At Dupplin Estate safety is our number one priority. We are taking all the steps possible to ensure your safety when you stay with us. Properties are left vacant for 72hrs between stays and we have invested in a fogging machine to safely disinfect the property in addition to our new Covid-19 cleaning protocols. We are a member of the Scottish Association of Self Caterers who have been instrumental in producing the new strict 2-stage (Clean & Disinfect) cleaning protocols which we have adopted. During the height of the pandemic, we offered free Medical stays to support doctors and nurses who needed an emergency base. We had to abide by incredibly strict cleaning protocols and as a result we feel confident that we can provide you with a safe environment for you to relax in. All of our cleaning and admin staff have undertaken the Landlord’s Little Helper Covid-19 Holiday Let Cleaning course. This together with our own COVID-19 cleaning checklists and risk assessments allow us to reassure you that safety is the number one priority for anyone staying at Dupplin Estate. We take this responsibility seriously both for you and also for our staff and community. We have invested in additional PPE, hand sanitiser, disinfectants specifically for COVID-19 and a fogging machine for use between stays to ensure the property is fully disinfected. This uses a food safe chemical and poses no risk but allows us to ensure we can guarantee a thorough disinfection of the property. We will continue to keep a close eye on government guidelines and changes to cleaning protocols as more research is done into Covid-19. Some of the lovely soft furnishings which add to the atmosphere in our cottages have sadly had to be removed (until we have a vaccine) so please forgive us if it is not as ‘pretty’ as it looks in some of the photographs. We have some books in the property, but the pages have not been cleaned on every stay (our 72hr vacancy between stays should deal with this). The guest information folder is cleaned between stays. There is disinfectant and hand sanitiser under the sink if you need it at any stage during your stay. We usually provide canisters of coffee, tea and sugar. We have now switched to sachets which are not reused for the next guest if you don’t use them. As part of our commitment to the environment we used to use refillable products from Scottish Fine Soaps in the bathrooms. We have replaced these with smaller single use bottles (any not used are not recycled to the next guests).

Lovely place, great accommodation, heated floors and towel warmers, quiet, ample parking, great places to eat. The wood stove kept us toasty. Hope to stay here again sometime.
This cottage was warm and welcoming from the moment we unlocked the door. We stayed 4 nights but wished we had booked more. From the heated floors to the soaking tub and the beautiful walk to the river everything was 5 stars.
Earn River Cottage was our home away from home for 10 glorious days. The location is ideal for exploring the area. Nearby Gloagburn Farm Shop and Kirkstyle Inn for dining were just a few of our favourites. The cottage is very well appointed, and the welcome basket was a real treat. We will be returning very soon.
Great cottage. Lovely decor and log fire. Everything you would need. Very relaxing. Not a fan of Internet TV. Needs a Sky box

Excellent location and nicely appointed property
It was great - location ideal for seeing the area and nice and peaceful- enjoyed walking and relaxing in the property also - would recommend it to others
Very professionally run Vrbo. The place was spotless.
All communication with Vrbo ownership was prompt and excellent. Lesley & Donryn are excellent communicators and thank you both for giving us a great anniversary vacation.
We had a wonderful stay here. The cottage was great, beautifully decorated, had everything we needed. Bright and in a lovely area. Loved watching the lambs in the field beside us.
Short distance to pubs, farm shops etc. Can't wait to come back. Thank you.
On arrival we looked at the cottage, it was wonderful. The inside was just as good. We saw a abundance of wildlife and had a fabulous stay.

5-star + accommodation - excellent
Wonderful base for looking at Perthshire. Although the weather was mixed, it was always lovely to return to the cottage to enjoy a most comfortable evening. The proprietors had thought of everything!
Really nice cottage off the beaten track near Perth. We found it a great home base for our visits e.g. to Stirling, Edinburgh and Aberfeldy. The cottage is very well equipped - nothing we were missing. The hosts were very friendly and responsive as well. Definitely recommended.

Fantastic property to relax and hide away from it all, but only 10 minutes west of Perth.
We had a fabulous time here, by stocking the fridge & switching off for 3 days. The property had everything we needed & we were well looked after before & on our arrival by the Lesley.

A Spring Break
This is our second visit to Earne Cottage, I don’t think it will be our last. The cottage has everything you need and as in immaculate condition, exactly as described on the website. We found it to be an ideal base for exploring around Scotland.

A delightful cottage in a lovely location. Well thought out and presented. Will return.
Fantastic 'away from it all' cottage. This cottage is hidden away in rural surroundings but a 5 minute drive from Perth City centre, making it a great base to explore Perthshire. It is beautifully decorated with extremely tasteful furnishings and fittings of a very high standard. It also has its very own private beach (pebble) on the river Earn. Highly recommend this cottage and will definitely be back.
We had such an amazing stay at Earn Cottage. The accommodations were just perfect and really enjoyed the claw tub for a soothing bath. The property is great and we took a few strolls. It was so nice to see the baby sheep as we drove into the property and even had a local pheasant pecking at the window to say hello. Did a lot of day trips so it was convenient. Would definitely come back for another stay. thanks again
Four of us (2 adults and 2 teenagers) were lucky to stay in this cottage for a week.
We were greeted with a lovingly packed basket of local goodies.
The cottage itself leaves nothing to be desired. The kitchen is very well equipped and the rooms are lovingly furnished.
The Earn River is accessible via a private entrance.
Due to its location, Perth can be reached in 5-10 minutes. Cities such as Edinburgh or Glasgow can also be reached within an hour.
Nature and hiking areas can also be reached quickly and easily.
The house exceeded our expectations and helped us to relax and calm down.
We would love to come back anytime.
We would love to come back.
A wonderful property to stay in for a holiday. Warm, welcoming, comfortable, spotless, quiet with a terrific outlook onto woods and fields. Lovely welcome pack on arrival, clear instructions for appliances and the well stocked wood burner. We loved listening to the many birds, spotted red squirrel and deer and all from the inspired front conservatory! We experienced sun hot enough to lie out in, rain, wind and even snow on the last day. Excellently positioned for visiting other towns and the local pub, 10 minutes away, was a delight. We will definitely book again, hopefully in a different season to witness the trees in leaf.

Wonderful Relaxing Stay
We have just checked out of this cottage after enjoying a wonderful few days over New Year. The property is finished to a very high standard and is very cosy with underfloor heating as well as a log burner. There was a welcome hamper for us when we arrived, including some champagne, which was a nice touch. It's in a great location for access to the highlands. It was a shame to leave and we would love to come back some day.
