Home description
Breath-taking views from the church tower and balcony set St Ninian's Church Tower Apartment apart. Recently converted, the Tower Apartment combines original features like exposed church walls and beams, with the comforts of modern living to give a unique superb quality of holiday experience.
As you might guess from its name, in this conversion of a former Church, there are 4 flights of stairs leading to the Apartment front door. Once in the Tower Apartment, there is a further flight of stairs to the living room/kitchen area, and other flight to the very top of the tower. The building does not have a lift.
The Tower Apartment comfortably sleeps up to 8 people. On the entry floor, there are 2 double rooms (both of which have luxury en-suite wet-rooms rooms, with under-floor heating) and a twin room, together with a large family bathroom. All bedrooms are decorated to highest standards of style and quality. All the bedding is from The White Company. From the first floor, you enter the light-flooded Tower, with the steel staircase. The Tower has retained its originally features in the old stone walls and evangelistic windows. Halfway up the Tower staircase, you enter the large open plan living area, with the balcony at one end and the kitchen at the other. The balcony enjoys wonderful views over the Crieff hills and beyond. Off the living area, is the amazing cinema room with 42" Plasma wall-mounted TV, together with comfy sofa and arm-chairs.
Continuing up the staircase, you reach the top of the tower, with spectacular 3600C views across Crieff and the surrounding hills. From top of the library, you can relax in the comfortable armchairs, and enjoy the views.
The Tower Apartment has solid oak wooden flooring throughout the entire property. The Apartment is furnished to an exceptional high standard, with a tasteful mix of the antique and modern furniture. There is brilliant collection of original artwork throughout the Apartment. Real attention to detail in the Tower Apartment is everywhere.

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.
