Blairmore Cottages €€€€

Treat yourself to a stay in one of these superb luxury cottages located between Crieff and Perth that have recently been developed with love, care and attention to every detail by owners Ailsa and James Clark, nephew of the great Scottish racing driver. The cottages sleep between 2 and 10 persons and are finished to the highest standards. These are more than self- catered cottages but the small exclusive development (6 units in all) have access to the cottages’ own cosy hostelry (The Horse Power Bar), grocery delivery service, farm shop, BBQ and lots more. Full detailed information on each individual cottage available on request..

Murrayshall Country House Hotel €€€

Set amidst 365 acres of fine Perthshire countryside and just 4 miles from the city of Perth, Murrayshall Country House Hotel is a superb 4-star golf resort with two contrasting courses on the property. The championship Murrayshall course and the shorter but tighter 10-hole Lynedoch course. This is an excellent base to enjoy the iconic courses from Carnoustie to St Andrews and west to Gleneagles, all of which are within easy striking distance (under an hour by car). The hotel has just 40- rooms and suites, 2 restaurants, the Stutts Bar and Grill and the more formal Lynedoch Brasserie. A good choice for small groups with excellent practice facilities on site.
