Stunning pet friendly house for 12 with hot tub

The Old Manse is a delightful 18th century house lying in the tiny hamlet of Monzie, just 3 miles north of Crieff. Surrounded by the glorious Perthshire countryside, it is an idyllic spot and ideally located to explore much of Scotland. It's a very spacious house so perfect for a gathering of family or friends to celebrate a special occasion or for a longer holiday - dogs are very welcome too. Perthshire offers stunning scenery and a huge variety of things to do and most of Scotland is easily reached from the house. The surrounding hills, glens and lochs provide interesting walks (lots from the doorstep), cycling (on and off road), hill climbing, water sports, off-road driving, archery, fishing, shooting and stalking. There are lots of good golf courses nearby including a championship 18 hole course in Crieff, and Gleneagles is just 12 miles away, with its three championship courses, equestrian centre and shooting school. Stirling (with its magnificent castle) is just 40 minutes away, and all the many attractions of Edinburgh and Glasgow are easily reached by train or car in an hour. Crieff is a historic small town with an amazing range of restaurants and cafes, a fabulous fishmonger, butcher, delicatessen and baker, as well as 2 supermarkets. The oldest distillery in Scotland at Glenturret is just 2 miles from the house. Perth has a great array of independent shops, art galleries, museum, theatre and concert hall. There are lots of fabulous castles, historic homes and gardens in the area to visit too. Wildlife is everywhere: red kites, sea eagles, ospreys, golden eagles (if you are very lucky!), lapwings, oyster catchers, magnificent skeins of geese, red squirrels, hedgehogs, otters and deer. Hen and stag parties are very welcome - there are 2 spas nearby, gin and whisky distilleries nearly on the doorstep as well as an outdoor pursuits centre just 3 miles away. Or you may prefer just to relax at the Old Manse: perhaps playing a game of croquet, unwinding in the garden admiring the views (in or out of the hot tub!) or putting your feet up in front of the fire!
