Tomnagaske Cottage: is a charming self-catering holiday property located on the edge of Comrie, a beautiful and vibrant village nestled between two of the most spectacular glens in rural Perthshire. The approach to the cottage is along a private tree-lined drive leading to the courtyard of the main house where this lovely old stone building sits; it was originally part of the stable block and is full of character. From the decked area in the cottage garden, one has uninterrupted views to fields and the hills beyond and although there is a feeling of being miles from anywhere, it takes only a few minutes to walk to the centre of the village
The cottage has 2 bedrooms, a sitting/dining room with woodburning stove, kitchen and small shower room and is decorated in a simple but original way...it is a little bit different.
Prices range from: £500
to £900
Per week
Surrounding area:
This area of Highland Perthshire is perfect walking territory, we have 2 Monros close at hand, Ben Chonzie and Ben Vorlich and a huge network of both invigorating and more gentle walks that can be started straight from the cottage. The bird watching fraternity will find plenty to interest them and for those interested in cycling, bikes can be hired locally. Fishing for salmon and brown trout, is available from March - September inc.on a stretch of the River Earn, (permits are sold in the local Deli @ £10 per day). Comrie has a renowned 9-hole golf course and there are many more within easy reach; Gleneagles is only 18 miles from us and St Andrews just 1 1/2 hours by road. Clay pigeon shooting can also be arranged at Gleneagles Hotel. Water sports canoeing, kayaking and waterskiing are run from Lochearnhead 12 miles away. In addition, it is possible for us to make arrangements with Crieff Hydro to provide access to its wide range of outdoor activities horse riding, quad- biking, off- roading, high wires, tennis and golf, www.crieffhydro.com. For less active but hugely uplifting therapies, Senses Spa, in the village, offers a wonderful range of treatments and massages.
