  • Hi, is the garden enclosed? Also, would you accept 2 dogs (sleep in cage) and if so, is there a charge? Thanks.
    Hi, the garden is fully enclosed. We must warn that some of the plants are toxic if eaten. Also we warn that the pond is deep and not suitable for dogs to swim in. £20 for dogs to stay, not allowed on furniture. Any damage must be paid for. Jx

The house is in Stanley, which is 6 miles North of Perth. The house is very quirky and full of character. It used to be a sweetie shop, hence the name. We have a photo on display in the house taken around 100 years ago showing it when it was a sweetie shop. There is a large south facing, fully enclosed garden at the back of the house which is an oasis for wildlife. The pond has Goldfish alongside a resident toad!! You can relax and enjoy the birds visiting the feeders. We have so many lovely varieties that visit. From the resident House-Sparrows, to Goldfinches, Nuthatches, Blue-tits, Coal-tits, Song-thrushes and if you are lucky you can sometimes see the Osprey fishing over the River Tay at the back of the house.
I have lived in Perthshire all my life and so have great knowledge of the area. I live a short distance away and I am on hand to give recommendations on where to visit. I like to walk the hills, kayak and wild-swim in the many beautiful lochs in the area. I fell in love with Stanley and our house around 5 years ago and spent around two years lovingly restoring The Auld Sweetie Shop to a high standard.
Stanley is a lovely, friendly village near Perth. We are on the edge of Stanley village and therefore have the benefit of having cosy country pubs and great restaurants and shops close-by whilst having peace and tranquillity once you are in the garden. The beautiful walk along the River Tay straight from our front door is magical some days. There are 3 fishing beats in Stanley and the river is very popular with anglers. You can book fishing experiences through the Fishpal website. We are only 4.5 miles from Ballathie and 7 miles from Meikleour.
