Home description
Aberturret is a lovely traditional cottage set in the grounds of an old Dower House close to the River Turret on the outskirts of the popular tourist town of Crieff. Tastefully decorated throughout, the cottage provides comfortable and cosy accommodation. It is well equipped throughout and has lots of books, games and videos for you to enjoy. Aberturret Cottage has its own huge garden (complete with river running through) and lots of mature plants and trees.
There are a series of delightful walks from the cottage doorstep and the area is also excellent for cycling - particularly mountain biking. Crieff is just one mile away and has extensive shops, restaurants, a leisure pool and tennis courts. There are two 18-hole golf courses (one a short walk away from the cottage). We even have a distillery (Scotland’s oldest) just a couple of minutes’ walk from the cottage.
Aberturret Cottage provides an excellent base for your stay in Perthshire. The scenery surrounding Crieff is magnificent with the rivers Earn and Turret providing the contrast with the peaks of the surrounding mountains. Within close reach are Callander and The Trossachs, famous castles such as Stirling and Blair Atholl, while the West Coast, Perth, Edinburgh and Fife are easily accessible for a day’s visit
The Central Scotland/Edinburgh region
Perthshire is a gem among Scotland's counties and perfectly situated in Scotland for a self-catering holiday. Visiting historic castles, museums, gardens, superb golf, walking and beaches; with such diversity of scenery, activities and things to do and see, visitors cannot fail to find entertainment and interest to suit.
Perthshire / Crieff area
Visit the magnificent highland Perthshire Blair Castle, home to the Dukes of Atholl, not to mention the nearby centre of excellence for Scottish produce at House of Bruar. Walk at Bruar Falls, visit the nearby highland town of Pitlochry with its famous fish ladder and Festival Theatre and shops selling quality Scottish tartans and crafts. Wonder at the underwater archaeology (still on-going) that’s produced the replica stone-age settlement and visitor centre, The Crannog with nearby Kenmore and Aberfeldy. Travel by the Sma’ Glen to Crieff, a typical highland town with the nearby distillery the Famous Grouse Experience. The glorious gardens in this area are known worldwide by planstmen - at their best in May or June, but well worth a visit at any time of year, such as Branklyn, Kellie and Drummond Castles.
Scone Palace is close to Perth and the fairy-tale Glamis Castle, birthplace of the Queen Mother, is in Angus. Falkland Palace, Kellie Castle and others await your visit. If family history is your passion, there’s ample opportunity to research your roots via the Tay Valley Family History Society and other centres.
