Stalker's Lodge, award winning holiday house on stunning Highland estate, Blairgowrie

Perthshire. Sleeps up to 6

Situated on the scenic Straloch estate up a pretty glen in Highland Perthshire, this luxurious contemporary house is the perfect place for a relaxing rural break. Watch red squirrels and the birds on the feeders from the comfort of the glass sitting room extension and take in the stunning views. And with 3,000 acres to explore, from the beautiful loch nearby and miles of rugged heather hills, you're spoilt for choice when it comes to walks. There's also kayaking on the loch, wild swimming, fishing and tennis so you need hardly go anywhere else during your stay. But if you feel like taking off on a day trip, Royal Deeside, Loch Ness and Saint Andrews are all within easy reach. Edinburgh is a 90 minute drive and the popular visitor hub of Pitlochry with its bustling shops, cafes and pubs and the famous fish ladder is just 15 minutes away.

This recently built architect designed house has a semi-open plan ground floor with generous living space. There is a sleek well-equipped kitchen with stone worktops, Neff appliances and seating around the island.

The dining/ sitting room has an extending dining table that can sit up to 10 comfortably, plus sofa and TV. The double height glass extension has more comfortable seating and a wood-burning stove. Huge windows slide open to the sunny deck to the front and the private patio with outdoor furniture to the rear.

Upstairs there are three bedrooms with comfortable Hypnos beds, feather duvets and crisp cotton bedlinen. The luxurious bathrooms have quality fittings, underfloor heating and organic soaps.

The garden is fully enclosed and has outdoor seating, a charcoal barbecue and kids' play frame.

This vacation home is located in Blairgowrie. Pitlochry Golf Club and Rob Roy Way - North are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those wishing to experience the area's natural beauty can explore Cairngorms National Park and Black Spout Waterfall.
