Award-Winning 5 Star Luxury Private Retreat - Hot Tub, Tennis, Fishing, Horses

This award-winning, VisitScotland 5 star Luxury Retreat has the perfect location for a holiday cottage in Perthshire; quiet and secluded with amazing views over the Strathearn Valley, yet only 10 minutes from Scotland's Best Restaurant, Gleneagles Hotel, Spa and Golf Courses and the Scenic Scottish Highlands.

Retreat Guests enjoy the use of a fabulous wood burning hot tub which has the most amazing views over the valley, a lovely Tennis Court and free Salmon Fishing on the River Earn. As well as seasonal organic vegetables from the Estate.

We have a nearby Horse Paddock so that guests can bring a maximum of two horses and a large fenced in garden for dogs.

The City of Perth, Glenturret Whisky Distillery, Drummond Castle Gardens and Crieff are only 15 mins from the cottage. Scone Palace, Stirling Castle and the Wallace Monument are all easily accessible in under 30 mins as is Loch Tay and the Scottish Highlands.

Edinburgh and Glasgow are both reached within an hour, making the Retreat the ideal base for a holiday in Scotland.

This special Retreat is reached by private access and is surrounded by the beautiful landscape of Trinity Gask Estate.

The Interior of this Gorgeous Cottage is simple, fresh and contemporary. There is a large, high-ceilinged, open-plan kitchen/living area with a stylish well equipped kitchen complete with a dining table for 8. In the living area, large comfortable leather sofas are perfect for stretching out on in front of the open fire.

There are two spacious and beautifully decorated Bedrooms:
The Double Bedroom is very large and spacious with windows to the East and West with uninterrupted views over the Strathearn Valley. The super king bed is extremely comfortable and is made up with crisp Egyptian cotton linen. Both bedrooms have more than ample hanging and shelf space and come with hair-dryers, fluffy robes and slippers.

The pretty Twin Room is bright and airy. 2 West windows provide views towards Ben Vorlich and the Crieff Hills.

The family Bathroom has a big doubled ended bath, separate walk in Shower and is stocked with organic shampoo, conditioner, soap and body lotion.

The second Bathroom is an en suite shower room with a large walk in shower and gorgeous views south over the valley. There is door from this bathroom out onto a terrace which is the perfect place to enjoy the morning sun with a coffee in the robes and slippers provided.... enjoy that holiday feeling!!

Adjacent to the back door is a separate outhouse/utility room, which is the perfect washing and drying room. There is a large stainless steel sink, washing machine, plenty of cupboard and hanging space, an overhead pulley and underfloor heating. Spacious, airy and warm, it is the ideal place for pets to sleep when they are not in the garden.

Please note that, due to our allergy free status, pets are not allowed in the house at any time.

We also offer a free welcome pack to all guests on arrival (milk, bread, coffee/tea, fruit, biscuits, jam, eggs).

What a beautiful property, in a glorious location. Sitting on the hot tub in utter peace and quiet was just wonderful. Grandson had great fun helping to bring in logs for the fire!! The attention to detail was impressive, everything you can need is to hand. Hubby loved the isolation!

Perfect family retreat

Communication with host prior to arrival was so easy. We managed to get an early check in and we were in love with the property Instantly. Beautiful location and the property was immaculate. We had some issues lighting the fire for the hot tub but Jamie, bless him was on hand and was a diamond. Watching the stars whilst in the hot tub was the type of relaxation we were needing. The beds were so comfortable and our 2 year old loved all the toys and running about (not to mention watching the Deer from the window). Our only gripe was that the robes weren’t for the larger variety of person… Regardless of that, we will definitely be back!

Serenity and great location for day excursions!

When we arrived, we were greeted with our host and his daughter who gave us a little tour of the property and helped us get settled in. We were pretty tired from trip over from the States so it was perfect for catching up rest before we ventured out. We loved all the wildlife that wandered around the property.... deer, bunnies and lots of beautiful birds. Our host, Jamie kept in constant touch to check on us and give us tips of where to go for day trips. We were very comfortable staying there and appreciated all the little personal touches. We would definitely come back!

This is our 4th trip to The Retreat and we have had another excellent stay at this wonderful property. The cottage is immaculate and well stocked with everything you could need for your stay. The kids loved playing in the garden and the hot tub. The hosts are welcoming and communication with them was easy and straightforward. Can't wait to return!

The Retreat is a prescription for peace and serenity

The house is exactly as pictured but they don’t do it justice. From the moment we opened the door it was nothing short of a perfect 4 days. Jamie and Lisa are welcoming and ensure everything is thought of. The only part of the stay that was a bummer was having to leave.

The Retreat cottage is gorgeous. We really enjoyed our family reunion there. Its beautifully decorated, spacious, lovely views & close to an amazing farm shop, restaurants & great day outings. Evening hot tub a definite bonus. Would highly recommend. Our host, Lisa, was great - very attentive & had excellent recommendations for local sights & things to do. We'll book again.

Dream Cottage

Beautifully furnished cottage with stunning views. So relaxing and the perfect place to unwind and spend quality time with friends and family. Hot tub set in lovely completely private gardens that are well kept. The hosts are very hospitable and friendly, adding lots of small touches which makes The Retreat so special. Our party was made up of myself and three older children aged 16 to 19 and we all thought it was the nicest place we've stayed in.

Traumhaftes Ferienhaus

Wir haben in diesem Sommer zwei Wochen in diesem Ferienhaus verbracht. Es war traumhaft. Von der Buchung bis zu unser Rückkehr nach Hause hat einfach alles gestimmt. Begrüßt wurden wir mit einer Flasche Sekt, frischem Gemüse und Salat und einem komplett vorbereiteten Hot-Tube. Die Vermieter haben uns während des Aufenthalts immer wieder kontaktiert und nach Wünschen etc. gefragt. Alle Anliegen wurden zeitnah und herzlich beantwortet. Das Haus ist riesig und für vier Personen mehr als ausreichend. Es ist sehr sauber, überall gab es frische Blumen. Wir würden dieses Ferienhaus immer wieder besuchen.
