About this property

The Old School House Cottage

A cosy cottage set in a rural location, surrounded by beautiful Perthshire countryside, this cottage is centrally located for exploring Perthshire, the east coast and north to the Cairngorms.. 7 steps to entrance.
All on the Ground Floor:
Living room: TV, Netflix, DVD Player, Open Fire
Kitchen/dining room: Electric Cooker, Microwave, Fridge/Freezer, Washing Machine, Dishwasher
Bedroom 1: Kingsize (5ft) Bed Ensuite: Cubicle Shower, Toilet
Bedroom 2: 2 x Single (3ft) Beds. Air source heat pump central heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi included. Initial fuel for open fire included. Travel cot and highchair available on request. Outhouse with washing machine, tumble dryer and fridge/freezer. Welcome pack.. Large garden with patio and garden furniture. On road parking. No smoking. Please note: There is a sloping bank and a fenced drop in the garden!. Relax and enjoy a well-deserved break in this idyllic little semi-detached cottage. Set in the tiny hamlet of Kettins just 1½ miles from the market town of Coupar Angus, it is a pastoral delight, with whitewashed walls surrounded by attractive gardens. The row of cottages are set up a few steps from a tiny village green with a small stream meandering past. Inside, the cottage has been tastefully furnished and retains some original features including arched doorways, high ceilings and wooden floors, with a cosy open fire in the living room leading through to a small kitchen/dining room. At the back the sunny sheltered patio slopes upward to a lovely lawn and is perfect for alfresco meals.
A walkers and cyclists paradise, there are plenty of waymarked paths through arable countryside of the Vale of Strathmore through Meigle, Ardler and Coupar Angus to the more challenging glens beyond Blairgowrie. Renowned for its soft fruit, there are plenty of good cafes and restaurants nearby showcasing local produce, and a good range of shops locally and further afield in Dundee and Perth. Glamis Castle, the childhood home of H.M Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, and the Pictish Stone Museum are well worth a visit and the cottage is within half an hour of the Cairngorms National Park. The ski slopes at Glenshee are a short drive and Pitlochry is within easy reach. Golfers have plenty of courses to choose from including Rosemount and Carnoustie, or explore the clean sandy beaches strung out along the east coast. Beach 19 miles. Shop and pub 1¾ miles, restaurant 3 miles.

An exceptional little cottage! Tastefully decorated to a high standard with lot of nice touches to make it feel really homely! Well equipped with everything you could need for the humans and the dog! Special touch with the welcome basket which included bacon, eggs, bread, milk, butter, tea, coffee, hot chocolate and a bottle of wine! A wee gem!!

The only bad point about our break was having to leave ! From the minute we made the booking everything was 1st class. The cottage itself is superb. I have had many, many breaks away and this accommodation is the best I have stayed in. The owners have thought of everything and nothing is too much trouble. The welcome pack alone was a lovely touch. If you are looking for a break in Scotland with a good location to travel around and you need somewhere that accepts dogs.... then this is the place to go. I cant recommend it highly enough....if I could award 6 stars I would, it was that good. oh the open fire was pretty great too !! :-)

Lovely cottage which is decorated with much attention for detail and is situated in very quiet and beautiful countryside but yet near to a lot of local attractions. Excellent wifi. Very comfortable beds and bathrooms. Kitchen is a bit small for 4 persons and would benefit if one of the wooden benches would be replaced by 2 chairs or stools. Basic stock available. Lovely welcome pack. Easy parking in front of the cottage. Large garden. We felt very at home and can certainly recommend this cottage.
