Holiday House with a view | 173

Reception Rooms
The front door situated by the turret tower welcomes you into an entrance hall with stairs to the floor above and the impressive drawing room on the first floor. This is a large rectangular room with windows overlooking the garden to the rear and to the moorland to the front. On a clear day it may be possible to view 16 “Munro” mountains across the battlefield of Sheriffmuir, all the way to Ben Lomond. With a wood-burning stove, comfortable seating, small Hi-Fi and TV – with Sky box, this is a wonderful room to be entertained in.

Kitchen & Dining
A conservatory, off the kitchen, offers additional seating and relaxing, with a TV for DVDs. There is also a large games room with a full size snooker table, which is popular with adults and children alike.

The kitchen seems to be the main hub of the house with most groups gravitating here for the majority of their stay. Beautifully presented, it has been modernised in recent years into a wonderful country style kitchen. There is a traditional 4-oven AGA, accompanied by a 4-ring induction hob and double electric oven, which more than caters for large groups. There’s plenty of workspace for prepping food, a work-island (with seating for 3 people on bar stools), and a kitchen table seating up to 10 people.

Each cottage also comes with its own kitchen.

The dining room can seat up to 18 people over two tables if required. In the summer months, table and chairs are available at the patio area to the rear.
