About this property
Curlew Cottage is a great property for that romantic break, and is complete with a wood-burning stove and roll-top bath.. Set on a working arable and cattle farm, within the owner’s 2000-acre estate in the Vale of Strathmore, these four welcoming and spacious holiday cottages have been restored to a very high standard. The most recent addition to the collection, Kingfisher Cottage (UK38211) is a renovated, detached, single-storey luxury cottage, tucked way down a farm track. With two stylish bedrooms and beautiful quality furnishings throughout, the high ceilinged open plan living room/kitchen features an eyecatching wood burner flanked by full length picture windows, making the most of the view for the ultimate relaxing experience. Islabank Farmhouse (ref saap) is a traditional, characterful, comfortable farmhouse which is ideal for families. Curlew Cottage (ref syyj) is a charming, beautifully converted, detached, single-storey property and a haven for wildlife with red squirrels visiting the garden daily. Still part of the farm but located 4 miles away is Osprey Cottage (ref UZQ), a delightful, light and sunny, single-storey detached cottage.
Set amongst beautiful farmland and fruit-growing country, they make an excellent choice for relaxing breaks in the heart of rural Perthshire. The estate makes an ideal base for exploring central Scotland, Edinburgh, Perth, St Andrews and the Highlands. Glamis Castle is a few miles away. Outdoor activities (golf, skiing, fishing, riding, cycling) are readily available. Shops and pub 3 miles.
Kingfisher Cottage (UK38211), Islabank Farmhouse (saap), Curlew Cottage (syyj) and Osprey Cottage (UZQ, 4 miles away) can be booked together to accommodate up to 16 guests.. 5 steps to entrance.

What an excellent cottage. Bright, roomy and clean. Stayed for a week and loved the wildlife that came into the garden including a red squirrel, pheasant, doves and lots of garden birds. The dogs loved the enclosed garden and plenty of things to do nearby. Visited Glamis Castle and check out Flour in Meigle. Had brunch there and they have a great shop.

Have now stayed at Curlew Cottage 3 times. Excellent cottage and area with plenty of places to visit. Lovely private enclosed garden which our dogs enjoyed.
