Perfectly placed in picturesque Perthshire is this Victorian country house, set within its own secluded grounds, yet within walking distance from the village of Kirkmichael. A short drive, lined by rhododendrons, leads you up to the holiday house, where you will find a fine granite structure that has been extended over the years to become more of a mansion than a house. This holiday house in Scotland is ideal for family holidays for a week in the summer, and get-togethers and weekends away in the quieter months.
Within you will discover an elegant hallway adorned with stags' heads, which leads to the expansive drawing room on one side and the large dining room to the other, as the two main front rooms. Whilst there is still an air of grandeur here, this is a house that is like walking into a family home, where you feel comfortable and relaxed immediately. Beyond can be found the kitchen, the breakfast room and the very substantial games room. This room with a magnificent fire-place can be used on a multi-purpose basis, as the table tennis table can be removed to create a party room for a ceilidh or impromptu party. All the accommodation can be found on the two floors above, with a selection of 9 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, making this ideal to sleep up to 17 people. The expansive grounds are great for children to relax in, whilst in summer croquet can be enjoyed too.
The house is a wonderful rabbit-warren of a place and our children found it an exciting and adventurous place with just the right amount of scariness with all those stags heads above the doors. It was also very comfortable in terms of its furnishings and character. Good to find a house with so much original art work displayed! The kitchen did feel a bit small and tight when our family cooked for 16 folk, but the adjacent eating area was useful in addition to the dining room for the adults. After we arrived, we found the floors were a bit sticky and dirty and the children's feet became quickly blackened as a consequence. My daughter washed all the floors so it should be much improved now, but a good clean throughout might be useful at some point! Otherwise, we much enjoyed our time at the house and would recommend it to our friends.
We're really glad you had a great time. It's a perfect spot for family get-togethers. We've fed your comments on the floors back to the housekeeping team and will keep an eye on future guest feedback. Thank you.
