Welcome to the centre of Scotland: Perthshire. It also has a nickname: ''Big County'' or ‘’Shire’’. The reason for the first nickname is that it's a large county. And why is this place so worth visiting? This is because Perthshire is bursting with lush green scenery and rolling hulls. Furthermore, you'll find high mountains in the Southern Highlands, too. Because of its high diversity when it comes to landscape, Perthshire is the perfect place to stay for a well-deserved holiday.
And what if you can stay in Perthshire in a luxurious cottage? In a cottage that’s surrounded by wonderful nature, that suits all your needs and more. Also, did you know that Perthshire has one of Scotland’s most famous golf courses named Gleneagles?
Think about relaxing in a jacuzzi whilst admiring the beautiful scenery.
To make this easier for you, I’ve made a list of the 4 best luxury cottages in Perthshire. Which each of these cottages, you’ll stay in the middle of wonderful nature, and get an ideal starting point for exploring the rest of Perthshire.
Oak tree Cottage
The first one of the best luxury cottages is the Oak tree Cottage. Why do I recommend this one? Firstly, it's very close to Dunkeld, which is a lovely town close to the River Tay. And from the cottage, you'll get stunning views of a beautiful hill named Birnam Hill. In case you didn't know, this hill is famed in Shakespeare's Macbeth. He immortalized the oakwoods of the lower slopes. The oak woods are perfect for hiking, too. Anyways, from this hill, you'll get incredible views over Dunkeld, Strath Tay, and Birnam which are surrounding villages. And if you’re a Scotland-lover, you must highly appreciate hills and stunning views.
When we have a look inside the Oak tree Cottage, you can tell it's very well maintained and stylishly furnished and decorated. This cottage has a modern look, and even offers possibilities for alfresco dining (outside dining), whilst you enjoy the wonderful surroundings. You can even tell the atmosphere is romantic in this cottage. You can go to the Oak tree Cottage for parties, with kids, with pets, or with your family. The dining and living rooms are spacious and open, which means that no matter if you're cooking or relaxing on the couch, you can talk to the people around you.
Just have a look at the pictures below. Aren’t you attracted to the elegant atmosphere? The Oak tree Cottage also has a hot tub. Perfect for relaxing your muscles after a day of walking in the highlands, or after taking part in other activities like fishing, golfing, or marvellous walks.

Easter Lodge in Perthshire
Easter Lodge
How does it sound to enjoy your holiday in Perthshire on the edge of the Cairngorm National Park? This property also maintains the character of the era with fabulous wood-panelled rooms and wide-open hallways. This property is called an Edwardian property, meaning it has a simple design, with spacious rooms and high ceilings. Easter Lodge is the perfect house for family gatherings or group parties. I’d highly recommend choosing the Easter Lodge if you want something unique in Perthshire, that’s an ideal starting point for exploring the rest of the area including the adjoining Cairngorm National Park.
What is the Cairngorm National Park? This park covers an area of about 4.5 thousand square kilometres. It's so popular, because it's an awesome place for hiking, and outdoor activities (including seasonal skiing), and an area to spot wildlife. And if you want to play some golf, you can go to the nearby strath named Strathmore. This area is home to top-class golf courses, so you don't want to miss this. Besides, Strathmore is beautiful as well as it runs from northeast to southwest between the Sidlaws and Grampian mountains.
You can tell Easter Lodge is made for special occasions, as there are three large reception rooms as well. Furthermore, there’s a drawing room with an open fire, a large games room that’s of course wood-panelled (remember, it's an Edwardian property), a large seating area which is perfect for enjoying Scottish reels, and a dining room with large windows. From these windows, you look at the hills and lawns surrounding the area. This dining room has space for up to 20 guests.
And did I mention you can cook in a fully equipped farmhouse kitchen? I honestly think you’ll get the most impressive experience as soon as you walk into the grand entrance hall, where you’ll immediately see the decorative wood panelling.
