Tucked into five acres of private woodland on the banks of the River Tay, The Ferry Cottage is a beautifully restored 1870s cottage in the heart of Highland Perthshire. Once home to the historic Cluny Ferry, this characterful cottage now offers an idyllic escape for couples, families or friends (and dogs!), sleeping up to four guests in two luxurious king-size beds with river views. Inside, country charm meets modern comfort: a spacious kitchen, dining room with log burner and convertible pool table, cosy lounge with open fire, Smart TV and Xbox, two bathrooms including a roll-top bath, and thoughtful extras from bathrobes to essential pantry supplies. Dog friendly, with private parking, EV charger, Wi-Fi and no hidden cleaning or energy charges, everything is designed for a relaxed, effortless stay.
Step outside and the magic truly unfolds. Your own private stretch of riverbank invites wild swims, morning coffees by the water and evenings around the fire pit as the sun sets in the west. The wood-fired sauna and hot tub overlook the Tay and mountains beyond. There is plenty of wildlife around - red squirrels, herons and even beavers frequent the grounds - while fishing enthusiasts can cast directly from the garden for trout and grayling (with salmon fishing available by permit). Whether dining al fresco, stargazing from the tub or curling up by the log burner, The Ferry Cottage offers a private stretch of the Tay to enjoy all to yourself.
Perfectly positioned just 10 minutes from Aberfeldy and within easy reach of Dunkeld, Pitlochry and Loch Tay, the cottage is a gateway to some of Scotland’s most spectacular landscapes. Explore ancient forests, climb Munros such as Schiehallion and Ben Lawers, canoe or raft on the River Tay at Grandtully, or browse independent shops, cafés and a local whisky distillery in town. Both the Cairngorms National Park and Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park are within easy driving distance, opening even more opportunities for adventures and gorgeous scenery. Excellent road links connect you easily to Edinburgh and Glasgow, yet here you’ll feel a world away. With flexible breaks, simple self-check-in and exclusive use of the entire property and grounds, The Ferry Cottage is an unforgettable riverside escape in Big Tree Country.
