3-bedroom log house set in woodland in the heart of Highland Perthshire

This is a three-bedroom log-built house set in woodland on the outskirts of the historic village of Kirkmichael, in the vale of Strathardle in the hills between Pitlochry and Blairgowrie.

It has a large kitchen/dining/living area with a well-stocked kitchen with oven/hob, microwave, dishwasher, fridge & freezer and washing machine (plus a tumble dryer in the en-suite bathroom).

The living room includes ample seating around an open log fire, a TV with Free-sat channels and DVD/Blu-Ray player, plus CD player. There are books, games & DVDs on the shelves, so help yourself, and pictures and other personal touches to give it a sense of home. And the whole looks out through large french windows onto a paved patio, the fire pit with its log stools, and the open woodland beyond.

There are three bedrooms: a spacious master bedroom with a super-king bed (which can be detached to make two singles), a living flame fire for extra mood, and an en-suite bathroom (with under floor heating for your comfort); a twin room; and a bunk-bed room with additional pull-out bed (all full single-sized), plus further games & toys for the children. All have generous cupboard/hanging space.

There is an additional shower-bathroom off the main corridor.

Outside there is a large gravel driveway and car port with ample parking space (and more nearby). There is a paved patio area with a large picnic table, an outdoor fire pit, and also a small children's play house.

It's set in a 4.4 acre site with a mix of grass, rocks, trees and shrubs running down to a stream, shading over into a large area of open woods and moorland around.

Stench in house
Not a great place to stay apart from location. On arrival we entered and a stench of dampness came through the whole cabin. We never slept in any of the bedrooms because it was that bad. We even opened the windows for a whole day and it was still stinking. We spent 3 days sleeping on sofas which were not that great either. We had to keep the door closed between kitchen and the rest of the cabin to keep stench from the rest of the place.. definitely not worth over £200 a night. Was really looking forward to the place and was really disappointed. .. .

Wee get away
The cabin was easy to get to, with the directions. Cabin was clean and tidy. Bed was comfortable And the sitting room. It took a bit of time to get the cooker and oven to work, but once you did it was easy. It was a nice relaxing time. The weather was wet but we managed to get some walking done with Winston the dog

A lovely, cozy, quaint cabin stay
This was exactly what we were looking for. Such a lovley cabin in a wonderful quiet place in the woods. Richard the host was very helpful and responsive. The place was clean and cosy with a lovely wood fireplace. Not far either from the town of pitlochry which was a great place to see and explore. Cant reccomend this stay enough and we would be very keen to return!

Beautiful cabin located in an amazing location!
I wasn’t sure about Richard’s cabin when I read some of the reviews here, but the moment I saw the place, I realised it was perhaps one of the best cabins I’ve ever picked! We stayed there for two nights, and none of us wanted to leave! In fact, I am going to book it again. Cosy and warm cabin with unique surroundings, the only things we could hear were birds tweeting and deer walking around. A fireplace outside the cabin and a log burner inside, well-equipped kitchen, good size bedrooms,…. I’ve also had no problem with phone signals (I am on EE).

Not to be recommended despite its lovely location.
Rather tired and poorly managed. A misunderstanding with the owner and cleaners meant we had to wait until 6 for our turnaround. The hob only had 2 functioning rings. The dishwasher had lost its lower runner wheel. One of the cupboard door hinges was broken. The curtain hook in the master bedroom was broken. Two of the dining chairs had very wobbly legs. An electric socket at floor level was broken and unsafe.

Lovely place to relax
We had a great week here, after a very busy run up to our holiday it was the perfect place to just relax. There’s plenty walks right from the cabin for days you don’t want to drive, village shop is walkable too and you can take in a river walk on the way. We had deer, pheasants, jays, red squirrel all wandering into the garden area and swifts nesting above the entrance door. Good base to have days out to Pitlochry, Dunkeld and we even took a day trip up to Landmark at Carrbridge which was great to give the kids a treat.

Vomit and mould, long term neglect.
Appalling!! On arrival there is an immediate air of neglect, windows dirty and poorly maintained.At the front door are 3 door mats all falling apart but for some reason stacked on top of each other. It appears as they have worn out another has been placed on top creating a slip/trip hazard. On entering the porch there is a smell of damp and again neglect, it is also very dark and needs the lights putting on to safely walk through. As you enter the hallway the smell and darkness continues. We then noticed a stronger smell coming from the children's room and a swarm of flies. We opened the wardrobe door which was full of child's toys and saw that someone had vomited over the toys creating a puddle on the floor. Our initial reaction was to open the windows but found they were either screwed down or secured with locks and no keys. We then searched for disinfectant without success. There is no WiFi or telephone signal at the cottage so I drove down the hill to contact the host who in fairness sent a cleaner within the hour. However she managed only to get rid of the bulk of the vomit. Unfortunately nothing improved from thereon and below are some of the other issues. Mould in lounge and bathroom. Bathroom has a extractor which does not work Smell permeates throughout the property. Damp in corners and in heating cupboard Lighting totally inadequate. eclectic another word for cast offs? Sockets/ switches dirty and not all working Seating, settees, chairs way past thier usefulness, stained, dirty uncomfortable and badly worn Beds and bedding. Uncomfortable and bedding inadequate (thin quilt) and smell old. Bath not enough hot water and takes too long to fill. According to staff member this has been a problem for approximately 12 years!! Wardrobes full of baby equipment so could not store clothes without taking out the equipment which would then remain in the room. Sink plug jammed, regular occurrence,according to staff. Plunger not cleaned since previous use!! and did not fix the problem. Kindling none. Logs man turned up on Wednesday to chop and allocate our quota of logs!! Doormats, 7doormats in total for 2 doors?? All old and a trip hazard Curtains dragging on floor obviously not fitted. Other curtains old and dirty. Kitchen second hand, door broken, no cupboards for food. Toaster only one half works. We have taken photos and video which we can supply to you.

Idyllic location
Our log cabin is located in the most beautiful rural setting, away from hustle and bustle. The cabin met all our needs and more - nature on our door step with seeing fallow deer, red squirrels and various species of birds. We will most definitely return.

A beautiful stay in a winter wonderland
What an amazing getaway. A great place to reconnect with nature. Storm Eunice brought the snow creating a wonderful winter wonderland. Such a cozy and comfortable cabin to chill and relax. It has everything you need. Although the mattress on the bed is a bit uncomfortable. The views out the back are beautiful, as is the surrounding area. A lovely walk up to and through the forest.

Lovely long weekend in Kirkmichael
My husband and I travelled through to Kirkmichael for a long weekend stay at this property and were really pleased with everything the cottage had to offer. The area is beautiful and the house itself is a gorgeous wooden home with a really fun turf roof that helps camouflage it into the surrounding environment. The fireplace was amazing as was the view in the living room outside the huge bay windows. There was plenty of hot water and the heating worked well for us throughout the day. The only thing we were disappointed by was the comfort of the bed which was really poor. Overall had an amazing stay and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a wee city escape! The owners of the house gave us tonnes of information regarding the house and what to expect, as well as a generous discount for bringing our own towels/bedding and for accommodating a broken door lock. Really positive experience.
