Scottish Cooking in a self-catering holiday cottage located in the heart of Scotland

Cook with Scotland's finest ingredients

Do you love cooking?  Like buying and using fresh local ingredients?  Then renting our self-catering holiday cottage near Blairgowrie, Perthshire  (Central Scotland) is the perfect spot to get creative in the kitchen.  Blairgowrie has regular farmer's markets in its town square and participates in the campaign for "slow food".  Perthshire is famous for its soft fruit - with most of the country's strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and blackcurrants coming from the Strathmore area of Scotland.  In fact, just across the stream from the holiday cottage you will see blackcurrant bushes growing that supply Ribena with its fruit!  Berries can be bought directly from the farm at a little shop near Guildtown.

You can purchase top quality meats such as beef, lamb and pork from local butchers, but if you are feeling more adventurous there is a Blairgowrie Farm Shop that can supply you with wild boar, rabbit and venison.  Of course, Perthshire is even more famous for its fish, and salmon and trout can be caught in the local rivers on purchase of a permit.  Though if you'd rather just buy it there is a fabulous little shop in Dunkeld called Dunkeld Smoked Salmon that we can personally recommend.

At the end of the day you can come home to the holiday cottage and cook these ingredients in our well-equipped kitchen.  There is a large fridge-freezer, 4 hob cooker, oven, grill, microwave and blender.  And at the end of the meal you don't even have to do the washing up as there is a fabulous dishwasher in the holiday cottage.  Mind you, with the lovely view from the kitchen window of the rock garden, and all the wildlife that you can see, you might be tempted to wash just a few dishes by hand!

Hotel standards without hotel prices

We have been consistently praised over the years for the cleanliness of our self-catering holiday cottage.  Many visitors have said that it has been the cleanest cottage that they have ever stayed in.  We pride ourselves on maintaining high standards, and if previous guests have left it in a mess we will call in other members of the family to help get it sparkling clean again for the next guests arriving at 3pm!

The furniture, bathroom fittings, bed linen and towels are all top quality, not mismatched and cheap like some holiday cottages that we ourselves have visited in Scotland.  We have decorated and furnished the holiday cottage to the high standard that we expect from a holiday cottage that we would choose to rent.  It is treated with the same care that we have for our own home...well, actually, we often joke that it's even nicer than our own home, and that if we ever need a holiday we could just come a spend a week here (despite our house being located on the farm nearby!)
