Beautiful cottage in lovely location

We really enjoyed our stay in Little Puddockwells. This charming cottage is well- equipped, spotlessly clean and certainly big enough for two. Lots to do and see in the area. Very friendly host.

A great start

This was the first stop on our first visit to Scotland and it could not have been better. The cottage, Little Pudockwells, is nicely renovated stone cottage situated on a farm a few miles outside the village of Dunkeld. After walking some of the many woodland trails in the area and dining in Dunkeld it was great to retreat to our quiet cottage and listen to the birds sing.

The accommodation was superb:- the cottage was spotless and there everything you needed for a five day stay or even longer. The setting was delightful from the squirrels to the pheasants strolling through the garden. The owners were great: helpful, friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Would definitely recommend this stay to others and hopefully we will go back. Thanks to the Cox family

Beautiful Cottage and Location.

We have just returned from our week's stay at Little Puddockswell Cottage. The cottage was situated in a beautiful area with Dunkeld and Blairgowrie not to far away. We were met by Andrea who was a really lovely host. The cottage was so well equipped with everything you needed, it also had its own resident squirrels which my son and grandson loved to watch eating the nuts every morning and evening. We had such a wonderful stay and will definitely book to stay again in the near future.

Beautiful cottage and stunningy location

We had a wonderful stay at Little Puddockwells Cottage which had all the amenities needed to the week. Owner super helpful and easily contactable. Immediate surroundings perfect for walking our dog. We can see why Dunkeld has been voted the best town in Scotland to live. The Taybank pub serves excellent food with a large dinning room upstairs and small cosy pub (often with live fiddle and accordion music) downstairs. Dogs are most welcome. They also have a large beer garden leading down to the Tay. Aran Bakery also a must visit. Stay at Puddockwells and you won’t regret it!

Relax in peaceful surroundings

We have been returning to this comfortable, comprehensively equipped cottage for several years. Its delightful, peaceful situation provides a variety of interesting walks from its own front door, and there is enough information in the cottage to suggest no end of trips further affield, according to taste. The whole area gives an excellent introduction to the Highlands of Scotland. Dunkeld has a good range of eating places and there are plenty of other choices nearby. A friendly and helpful owner completews what is an excellent package. Highly recommended. Alison and Terry Alsi E. Yorks

If you like solitude this holiday cottage is perfrct

Excellent communication with the owners prior to arrival meant check in was seamless (be aware that if you arrive in the dark the house signage isn’t easy to read). The cottage is warm and comfortable with everything you would need for a home from home self catering holiday. The cottage is placed at the end of an unmade up road and was so quiet (perfect for our reactionary rescue dog). It would have helped if a small section of the outside area was fenced off to let our dog out off lead. In the summer views from the outside of the cottage must be wonderful but in the winter there is less to see from inside the cottage. Our only other request would be for some more floor protection and hooks for wet and muddy boots and waterproof clothing. All in all a good value cottage and one we would use again.

Thank you for making such a great place available to others.

The secluded location was perfect for a get-away-from-it-all. If we forgot anything we were only a few minutes from local shops and restaurants. We felt very comfortable with the layout of everything, the cleanliness and the facilities. While we were there, we saw red squirrels, a cuckoo, and deer. It was great to sit in the garden, with a wine, and have peace and quiet of the countryside. It was a safe place for our dog to roam free. Only a few minutes from the A9, it's a great central location with access to Perth, all places north and west.

I was meeting friends for a stay in Scotland. The were happy with a dog friendly town hotel as they live in Toronto. I and my dog come from rural wilts. My dog would never cope in a town. This was ideal. Close to my friends. Private, quiet, good dog walking and very comfortable. Loved it.

We had a thoroughly restful and enjoyable time in this attractive cottage in the woods. What a wonderful location! The cottage is extremely comfortable and very well equipped. In fact, everything that you may need during your stay. A very friendly welcome from Andrea. We felt like we were in a home from home. A great base for days-out and walks from the door. We would definitely stay there again and recommend to everyone. Thanks for a lovely stay Andea and Will.

About the host

Hosted by Andrea Cox

We are a family of 5. I am a teacher, my husband is a Director at Landrover Experience Scotland and we have 3 grown up children. We have lived in Dunkeld since 1997 and just love living in such a beautiful part of Highland Perthshire.

Why they chose this property

The cottage is next door to us and we completely renovated it by taking it back to the 4 stone walls and starting again. It is now a modern, cosy cottage with all mod cons and wonderful views over the beautiful countryside. My husband was born and lived in this area until he was 18 and it was lovely returning to the area to live as a family in 1997.

What makes this property unique

The scenery and absolute peace and quiet while watching and listening to the wildlife around.
