About this property
This attractive, stone-built cottage lies in the rural village of Grandtully, close to the River Tay in Perthshire. The Old Schoolhouse is a lovely choice for families, providing a heart-warming base to return to each evening, with a lawned garden where you can sit out and take in the day’s events. Internally, the property features a large kitchen where the chef of the group can get acquainted amongst a host of appliances, including an electric oven and hob, microwave and fridge, while the others can prepare the oak dining table for a sumptuous feast. When it comes to unwinding, head to the sitting room where you can take comfort next to the woodburning stove whilst catching up on your favourite shows, or make use of the sun lounge and challenge each other to a family boardgame. As the evening comes to a close, choose from three well-presented bedrooms to catch your rest; a king-size and two double rooms are on offer, each completed with soft furnishings and a good amount of storage space for your personal belongings. Allow your pooch to stretch their legs in the enclosed garden whilst you kick back on the patio furniture and soak up the last of the evening sunshine. Nestled on the banks of River Tay you will find a local pub and restaurant, and across the street lies the Grantully Hotel both with excellent restaurants and bars which are perfect on those nights you don’t fancy cooking. Grandtully is also home to an award-winning chocolate artisan at Iain Burnett’s Highland Chocolatier, as well as a convenience store where you can pick up any essentials. Venture to the small town of Aberfeldy, where you will be spoilt for choice when it comes to outdoor adventures; take on white-water rafting, abseiling, gorge walking or canoeing or simply spend an afternoon wandering the Dewar’s Aberfeldy Distillery or Aberfeldy Watermill. For a delightful escape to Perthshire, choose The Old School as a base that you’ll be delighted to return to. EPC Rating: Band F

Special thanks to the owner for providing three umbrellas and a big library of good DVDs to the visitors! Some minor improvements would make the stay even more agreable: The shower didn't get really hot and the heating in general was adjusted to a quite low average temperature; The shower in the basement and the cooker could have been cleaner.

The house was clean but had lots of high level cobwebs. It is a very good base for watersports, walking and hiking and to visit various distilleries.
