We have stayed at a lot of properties over the years but this bungalow was by far the cleanest and best equipped (and labelled!) house we’ve stayed in.Comfortable bed, relaxing lounge, great kitchen/diner. Was a real home from home with all the extras and touches we have in our own home - didn’t want to leave!The fabulous goodies basket was lovely too. Thanks!

Comfortable stay in a great location for all the family

Lovely bungalow, exactly as marketed, only a stones throw from Dunkeld & Birnam, which has lots of great walks and places to eat. Our dog enjoyed swimming in the river every day and the back garden was secure to let him run around too. The basket of goodies on arrival was a lovely touch. Highly recommend for a relaxing and comfortable break.

Wonderful house in a beautiful location

We had a lovely time in this gorgeous house. The amenities in the house were superb and the owner had thought of everything. Our dog really enjoyed his stay and the thoughtful extras, like dog beds and towels were great. The location is beautiful and you can easily walk into dunkeld or Birnam or just enjoy the peaceful trails by the river. We would highly recommend the River House in Birnam.

Lovely house close to areas of natural beauty

We had a lovely stay in the River House in Little Dunkeld. The house was spotless and well equipped with everything we needed. It is situated close the the famous Birnham Oak tree with lovely river walks right on the doorstep. We would happily recommend the house and area as an ideal spot for a getaway. Thank you.

Perfect location

Clean, spacious bungalow in a perfect location. Everything you need was supplied. Some furnishings were rather old fashioned but that is personal taste. Lovely welcome pack. Easy walk along river into Dunkeld. Stayed here with husband, sisters and brothers-in-law. All of us would stay again if in the area.

September get together

We had a great weekend get together in this spacious and well equipped house. It was spotlessly clean, very comfortable and we were lucky enough to have sunny days so sat out in the garden. The welcome basket was a lovely surprise and much appreciated. Thank you Kae. We walked into town along the river and had a fantastic walk up Birnam Hill, without having to drive at all. Local shops were plentiful and interesting. We would definitely recommend and come again.

Super ruim en schoon huis. Van alle gemakken voorzien. Fijne bedden en goede douches. Vriendelijke ontvangst door welkomstmand met lekkers. Prima locatie om de omgeving te verkennen. Geen last van de weg qua geluid. Het was tropisch warm toen we er waren, er zijn ventilatoren en het huisje is goed te koelen savonds. In de omgeving is het goed zwemmen in Loch Freuchie. Heel rustig en parkeerplekje vlak bij brug. Zoals de omschrijving. Voor kinderen van alle leeftijden speelgoed en spelletjes, zelfs een wii. Het enige dat we kunnen bedenken is een wasrek voor binnen dat defect is en het ontbreken van wasknijpers voor buiten. Verder is alles aanwezig.

Simply perfect

The owner was very friendly and timely with her communications. Instructions were clear and the property was perfectly suited for us. We were attending a wedding locally and the house is in a central spot. Near a play park for kids, it has it’s own large garden, near beautiful river and countryside walks. Local amenities are within walking distance and a great fish and chip shop, pharmacy and pubs. The house is large, clean, tidy and perfectly proportioned to enjoy socially. We wish that we were staying for longer and will certainly visit again. When we needed to communicate with the owner she was friendly, helpful and available.

About the host

Hosted by Kaehoa Cunningham

Host profile image
Hi! I’m originally from South Korea and now living in Scotland. I’m married to a wonderful Scottish man who’s always been incredibly supportive of me.

I look after this property on behalf of my mother-in-law, who is no longer able to manage it herself. This house holds a special place in our hearts—it’s our family’s favorite holiday spot, even though we live just 30 minutes away!

I’m sure once you arrive, you’ll see exactly why we love this place so much.

Why they chose this property

This house is located in a small village called Birnam. You’ll be pleasantly surprised by how peaceful and quiet it is here—even though it’s so close to all the local amenities.

The moment you step into the back garden, you’ll be greeted by the sound of birdsong and a gentle stream flowing toward the River Tay. It’s a truly soothing and calming experience.

What makes this property unique

The true charm of this house lies in its location. Just a minute’s walk away is the River Tay, where you can enjoy a peaceful riverside walk all the way to Dunkeld town, or visit the famously ancient Birnam Oak.

Even if all you do is wander here and there, the calm and beauty of the surroundings will make you feel like you’re on a perfect holiday.
