Woodside Kinloch

This is Woodside. It’s near Kinloch in Perthshire. It’s attached to our house, but you have your own entrance and space. It’s private.

It sleeps four, with two bedrooms and a bathroom on each floor. It’s got a 4 Star rating, so it’s comfortable and well equipped.

The setting is the main thing. It’s surrounded by woods. You’ll often see deer and red squirrels from the windows. You’re welcome to walk in the woods. There’s an old ruined castle in the grounds too, which is interesting.

There’s a private hot tub in the garden.

If you’re coming in winter, the lane up to the house is a climb. It’s steep. A four-wheel drive is better for it in snow or ice. Other cars might struggle.
