Craigellie
Set in the owner’s spacious grounds this charming, Grade B listed property, just one mile from Alyth, forms a wing of the main house, allegedly the last mansion house to be built in Scotland. The property has been recently upgraded with green measures taking high priority. A log-fired biomass boiler heats the whole house and much of the electricity is generated by a solar array in the adjacent paddock. At this very private and peaceful location, guests can enjoy the beautiful grounds and maybe even a visit from a red squirrel to the feeder at the kitchen window! The rooms are airy and bright and one of the bedrooms can be flexibly made up with either twin beds or a super-king double bed. The house comfortably sleeps four but also works very well for a couple, or up to six using the sofa bed located in the snug off the living room. A lovely sunny area of the garden is provided for guests and the bench at the front of the cottage is ideal for morning coffee in the sun. Many short and long walks can be accessed from the property and the beautiful, wooded paths in the Den of Alyth are just outside the gates of Craigellie.
Alyth is well located for visiting many attractions, including Glamis Castle, Scone Palace, the fair city of Perth, known for its culture, shopping and leisure facilities and Dundee for Discovery Point and the Victoria & Albert Museum . Pitlochry, with its famous fish ladder and festival theatre, St Andrews, well known for its golf, Arbroath, for smokies and coastal walks and Braemar in the heart of the Cairngorms National Park are all just an hour’s drive away.
Closer to home the Cateran Trail, a circular, long distance, way-marked route is a must for serious walkers, with two sections departing from Alyth. Golfers are spoilt for choice with several courses nearby, including the championship course at Rosemount in Blairgowrie. Cyclists will enjoy meandering along the lovely country lanes or visiting Alyth Bike Park, a small trail centre with a Pump Track designed for all standards of mountain bikers. The area is well known for its rolling countryside and soft fruit production, so in the summer months be sure to sample local jams and cream teas at the local tea rooms and cafés. Alyth, with shops, a pub, a restaurant and an interesting history, is an easy walk or a short drive away.
