Denhead Cottage
About the home
Denhead Cottage is a recently modernised country cottage apartment. It has a large sunny conservatory lounge with large patio door that opens onto a secluded patio with electric sunshade and plants. The patio is private and not overlooked and is a lovely place to sit out and relax. For that quiet drink inside or out there is a small bar fitted into the corner of the lounge with an ice-maker and cooler.

The apartment is heated by easily controlled oil central heating.

The Tayside / Perthshire / Angus/Dundee region


Central Scotland is an ideal place to be based. It is between the lively cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow and the picturesque Highlands of Scotland. Perth sits almost central and is known as the "Gateway to the Highlands", whilst Dundee is farther east along the meandering famous Tay. The hills between Perth and Dundee (Carse of Gowrie) are dotted with Scottish Castles and Keeps, whilst the fertile land is mainly used for fruit growing.
The Old Course of St.Andrews and the Championship course of Carnoustie lie only about 30 mins away. Famous Glamis Castle, Broughty Ferry Castle and Claypotts Castle are worth a visit as is Scone Palace where Kings of Scotland were crowned on the Stone of Destiny.
The Dundee / Fowlis area
The well known Downfield, and municipal Camperdown Park and Caird Park Golf Courses are only 5 minutes away with the local course at Piper Dam Resort only 1km from the Cottage. These suit not only the holiday golfer but also the more serious player. There is Trout Fishing available locally in small lochs and if horse riding is your interest we can provide grazing and stabling beside the cottage so you can have your own riding holiday. A local riding map is provided. There is also a Riding School within 3km where lessons or ride outs are available.
The area is also suitable for cyclists of all disciplines with road and off road tracks shown on a map.
Good cinemas and theatres are closeby in Dundee and Perth, with a cinema and ice skating arena in a complex only 5 minutes away.
A list of recommended restaurants and out of the way places to eat is provided, along with night clubs and bars for those of you wanting to let your hair down! Quality restaurants to cosy country pubs provide varied menus, all within easy reach of the Cottage.
The owner has a collection of Classic vehicles which he is only too happy to show them to those interested. His wife keeps and rides horses.

We have stayed at Denhead cottage a number of times. The cottage is well maintained and a home from home. The setting is relaxing with lots of wildlife. The city of Dundee is close and there are lots of interesting places to visit including Captain Scott's RRS Discovery and Sensations.An enjoyable drive away is St Andrews the home of golf. While staying at Denhead there is also the added bonus of guest membership to Piperdam Leisure facilities. Response: It is always nice to see previous holiday makers back again as it means we must be doing something right! Being situated where it is the cottage is in easy reach of a variety of activities and places to go, so it doesn't surprise us that those who stay here like its situation. |

Our second stay at Denhead, and again we had a brilliant time there. Once you have mastered how to reverse into the wee space, you will appreciate this lovely cottage and its excellent location. Response: I am pleased that you had a good second stay at the Cottage. We are lucky to live in this lovely place and are finding more guests are returning for the same reasons we love it here. |
