This is a newly renovated (May 2024) and beautifully finished cottage in a wonderfully unique and secluded spot benefiting from fantastic countryside and river views. This is the perfect property for a family sleeping 6 at capacity across a super king/twin room with a connected bunk room and sofa bed on the mezzanine level. This property benefits from ample living space for the whole family with a large sunny mezzanine TV room (perfect for the kids!) and a cosy downstairs lounge with woodburning stove (ideal for the adults!).
The Knowe is situated just off the Cateran Trail in Bridge of Cally, which is only 6 miles from Blairgowrie and about 30 minutes drive from the Cairngorms & Glenshee. The Bridge of Cally Hotel has a cosy pub and restaurant and is a pleasant 40min walk away from the cottage. There are also a range of amenities, shops, cafes, and restaurants in Blairgowrie which is a 15 minute drive away.
