A wonderful place to spend a quiet relaxing week. The house is located about a mile down a (well surfaced) farm track in the middle of crop fields with only one other house in sight. It was a real luxury to have a whole house to ourselves! The kitchen was well equipped. Amazingly given the remote location TV and WiFi worked very well. Bed was comfortable. Whole house was spotlessly clean and warm despite the cool summer weather. There is a range of shops within a 15 minute drive so no need to feel isolated. The surrounding Perthshire countryside is very beautiful.

Blackhill Farm Cottage is 10 miles north of Perth in a rural setting on the southern edge of the stunning Highlands. It is on a farm nearly 2 miles from the nearest public roads which gives a wonderful feeling of privacy and seclusion. It features on open plan kitchen, dining and sitting room which makes it ideal for families and groups of friends. The cottage has its own garden and has fabulous views of the surrounding countryside. The cottage sleeps up to 6 in 3 bedrooms, (one twin downstairs and two kingsize doubles upstairs), and has one main bathroom with shower over a, (deep), bath, wc, towel rail and underfloor heating. There is an additional WC upstairs. All linen and towels are provided and everything is included in the rent. The kitchen is very well appointed with 4 ring hob, double oven/grill, fridge/freezer, microwave, kettle, toaster, dishwasher, full utensils, cutlery & crockery and washer/drier. We can pre-order meals from the excellent COOK and from award winning local chef Praveen Kumar who runs Perths highly successful Tabla restaurant and Indian cookery school. We also have various adult and children’s bikes to borrow and a well stocked trout pond!
As well as the surrounding fields and woods the surrounding area has lots to offer all ages with lots of indoor and outdoor activities. The City of Perth is only 15 minutes away with lots of shopping and leisure activities. Perth also offers a cinema, theatre, (Horsecross Arts), which has a full programme of shows for all ages through the year, leisure pool with water slides as well as a good selection of bars and restaurants.

We are also only 10 minutes from the A9 which gives easy access to both Highland Perthshire and Edinburgh & Glasgow are also within easy reach. The nearest railway station is also less than 20 minutes away. Close by there is a footpath running through the farm, there are lots of birds and animals to be seen from the cottage and around the farm. As well as adult and children’s mountain bikes available to borrow we can offer trout fishing for beginners and experts alike on the farm by separate arrangement and the mighty River Tay is only 15 minutes away for those looking for the chance to catch a Salmon.
