Reclaim the Hills

Reclaim the Hills: Perth and Kinross

With the heather-bruised hills of Perthshire around you, this Grand Designs-style home puts you amid munros, riverside paths and enchanting forest walks. The charming town of Aberfeldy is a five-minute drive away, or an hour-long walk along the river path – perfect for hounds. The lofty, open lounge caught our eye inside with a modern woodburning stove in the centre for chilly evenings. The kitchen is a dream with a range-style cooker and everything you need (even some things you don’t, like a warming drawer) for self-catering. Those bringing the dogs will appreciate the fenced-in garden and kids can hang out in the garage outside with its ping pong table.

Home truths:
*This place welcomes dogs and the garden is fully fenced in
*Your host provides plenty of logs outside for the wood-burner and there is kindling in the garage
*In a remote location, having a car is recommended and there is covered parking for one car and uncovered parking for two additional cars
*Though there isn't a dedicated desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace
*You'll have your own private entrance here
