Overview
WE ARE DELIGHTED TO INTRODUCE CURLEW CORNER TO OUR PORTFOLIO
Curlew Corner is a superbly finished holiday cottage forming part of a residential conversion of a traditional highland barn. The cottage in on the owner’s deer farm and ensures peace and quiet but still with easy access to all that Perthshire has to offer. This is a perfect spot for a base from which to explore all of Highland Scotland. The location is close to the popular towns of Dunkeld and Crieff, both of which have an excellent selection of restaurants, Art Cafes, independent shops and Art galleries and of course, the opportunity to try whisky tasting fresh from the cask!
The careful conversion of the original building makes the most of all its features. The “upside down” layout ensures that you have the best of the views from the upstairs sitting room across the adjoining fields to the distant mountains. The accommodation has been finished to a luxury standard and includes a spacious King size bedroom with French doors to a private patio. There is a spacious “Jack and Jill” bathroom which is perfect for a relaxing soak after a busy day out exploring.
The local area is an excellent all year round destination with regular social events and activities including farmers markets, Highland Games, traditional Scottish music festivals and for the active, walking festivals. The many tourist attractions nearby include Glenturret Distillery at Crieff, Scotland’s oldest working distillery with the added attraction of its Michelin-starred Glenturret Lalique Restaurant which offers a dynamic selection of eclectic seasonal dishes and Bar Lunches.
The opportunities for outdoor pursuits for all ages and abilities are right on your doorstep. The choice ranges from a leisurely stroll along the Tay at Dunkeld or a more strenuous hill walk up Carn Liath, the lowest of the three munros in the Beinn a Ghlo range. The numerous cycling/mountain biking routes also mean that you can pick a different route or challenge for everyday of the week! The variety is almost endless and water sports can be enjoyed on the numerous lochs and rivers including sailing at Loch Tay, or canyoning and rafting on the river Tay, so there is never an adventure too far away.
For golfers there are more than enough courses to allow you to have at least two games a day for a week without a repeat.
