Built over 150 years ago and totally renovated 17 years ago the cottage now offers a comfortable,modernised home from home for up to 6 guests with all amenities to ensure a comfortable and peaceful home from home.
On the ground floor is a large farmhouse style kitchen the heart of the cottage with large American style fridge/freezer, large kitchen table seating p to 8+, dishwasher, electric ovens and gas hob. The utility/boot room is off the kitchen with washing machine, tumble dryer and ironing facilities. Wet outdoor clothing and footwear will dry overnight thanks to the underfloor heating and we advise to remove shoes and boots here to protect the wooden floors and carpets.
From the kitchen you enter the original part of the cottage where there is a cosy hub with wood burning stove, SMART TV, two couches and a great place for the chldren and adults alike to hang out and play board games. A handy separate toilet and the en-suite bedroom with king sized bed and bathroom. (bath with electric shower over) are also on this floor.
Stairs lead you to the upper floor where there is the twin bedded room, super king sized bedroom, a large walk in shower with toilet and a stunning upstairs lounge with balcony off. Large comfy sofas, SMART TV,Sonas speaker and beautiful views of the garden, hills and mountains making this the place to relax after a days sightseeing.
With underfloor heating throughout the ground floor and full gas central heating upstairs, the cottage is available all year round.
Bed linen, towels, electricity, gas and logs are included in the price and for the little ones we have a travel cot, high chair and portable stair gates.
Leading from the kitchen through sliding patio doors is the secluded garden with garden furniture, off street parking for up to 4 cars and a locked shed for bicycles. Double gates make the garden a safe haven for children.
Within walking distance of the cottage is Ballintaggart Farm where you can enjoy lazy Sunday lunches, feast nights and a cook school (booking is advisable through their website). They also own the Grandtully Hotel a short drive away in the village of Grandtully, a lively bistro with both inside and outside eating and here you will also find the Inn on the Tay, the Highland Chocolatier and lovely coffee shop serving light meals.
Pitlochry,Aberfeldy and Dunkeld have many eating establishments and coffee shops and Pitlochry also has a vibrant theatre, a salmon leap where you can view salmon coming back to the river of their origin.
Fishing permits can be obtained for local rivers and lochs, golf courses welcome visitors, water rafting on the river Tay and Tummel is not for the faint hearted but lots of fun especially for the young ones!

This house is an absolute gem and I will definitely book again, when in the area. If you are considering this house, don’t hesitate you will enjoy the quiet location, off street parking, and the views.The house itself is decorated nicely, the underfloor heating is fabulous, the large kitchen is very well stocked and we enjoyed sitting at the farmhouse table, watching the wildlife outside the patio doors. The snug was very useful for my Mum, who can no longer manage stairs (large living room upstairs ) and she enjoyed her bedroom and en suite on the ground floor. All the beds were very comfortable and again, decorated simply but nicely. Thank you for the hair dryers in every room!It’s a short drive to Pitlochry and many other local sites. Approx 2 miles away is the village of Grandtully, where we had a lovely dinner at the Grandtully Hotel by Ballintaggart. We also visited the Highland Chocolatier for a morning treat of hot chocolates etc.Overall, one of my top five stays and I’ve stayed in many rental properties over the years. it just felt like home.Thank you to Margaret (owner) for her detailed communication prior to our stay.
The front of the cottage ~ perfect place to sit and enjoy a cuppa.

Enjoyed a 4 night break at Ivy cottage, loved the layout. Extremely well stocked with cleaning & washing products. Great space to enjoy the area in & i would definitely stay here again if i was to visit the area. Margaret was very kind in allowing us to leave a number of cases & personal items at the cottage after we checked out, to be collected later on. Lots of birds in & around the garden & wildlife in the general are

Lovely Cottage

Ivy Cottage was a lovely, clean and well-appointed cottage. It was conveniently located to Pitlochry and the A9. We used it as a base for a series of family day trips to see the sights. The cottage served us well and the check in/check out was easy. This is a great place to stay and we will certainly enjoy it again in the future.

Wonderful visit.

This truly is a hidden gem. Absolutely stunning location, so peaceful. The cottage has so much room, there were 6 of us yet did not feel on top on one another having the kitchen diner plus snug and upstairs living room. Rooms are spacious and the decor is beautiful. They have literally thought of everything. True home from home. Would love to go back.

We felt at home in this lovely cottage. The atmosphere was welcoming and cosy. All we needed or we could think of was there. The kitchen and laundry room are very well equipped. We also enjoyed the garden with lots of birds to watch. The house is perfect for a large family of 6 with a big kitchen table and a sunlit family room upstairs. There were enough bathrooms too. A kitchen highlight was the american refrigerator with ice maker.
