Scottish Mansion House for Family Holidays in Perthshire

023 Large Country House, Perthshire

Sleeps 14+4 Does not accept pets

This property is truly a mansion made for merriment. An intensely romantic interior with a sweeping staircase that gives this house a wonderful evocative warm glow.

This wonderful Scottish mansion house, built in 1852, stands within its own 700 acre estate and private grounds. The house faces south and enjoys excellent light through the unusually large windows of the drawing room. With its magnificent "Gone with the Wind" staircase within the hall and well proportioned reception rooms with open fires, there is a feel of stylish hospitality and grandeur. Inside at ground level is the reception hall with staircase, large drawing room, smaller sitting room, dining room, kitchen, and a bedroom with en-suite bathroom. The rest of the accommodation is upstairs.

Whilst the house in previous years has been run as an upmarket country house hotel, it lends itself wonderfully to large groups on a self-catering basis. The property has been chosen as a holiday home by many famous personalities, including Kate Moss and Jude Law. It is centrally placed within Scotland, being within an hour of Edinburgh airport.
