The Cottage is self-contained ground floor accommodation adjoining Aikenhead House – a unique country house and small-holding 3 miles from Blairgowrie. A perfect romantic, peaceful getaway.

The Cottage has an open plan kitchen, dining and sitting area with a wood burning stove, a bedroom with a kingsize bed and a single day bed and a wetroom style shower room. Outside The Cottage has a decking area and a private wood burning hot tub. Parking is situated next to the front door.

Views from The Cottage are to the South and over arable land. You can see the local Osprey’s nest from the windows! The outside seating area and hot tub have views across the garden to the West.

Guests will have access to The Cottage via your own private entrance (Stable door). You are also welcome to wander around the small-holding (but please shut gates if you visit the animals!).

We have additional accommodation for groups if required – with a large sitting room and dining room to use together – please contact us for more information.

We are both more than happy to socialise – but equally can just be on call if needed.

Adam is based at the house and is happy to give you ideas on places to visit and places to eat.

Rosie is a walk and cycle leader and a passionate wild swimmer and is happy to organise activities for guests or give maps for adventures. We can also arrange kayaking, stand up paddle boarding, bike hire (road or mountain) and other local activities. 

We are developing an organic vegetable garden and planning to become as self-sufficient as possible and are happy to show you our plans and developments.

Dogs are welcome and can stay in The Cottage.

We ask you to keep dogs off the furniture. A cage is available to use if requested.

Dogs MUST be kept on a lead outside as we have free range chickens and other animals.

We ask for dogs not to be left unattended in The Cottage.

Please check with us before you feed anything to the animals – they do enjoy treats but the wrong type of food could make them ill.

Check in from 5pm. Check out by 10am unless otherwise agreed.
