Award Winning Ideal Rural Escape in Earn Valley 5 min from Perth

This traditional cottage has been beautifully restored to a very high standard; bright & stylishly furnished with an open plan kitchen/living area with underfloor heating. The open plan area comprises a well equipped kitchen with integrated appliances, comfortable dining and additional seating in the glass extension to catch the morning sun with a coffee from the Nespresso machine. The living area has comfortable seating, a flat screen TV and a well-stocked wood burning stove.

The bedrooms are both ensuite; the master having a roll top bath in the bathroom. A door from the twin room leads onto a patio with a cafe style table & chairs perfect for morning coffee. A separate outhouse is provided as a perfect wet kit boot room. There is a stainless steel sink, washing machine, tumble drier and overhead pulley for drying clothes.

In addition to two laid lawn areas to the front of the cottage there are two separate decking areas for al fresco dining and BBQs. Deck chairs are also provided to relax and enjoy the outdoors.

As part of our commitment to the environment we used to use refillable products from Scottish Fine Soaps in the bathrooms. We have replaced these with smaller single use bottles (any not used are not recycled to the next guests).

Amazing stone cottage

This cottage was warm and welcoming from the moment we unlocked the door. We stayed 4 nights but wished we had booked more. From the heated floors to the soaking tub and the beautiful walk to the river everything was 5 stars.

Mr

Earn River Cottage was our home away from home for 10 glorious days. The location is ideal for exploring the area. Nearby Gloagburn Farm Shop and Kirkstyle Inn for dining were just a few of our favourites. The cottage is very well appointed, and the welcome basket was a real treat. We will be returning very soon.

Fantastic property to relax and hide away from it all, but only 10 minutes west of Perth.

We had a fabulous time here, by stocking the fridge & switching off for 3 days. The property had everything we needed & we were well looked after before & on our arrival by the Lesley.

This is our second visit to Earne Cottage, I don’t think it will be our last. The cottage has everything you need and as in immaculate condition, exactly as described on the website. We found it to be an ideal base for exploring around Scotland.

Secret Hideaway

Fantastic 'away from it all' cottage. This cottage is hidden away in rural surroundings but a 5 minute drive from Perth City centre, making it a great base to explore Perthshire. It is beautifully decorated with extremely tasteful furnishings and fittings of a very high standard. It also has its very own private beach (pebble) on the river Earn. Highly recommend this cottage and will definitely be back.

Wonderful Relaxing Stay

We have just checked out of this cottage after enjoying a wonderful few days over New Year. The property is finished to a very high standard and is very cosy with underfloor heating as well as a log burner. There was a welcome hamper for us when we arrived, including some champagne, which was a nice touch. It's in a great location for access to the highlands. It was a shame to leave and we would love to come back some day.

Absolutely Perfect Cottage

We had such an amazing stay at Earn Cottage. The accommodations were just perfect and really enjoyed the claw tub for a soothing bath. The property is great and we took a few strolls. It was so nice to see the baby sheep as we drove into the property and even had a local pheasant pecking at the window to say hello. Did a lot of day trips so it was convenient. Would definitely come back for another stay. thanks again

One of the best!

A wonderful property to stay in for a holiday. Warm, welcoming, comfortable, spotless, quiet with a terrific outlook onto woods and fields. Lovely welcome pack on arrival, clear instructions for appliances and the well stocked wood burner. We loved listening to the many birds, spotted red squirrel and deer and all from the inspired front conservatory! We experienced sun hot enough to lie out in, rain, wind and even snow on the last day. Excellently positioned for visiting other towns and the local pub, 10 minutes away, was a delight. We will definitely book again, hopefully in a different season to witness the trees in leaf.

Just superb

We've previously stayed in their larger property a few miles away and had a fantastic time. This time didn't disappoint either. Their standards are impeccable, I defy anyone to stay there and say there was something the owners hadn't thought of because we couldn't think of anything. The treats there on arrival are a lovely touch, cleanliness 1st rate, fantastic open plan living, very comfortable beds and country living but with Perth only 10 minutes drive away. As my heading says, just superb and we will be booking again for next year!

Small jewel

Four of us (2 adults and 2 teenagers) were lucky to stay in this cottage for a week. We were greeted with a lovingly packed basket of local goodies. The cottage itself leaves nothing to be desired. The kitchen is very well equipped and the rooms are lovingly furnished. The Earn River is accessible via a private entrance. Due to its location, Perth can be reached in 5-10 minutes. Cities such as Edinburgh or Glasgow can also be reached within an hour. Nature and hiking areas can also be reached quickly and easily. The house exceeded our expectations and helped us to relax and calm down. We would love to come back anytime. We would love to come back.

Outstanding

There are not enough superlatives to describle this house - and it is a large 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom house - not a cottage. It is well laid out, fully-equipped and clearly fits in a "superior" category - no wonder it has won awards. It is in a private, peaceful location and there is a short bushland path to your own isolated picnic table on the banks of the Earn River. The property description and photos are accurate but cannot convey how nice this place is. In the country but close to Perth, with both a large Tesco and well equipped farm shop/cafe 10 minutes away. There is also a quaint country pub within a short drive. The beds are excellent. Donryn is a great host and responds promptly. Highly recommended.

In a word, Perfect!

For our family, staying at Earn River Cottage was perfect. The location was quiet and peaceful, but it was close enough to Perth that we could easily get groceries or go to dinner. And it was very easy to get on the main roads to Skye, the National Parks or Edinburgh. When we arrived, there was a very nice welcome basket of goodies for us along with a nice note from the owners with their recommendations on places to eat and things to do. There were all the comforts of home - nice plush robes and slippers, hair dryer and towel warmer in the bathroom, any and all pots, pans, utensils, and whatnot that you'd need in the kitchen including a nice coffee maker and the cutest espresso cups, a wonderful wood stove already laid out and just ready to be lit, a very comfortable couch, and a lovely sunroom where I'd sit each morning before anyone else was up and enjoy my coffee while watching the rabbit and birds starting their day. Because the weather was mostly rainy/misty, we didn't get a chance to enjoy the outdoor patio and grill, but the comforts inside were just fine for us and having the outhouse with a drying rack inside made doing laundry so nice. The owners were nice as well. They are very communicative and if there had been a need, we were given phone numbers to reach them. The attention to detail they give to the cottage says a great deal about them and it's all good. Our vacation in Scotland was one of the very best we've had and our stay at this cottage was a good portion of that. Comfortable, exceptionally clean, and very well appointed. We were all very glad we found this gem!

We were blown away

What a fantastic property. The house was spotless on our arrival and so well equipped. First impression was that it was a Show Home, both inside and out. The beds were very comfortable and the duvets were amazing. We had a great time exploring the local area and there was no need for any heating as the weather was lovely and warm. We would recommend this home to anyone. The Lees.
