Lovely and quiet.
Lovely place; quite far out in the country. Very comfy. Communication with the host was very difficult. Couldn't figure out how to use the television and the dvd player was missing cords. Instruction manuals for everything would be really helpful.

About the host

Hosted by David & Julia Clarke

Host profile image
Our family live on and run Blackhill Farm near Perth.

Why they chose this property

Having grown up in the area Perthshire has always been a special place to me. It offers so many things to see and do and Blackhill is just a brilliant place to bring up our young family. Having lived in the cottage for a few years ourselves we think it makes the perfect cosy getaway for families or small groups of friends.

What makes this property unique

The cottage is in a brilliantly private and secluded location to offer the ideal getaway to the Scottish Countryside. There is so much to see and do around the farm but it is also very close to Perth and is centrally located for trips to the rest of Scotland.
