East Quarry Cottage

East Quarry Cottage offers a peaceful retreat in the heart of Perthshire’s stunning countryside.

Originally restored from near dereliction in the 1990s and recently receiving a complete renovation, this charming cottage now provides modern comfort while retaining its traditional character.

Situated on the edge of the Bamff Wildland rewilding estate, guests can explore this pioneering rewilding project known for its natural grazing, wetlands and thriving beaver population.

The cottage has been thoughtfully modernized with a fully equipped kitchen featuring a dishwasher, washing machine, cooker, fridge freezer, tumble dryer and microwave.

The welcoming living space includes a comfortable lounge and dining area centered around a wood-burning stove, perfect for cozy evenings after a day of outdoor adventure.

Two well-appointed double bedrooms offer flexible sleeping arrangements with either king size doubles or single bed combinations, while the upstairs bathroom provides both a shower and bath.

Modern amenities include oil fired central heating throughout, 4G broadband coverage, and all linens and towels are provided. A spacious garden offers beautiful views across the farm and welcomes well-behaved dogs on leads.

The location provides an ideal base for outdoor enthusiasts. The renowned Cateran Trail passes through the farm, offering exceptional hiking opportunities directly from your doorstep.

Glenshee Ski Centre, home to some of Scotland’s finest skiing, is just a 35-minute drive away.

The surrounding area presents abundant opportunities for mountain biking and fishing, making it perfect for both active families and couples seeking outdoor pursuits.

Enjoying a secluded rural setting, East Quarry Cottage remains conveniently located near the charming towns of Alyth and Blairgowrie, where you’ll find local shops, welcoming pubs, restaurants and everyday amenities.

The cities of Dundee and Perth are within easy reach at 30 and 40 minutes’ drive respectively, perfect for day trips and shopping excursions.

The cottage’s position makes it a haven for wildlife watching. Regular visitors include majestic red deer, soaring buzzards and graceful red kites.

During summer months, swallows return to nest at the cottages, while bats can be spotted dancing through the dusk sky. The farm’s sheep complete the idyllic rural scene, grazing peacefully in the surrounding fields.

Whether you’re seeking an active family break filled with outdoor adventures or a tranquil couples’ escape surrounded by nature, East Quarry Cottage provides an excellent base for exploring the diverse attractions of Perthshire.

Is the track to the cottages rough?

Yes, while the first half of the road to the cottages is black top – it is a working farm road so there are a few minor pot holes. The second part of the road through the farm steading and down to the cottages is a rough farm track so it would be good to have a 4 wheel drive or a vehicle with decent clearance. A low sports car or similar would not be suitable.
