Award Winning Ideal Rural Escape in Earn Valley 5 min from Perth
This traditional cottage has been beautifully restored to a very high standard; bright & stylishly furnished with an open plan kitchen/living area with underfloor heating. The open plan area comprises a well equipped kitchen with integrated appliances, comfortable dining and additional seating in the glass extension to catch the morning sun with a coffee from the Nespresso machine. The living area has comfortable seating, a flat screen TV and a well-stocked wood burning stove.
The bedrooms are both ensuite; the master having a roll top bath in the bathroom. A door from the twin room leads onto a patio with a cafe style table & chairs perfect for morning coffee. A separate outhouse is provided as a perfect wet kit boot room. There is a stainless steel sink, washing machine, tumble drier and overhead pulley for drying clothes.
In addition to two laid lawn areas to the front of the cottage there are two separate decking areas for al fresco dining and BBQs. Deck chairs are also provided to relax and enjoy the outdoors.
As part of our commitment to the environment we used to use refillable products from Scottish Fine Soaps in the bathrooms. We have replaced these with smaller single use bottles (any not used are not recycled to the next guests).

Lovely place, great accommodation, heated floors and towel warmers, quiet, ample parking, great places to eat. The wood stove kept us toasty. Hope to stay here again sometime.
This cottage was warm and welcoming from the moment we unlocked the door. We stayed 4 nights but wished we had booked more. From the heated floors to the soaking tub and the beautiful walk to the river everything was 5 stars.
We had a wonderful stay here. The cottage was great, beautifully decorated, had everything we needed. Bright and in a lovely area. Loved watching the lambs in the field beside us.
Short distance to pubs, farm shops etc. Can't wait to come back. Thank you.
What a fantastic property. The house was spotless on our arrival and so well equipped. First impression was that it was a Show Home, both inside and out. The beds were very comfortable and the duvets were amazing. We had a great time exploring the local area and there was no need for any heating as the weather was lovely and warm. We would recommend this home to anyone. The Lees.
Very professionally run Vrbo. The place was spotless.
All communication with Vrbo ownership was prompt and excellent. Lesley & Donryn are excellent communicators and thank you both for giving us a great anniversary vacation.
Earn River Cottage was our home away from home for 10 glorious days. The location is ideal for exploring the area. Nearby Gloagburn Farm Shop and Kirkstyle Inn for dining were just a few of our favourites. The cottage is very well appointed, and the welcome basket was a real treat. We will be returning very soon.
Really nice cottage off the beaten track near Perth. We found it a great home base for our visits e.g. to Stirling, Edinburgh and Aberfeldy. The cottage is very well equipped - nothing we were missing. The hosts were very friendly and responsive as well. Definitely recommended.
We've previously stayed in their larger property a few miles away and had a fantastic time. This time didn't disappoint either. Their standards are impeccable, I defy anyone to stay there and say there was something the owners hadn't thought of because we couldn't think of anything. The treats there on arrival are a lovely touch, cleanliness 1st rate, fantastic open plan living, very comfortable beds and country living but with Perth only 10 minutes drive away. As my heading says, just superb and we will be booking again for next year!
A wonderful property to stay in for a holiday. Warm, welcoming, comfortable, spotless, quiet with a terrific outlook onto woods and fields. Lovely welcome pack on arrival, clear instructions for appliances and the well stocked wood burner. We loved listening to the many birds, spotted red squirrel and deer and all from the inspired front conservatory! We experienced sun hot enough to lie out in, rain, wind and even snow on the last day. Excellently positioned for visiting other towns and the local pub, 10 minutes away, was a delight. We will definitely book again, hopefully in a different season to witness the trees in leaf.
Four of us (2 adults and 2 teenagers) were lucky to stay in this cottage for a week.
We were greeted with a lovingly packed basket of local goodies.
The cottage itself leaves nothing to be desired. The kitchen is very well equipped and the rooms are lovingly furnished.
The Earn River is accessible via a private entrance.
Due to its location, Perth can be reached in 5-10 minutes. Cities such as Edinburgh or Glasgow can also be reached within an hour.
Nature and hiking areas can also be reached quickly and easily.
The house exceeded our expectations and helped us to relax and calm down.
We would love to come back anytime.

There are not enough superlatives to describle this house - and it is a large 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom house - not a cottage. It is well laid out, fully-equipped and clearly fits in a "superior" category - no wonder it has won awards. It is in a private, peaceful location and there is a short bushland path to your own isolated picnic table on the banks of the Earn River. The property description and photos are accurate but cannot convey how nice this place is. In the country but close to Perth, with both a large Tesco and well equipped farm shop/cafe 10 minutes away. There is also a quaint country pub within a short drive. The beds are excellent. Donryn is a great host and responds promptly. Highly recommended.
Charming cottage just minutes from Perth. Soaps and shampoos in bathroom and crisp, clean linens and towels. We appreciated the slippers and housecoats and we enjoyed the welcome basket. The Kirkstyle Pub in nearby Dunning was fantastic as was Gloagburn Farm Market. Hope to return someday.

5-star + accommodation - excellent
Wonderful base for looking at Perthshire. Although the weather was mixed, it was always lovely to return to the cottage to enjoy a most comfortable evening. The proprietors had thought of everything!

Fantastic property to relax and hide away from it all, but only 10 minutes west of Perth.
We had a fabulous time here, by stocking the fridge & switching off for 3 days. The property had everything we needed & we were well looked after before & on our arrival by the Lesley.

A Spring Break
This is our second visit to Earne Cottage, I don’t think it will be our last. The cottage has everything you need and as in immaculate condition, exactly as described on the website. We found it to be an ideal base for exploring around Scotland.
