Although attached to the owner’s residence the cottage is self-contained and has a lovely private hot tub for exclusive use, this is a nature lover’s paradise!
Surrounding the property is a peaceful woodland area bursting with wildlife including deer, and red squirrels, which are regularly seen from the lounge and kitchen windows of the property. The owners welcome you to explore the woods. There are also the attractive ruins of Glasclune Castle within the grounds, which have ancient monument status.
If you can tear yourself away, there are easy to moderate walks locally, more strenuous ones within driving distance in the Angus Glens and on and off-road cycle tracks nearby. The Cateran Trail, a circuit through Perthshire and Angus Glens, can be joined at the end of Woodside’s drive. In addition, many castles, stately homes and gardens abound in the vicinity including Glamis and Scone Palace. If you were to book Woodside in the winter months, the road leading up to the property is an upward hill, this is mainly suited for four-wheel drive vehicles but any other may find it difficult to climb.
Blairgowrie has a good selection of places to eat, drink and shop as well as the Cargill’s Leap landmark to the north of the town. For golfers, there are almost too many courses to mention but notably St Andrews, Carnoustie, Rosemount (in Blairgowrie itself) and Gleneagles are within an hour’s drive.

This was a wonderful place to stay. Modern, spotless and well appointed. We were lucky to have sunshine throughout our stay and really appreciated the big windows with lovely views. There was plenty of walking in the grounds and our dog loved his daily trip to the burn. The Cataran trail is at the end of the track to Woodside and offers excellent walking from the doorstep. The hosts gave a warm welcome, promising a view of a red squirrel which we soon saw. Overall, highly recommended.
