Garden view

Soak up the view during your stay.
Country house in the heart of Perthshire, gateway to the highlands, with a large enclosed garden and free on street parking. Stanley is a friendly village just 7 miles north of Perth. Only an hour from Glasgow and Edinburgh, the perfect country retreat. The River Tay is a five minute walk from the house, so ideal for anglers. There are two village pubs and two great restaurants within walking distance. The perfect place to unwind after a busy day exploring beautiful Highland Perthshire.

The space
The house has a cosy sitting room on the first floor which has beautiful views across the countryside. There is a sofa and easy chairs, a wood stove effect electric heater, TV with Netflix and a stereo. The kitchen and dining room are well equipped with everything you should need for a comfortable stay. There are three bedrooms, one is a double with king-size bed, which has an en suite shower room, one is a double and one is a twin. There is a main bathroom with a bath with shower over, basin and WC. Heating is electric included in the rent.

The house is very quirky and full of character. It used to be a sweetie shop, hence the name. We have a photo on display in the house taken around 100 years ago showing it when it was a sweetie shop. There is a large south facing, fully enclosed garden at the back of the house which is an oasis for wildlife. The pond has Goldfish alongside a resident toad!! You can relax and enjoy the birds visiting the feeders. We have so many lovely varieties that visit. From the resident House-Sparrows, to Goldfinches, Nuthatches, Blue-tits, Coal-tits, Song-thrushes and if you are lucky you can sometimes see the Osprey fishing over the River Tay at the back of the house.
