The Keeper's Cottage at Straloch Estate has everything you desire for a peaceful, relaxing stay surrounded by a stunning pastoral landscape at the foot of the Cairngorms. As a party of 2, we had more than enough space to spread out in this two-story, two-bedroom, two-bath cottage. The first thing we noticed after stepping foot into the pristine modern kitchen, was a welcome basket from Lucy, the owner. Two luscious scones, accompanied by butter and Pinkster Gin Jam, and a basket of freshly laid eggs were left with a sweet note, as well as a Pinkster G&T starter kit! The bedrooms were spacious with ample storage for our luggage and feature a vanity, coat rack and full length mirror. The clawfoot bathtub is everything you're imagining, and I was lucky enough to enjoy two long hot baths during our stay. The cottage is supplied with Highland Soap Co. products, even shampoo and conditioner, which you can buy in nearby Pitlochry, a short 20 minute drive away. The kitchen is well stocked with all the essentials like spices, crockery, pots and pans, even a precious "egg coop" which housed the eggs until we were ready to use them. We prepared a hot breakfast each morning and dinner one evening. When the temps dipped, we threw a few logs into the wood fire and enjoyed the warm glow with a G&T and a dram. At night, darkness takes on a new meaning thanks to this unspoiled remote setting with only the light from a distant home flickering a few miles away. And if the ubiquitous Scottish rains come down, not to worry. The unit has two mudrooms - one at the front and the other at the back - with plenty of hooks for coats and hats. The beauty surrounding this property is hard to describe, but I'll do my best. You can spot the whitewashed exterior and bright blue door from the endlessly winding A924. Driving up the long gravel drive leading to the cottage, you're rewarded with jaw-dropping views of the estates rolling hills, glistening loch and their flock of grazing sheep. A gentle stroll up the lane will bring you to the secret garden, where guests are welcome to collect eggs each morning from the chicken coop. Just be prepared to get dead-eyed stares from several curious sheep along the way. Thistle grow wild along this lane, so be sure to keep watch for Scotland's national symbol. If you're considering an escape to the Scottish Highlands, make this your home base. You won't regret it.
