Whether you are boot-clad and immersed in nature, heading off to Dunkeld (4 miles) for a drink in an atmospheric pub or branching off to explore the bustling streets of Dundee (26 miles) together, returning to this family homestay will be something to relish. Claiming its own private nook overlooking Butterstone Loch and surrounded by rolling lawns and flourishing trees, this spacious property has something for all. Play games with the dogs in the garden, introduce the children to the magical red squirrels who frequent the grounds, and watch the horizon change with the rise and fall of the sun; from breakfast ‘til bedtime, this charming country bolthole pours magic into every moment of the day.

Start your day with drawn-out breakfasts in the kitchen, parcelled around the family-sized breakfast bench with ample seating. The perfect space to cook up homemade repasts throughout the day, you can add a more formal sense of occasion to your meals by switching to the open-plan lounge's dining table which, tucked neatly at one end of the room, is the ideal spot for socialising before kicking back fireside on the sofa. The heart of the home, the lounge is overlooked by attractive open beams and sports warming tones, creating a cheerful yet relaxed vibe. While the adults congregate for the evening, let the kids flee to the snug where ample seating, a wood burner and a TV wait for conspiratorial whispers and movie nights with popcorn. At the end of the day, six equally lovely bedrooms and three bathrooms await across the ground and first floors; treat yourself to a bubble-topped soak in the bath before slipping between crisp sheets and dreaming of tomorrow's adventures.

Venturing outside, children will delight in the garden's open spaces and kids' play area including a trampoline, slide and swing. While away the hours playing games in the sunshine and goofing around with your dogs before grabbing your walking shoes from the utility room and heading out into the countryside. In an area rich in natural beauty, you can take your pick of inspiring walks and go as hard or easy as you please; there are walks of all gradients to suit all abilities, all flaunting incredible scenery. Especially beautiful in autumn, savour walks under rust-coloured leaves and listen out for the gentle crunch of shy roe deer treading through woodland. If you want to take your wheels and head out for the day, enjoy the unlimited car parking at the property upon your return.

Great cottage. Very well equipped and very comfortable and spacious. Not really suitable for anyone with mobility difficulties due to internal stairs. We really loved our stay there though.

We had a wonderful family weekend at Forebrae. The house is very well equipped and a great size for a family. The bedrooms are a good size and the house was warm. We loved the log burners in the lounge and the snug- it was very cosy. I especially loved the dining table, beautiful wood. We spent alot of time playing games on it. My grandchildren enjRead moreoyed bouncing on the trampoline, it was a huge success. I would recommend this house to any family. Hide

Beautiful well equipped cottage in lovely countryside. Everyone in our group aged 10-70 enjoyed watching the birds in the mornings around the bird feeder which is opposite the Lounge window, especially seeing a Nuthatcher, Woodpecker and the pair of Pheasants

Forebrae was an incredible place to stay! We will definitely come back. Where it was located was so central to everywhere and the local village of Dunkeld is so picturesque. You can drive out to see local fluffy cows (Highland cows), take local walks, you can take a day trip to the Highlands, the coast or Edinburgh. And of course the wood burner waRead mores so cosy and the whole house incredibly equipped, it has everything you need for a wonderful holiday and rest. Definitely recommend it highly. Hide

Forebrae is such a beautiful place to stay. Setting is just stunning, and so peaceful. You can just sit and watch the wildlife as they stroll thru the garden. We saw a herd of deer and a little bambi and mum wandered across the lawn. The house has everything you could need and the kitchen equipment is excellent. We have stayed twice as a group of 1Read more0 and the house bothvisits has been spotless and well maintained. We love that there is a good mix of sleeping arrangements as well. Home from home! Hide

The house was great. Well stocked with everything you need, lots pans and glassware, (Not always the case with holiday rentals). We stayed 4 nights and loved it. Well kept but with a lot of character and charm. Not far from the local village which has everything you need. Highly recommend this cottage.
