Set in the dramatic countryside of Perthshire, where the Scottish highlands begin, this home is the ultimate rural retreat. It’s all fun and games on the ground floor where a hot tub sits in a turret, surrounded by windows looking out over the wilderness. There’s a games room and family snug, with a snooker table, dartboard, big TV and drinks trolley. Out the back door, the garden has a sunken trampoline, swing sets and plenty of room for the kids to run around. Up on the next floor, you can get social in the dine-in kitchen. A second seating area with cosy armchairs and a collection of books can be a sous chef’s hang-out. Views from the windows up here stretch all the way to Ben Vorlich in the distance. Bedrooms are split between the second and third floor, and bagging the master means sleeping sound in a four-poster bed. This place is made for activities, and its position on a holiday estate means your host can organise all kinds of experiences like mini highland games, a private chef and cocktail-making classes.
