About this property
A beautiful former estate cottage, awash with character, nestling within its own ancient woodland.
A beautiful former estate cottage, awash with character, nestling within its own ancient woodland. A perfect holiday home for a family in the Scottish Highlands.. Grantully Cottage is a fantastic, characterful holiday home just a stone’s throw away from Scotland’s longest river, the River Tay. The detached cottage is an attractive, traditional former estate building that has been beautifully modernised, retaining many of its original features. The inside of the Grantully Cottage is spacious and welcoming. Starting in the kitchen with the warming range as the centrepiece, there is everything you’ll need to cook up hearty meals after a long day exploring the local area. There are two living rooms, one with a large TV and open fire, the second with a well-maintained piano. There is also a toilet and shower room downstairs beside the kitchen. On the first floor are two bedrooms and a large bathroom with bath and shower. The master bedroom has a kingsize bed, and the other bedroom has two bunk beds, both with a trundle bed under the bottom bunk, making the cottage ideal for a large family.
Grantully Cottage nestles into its own ancient woodland which has been in existence for several hundred years. The 2-acre woodland, where Grantully Cottage sits pride of place within, is only a small portion of the much larger forested area managed by the Edradynate Estate. The woodland, as you would expect from its age, is magical and is home to many Scottish wildlife icons. Red deer often graze in the glade in front of the cottage, and red squirrels are plentiful, easily being seen from the living room window. The birdlife is exceptional, a highlight being owls cruising the glade at dawn, dusk and through the night whilst hunting.The area around Grantully Cottage beyond the woodland is truly spectacular. The River Tay is only a couple hundred yards away and offers fantastic fly fishing (enquire locally for permits). There is also a lovely walk along the Tay both east and west to Strathtay and Aberfeldy respectively. Beyond the river, Loch Tay is 8 miles to the west, and the Cairngorms National Park is only 15 miles to the north. Grantully Cottage makes for the perfect base from which to explore the Scottish Highlands whilst at the same time relaxing in the most tranquil of locations. Shop, pub and restaurant 2½ miles.. 2 steps to entrance.
