As seen in The Times, experience life on your very own Scottish country estate at this large house made for socialising where you can play croquet on the lawn, fish in the loch and take a scenic walk through the glen.
Glenshee House is a Georgian manor in beautiful highland Perthshire that was built as a shooting lodge and is set within 20 acres of private grounds on a country estate. Today, it offers a magical place for a reunion or special celebration with family or friends, surrounded by stunning glen and mountain vistas. With a large lawned area including space for putting and croquet, as well as the opportunity to fish or row a boat on the loch, plus a children’s playground and a baby grand piano all to yourselves, it’s the perfect holiday home in Scotland to enjoy carefree days together.
Glenshee House retains many of its original Georgian features including open fires and an array of large reception rooms where everyone can find ways to relax, stay entertained or socialise.
The Drawing Room has comfy sofa seating and a lovely open fire making it the perfect place to curl up with a good book. With views over the grounds to admire and a baby grand piano longing to be played, this is also a great backdrop for sophisticated soirees or social singalongs.
If you’d prefer to watch TV, the Sitting Room has Sky TV with Sky Sports, as well as a DVD player and a cosy open fire. Or there’s the Play Room which doubles as a Movie Room with Sky TV, DVD player, a Nintendo Wii console and a range of games and books suitable for all ages.
