Dunkeld Perthshire Rural Lodge Retreat

Strawberry Lodge
West Essendy
Dunkeld
Perthshire

This beautifully-presented, detached Lodge Retreat is tucked away on a farm in rural Wester Essendy, near Dunkeld, Perthshire. With a toasty wood burning stove, a contemporary open-plan living space, and loch views, this dog-friendly haven invites families and friends, idyllic for an escape to the picturesque countryside of Scotland.

Inside, you will be greeted by a spacious open-plan area, the perfect place to spend quality time with your loved ones.

Rustle up an evening meal in the well-equipped kitchen, dine for four around the oak table, and look forward to unwinding in the sitting area as the evenings grow darker.

Here, you can snuggle up together and enjoy the warmth of the wood burning stove, ideal for those chillier nights.

After a long day of exploring, relax by watching a movie on the TV, or set the mood for a special occasion with music on the Echo Dot.

When sleep calls, retire to one of the two well-accompanied bedrooms.

Move through the property to discover a king-size and twin bedroom awaits you to catch your night’s rest.

The king-size room has the luxury of an en-suite with sleek walk-in shower ensuring you can get ready for the day in style, while the main bathroom has an enclosed shower and boasts a beautiful freestanding bath which can be closed off from the main bathroom creating a secluded bathing room to ensure an undisturbed indulgent soak.

For those longer stays, this abode features a handy utility room housing a washing machine and tumble dryer, as well as an emergency torch and first aid kit for your peace of mind. In the summer months, spend your evenings outside soaking up the tranquility of your surroundings in the spacious garden, complete with a barbecue and fire pit – perfect for enjoying al fresco dining and toasting marshmallows under the starlit sky.

Take in the stunning countryside and idyllic loch views while enjoying some well-deserved relaxation in this peaceful setting.

Return year after year with a stay at Strawberry Cottage.
