The Crannach is a converted shepherds cottage of historical interest which has recently been modernised to a high standard. The adjoining byre is now a large open kitchen, dining room and sitting room, with a wide double door leading onto a stone terrace. The property is on the Glenfernate estate, about a mile and a half from the A924 up a private tarmacked road. It faces South-West with a terrific view, and is on the edge of the Grampian mountains. The Cairngorms National Park starts a mile further up the glen, and Beinn a’ Ghlo (a ‘Munro’ of over 3000 ft.) can be seen from the Crannach. All the power to the property comes from a hydro electric scheme nearby. The Crannach is a charming split-level lodge situated in the serene Glenfernate, Perth and Kinross, near the breathtaking Cairngorms National Park. This former farmer's cottage offers off-road parking for two cars, an open-plan layout with stunning views and welcomes two well-behaved dogs, making it an ideal retreat for families or groups of friends. Park up the car and take in the breath-taking views before entering. Upon entering the property, you will be greeted by an open-plan area, where the kitchen, dining room, and sitting room seamlessly blend together. The stylish kitchen is well-equipped for all your culinary needs, while the dining area boasts seating for eight, perfect for enjoying home-cooked meals or a spot to draw a picture of the pretty landscape seen from the patio doors. The sitting area, complete with a TV, offers a warm and inviting space to unwind after a day of exploration, flick on the TV or enjoy the glorious views from the windows. Descend to the lower ground to find a super-king-size bedroom offering miles of stunning views from the window, providing a tranquil setting to wake up to. On the lower-ground floor you will also find a twin bedroom serviced by a bathroom. Feel the warmth of the towel hug you after soaking in the bath here after your days of adventure.

For your convenience, a utility room with a washing machine, tumble dryer and a WC is on the ground floor, providing ample facilities for all guests. Outside, the enclosed garden with a lawn and patio offers a tranquil space to enjoy the stunning countryside views that surround the house.
