Eastermoss Balgowan

It sleeps eight. Four bedrooms, three bathrooms, two of them are en-suites. It's got a 5 Star rating. The place is modern and well-equipped. There's a large lounge at the front and a utility room, which is handy for drying off wet gear.

The kitchen has a gas Aga. The garden at the back is private, south-facing, and has a decked area with seating.

You're about 20 minutes from Perth. From there you can easily get to Scone Palace or head out towards the Highlands. Gleneagles and its golf courses are roughly a 20-25 minute drive.

For walking, you're close to the Ben Lawers National Nature Reserve area, and Loch Tay is about half an hour north. Pitlochry is in that direction too, maybe 40 minutes. It has the salmon ladder and the Festival Theatre.
