About this property

Tucked away on the outskirts of the popular town of Crieff, Perth and Kinross, is this wonderful end-terrace cottage, Greystones Cottage. Enjoying a fantastic location with easy access to the local amenities and residing near the historically renowned hang man spot, Greystones Cottage is a delightful family-friendly dwelling for couples or a family of four. Be welcomed into the inviting sitting room, where you can look forward to evenings spent relaxing on the plush seating as your favourite show plays out on the Smart TV. Rustle up flavourful dishes in the light and airy kitchen/diner, ready to enjoy around the dining table for four, or alfresco out on your private rear garden. Follow the stairs to the first floor, where you can wash away the day’s adventures with a soak in the bath or freshen up under the overhead shower. When sleep calls, choose from two tastefully decorated bedrooms, a king-size or a twin and both with plenty of storage. Explore the town, where you can dine at the welcoming eateries of Station Bar, Delivino, and The Tower Gastro Pub, stock up on essentials at the convenience store, tour The Strathearn Gallery, or test out your swing at the excellent Crieff Golf Club. An ideal base for those who favour outdoor activities with Archery, 4x4 Driving, horse riding, mountain bike hire, treetop adventures and crazy golf, all nearby at the famous Crieff Hydro Hotel. Or why not take the kids to the fantastic adventure playground or treat yourself to a relaxing afternoon tea, keen walkers can also embark on the nearby Lady Mary’s Walk which follows the River Earn for 6.5 miles. For watersports or just a Lochside daytrip, head to St Fillans on Loch Earn a just short drive away. Next stop is Gleneagles, where you will find The Gleneagles Hotel, with fantastic golf course and spa so you can indulge in a pamper, followed by dinner and drinks at the Golf Inn. Continue onto Perth, home to the Huntingtower Castle, The Blackwatch Castle & Museum, Perth Racecourse, and the Moncreiffe Hill where you can follow woodland trails and soak up the exceptional views on offer. Further afield is Stirling, where you can tour the Stirling Castle, Cambuskenneth Abbey, and the Stirling Old Jail. All this and more awaits at Greystones Cottage. EPC Rating: Band D

Crieff, a famous tourist destination, is situated on the geological fault line where the Lowlands and Highlands meet, midway between Perth and Crianlarich. Crieff grew from its 16th- to 18th-century roots as a gathering point for cattle traders to suit the needs of a growing population in the Lowlands due to its strategic location. The gallows, a relic of Crieff's infamous reputation as a "frontier town" known for its penchant for executing criminals, can be seen today in Perth Museum. Most of Crieff was destroyed in a fire in 1716 by Highlanders returning from the demoralising Battle of Sheriffmuir, and the current town layout was planned by James Drummond, 3rd Duke of Perth in 1731. While Drummond was a supporter of the Jacobite Rebellion and hence opposed further fires, it was he who ultimately succeeded. In 1746, Bonnie Prince Charlie and his army remained in town, where they held meetings at the Drummond Arms Inn. Close to Crieff, you may visit the stunning public gardens at Drummond Castle. Crieff is now a thriving tourist destination, home to sites including the Caithness Glass Visitor Centre and the Glenturret Distillery's Famous Grouse Experience. Swimming, squash, and a fitness centre are just some of the activities available at the leisure centre. Golf at Crieff Golf Club or the nine-hole course in adjacent Comrie, or take in the breathtaking environment at the Auchingarrich Wildlife Centre. From Crieff, it's not hard to go to Loch Earn, where the Lochearnhead Watersports Centre and beautiful landscape can be found. Place of inspiration in the heart of Perthshire's breathtaking landscape.
