a lovely Tennis Court and free Salmon Fishing on the River Earn. As well as seasonal organic vegetables from the Estate.

We have a nearby Horse Paddock so that guests can bring a maximum of two horses and a large fenced in garden for dogs.

The City of Perth, Glenturret Whisky Distillery, Drummond Castle Gardens and Crieff are only 15 mins from the cottage. Scone Palace, Stirling Castle and the Wallace Monument are all easily accessible in under 30 mins as is Loch Tay and the Scottish Highlands.

Edinburgh and Glasgow are both reached within an hour, making the Retreat the ideal base for a holiday in Scotland.

This special Retreat is reached by private access and is surrounded by the beautiful landscape of Trinity Gask Estate.

The Interior of this Gorgeous Cottage is simple, fresh and contemporary. There is a large, high-ceilinged, open-plan kitchen/living area with a stylish well equipped kitchen complete with a dining table for 8. In the living area, large comfortable leather sofas are perfect for stretching out on in front of the open fire.

There are two spacious and beautifully decorated Bedrooms:
The Double Bedroom is very large and spacious with windows to the East and West with uninterrupted views over the Strathearn Valley. The super king bed is extremely comfortable and is made up with crisp Egyptian cotton linen. Both bedrooms have more than ample hanging and shelf space and come with hair-dryers, fluffy robes and slippers.

The pretty Twin Room is bright and airy. 2 West windows provide views towards Ben Vorlich and the Crieff Hills.

The family Bathroom has a big doubled ended bath, separate walk in Shower and is stocked with organic shampoo, conditioner, soap and body lotion.

The second Bathroom is an en suite shower room with a large walk in shower and gorgeous views south over the valley. There is door from this bathroom out onto a terrace which is the perfect place to enjoy the morning sun with a coffee in the robes and slippers provided.... enjoy that holiday feeling!!

Adjacent to the back door is a separate outhouse/utility room, which is the perfect washing and drying room. There is a large stainless steel sink, washing machine, plenty of cupboard and hanging space, an overhead pulley and underfloor heating. Spacious, airy and warm, it is the ideal place for pets to sleep when they are not in the garden.

Please note that, due to our allergy free status, pets are not allowed in the house at any time.

We also offer a free welcome pack to all guests on arrival (milk, bread, coffee/tea, fruit, biscuits, jam, eggs).

We also include toiletries and bathrobes and slippers.

For your entertainment, there is a 37' HD Smart TV flat screen with free SkySports, DVD, Ipod docking station and CD/radio player and a karaoke machine! There is a good selection of games and an abundance of touring, walking and cycling maps as well as interesting books on Scottish wildlife, history and culture.

The Retreat
The Retreat, set in a beautiful peaceful location, provided the ideal base for experiencing the many local attractions including Stirling Castle, Glasgow Kelvingrove Art Gallery, Blair Atholl, Scone Palace, the Trossachs and Royal Deeside. The Hot Tub was good fun and the Gloagburn farm shop at Tibbermore do great coffee and breakfast!

Family reunion
The Retreat cottage is gorgeous. We really enjoyed our family reunion there. Its beautifully decorated, spacious, lovely views & close to an amazing farm shop, restaurants & great day outings. Evening hot tub a definite bonus. Would highly recommend. Our host, Lisa, was great - very attentive & had excellent recommendations for local sights & things to do. We'll book again.
