Buchanan’s Bothy in Glencarse, Perth and Kinross, sleeps four in two bedrooms.

Buchanan’s Bothy is a welcoming, pet-friendly cottage resting in Glencarse, Perth and Kinross -perfectly placed only a mile away from the A90-, boasting off-road parking, an enclosed garden, and far-reaching views across the River Tay. Set up in a reverse-level layout to make the most of its bright, south-facing outlook, this detached retreat is well-suited to families or friends looking to spend time together in a scenic riverside setting.

Arriving at the property, you are greeted by a grassy garden and patio space, ideal for sitting out and taking in the open views across the water. Step inside to discover two bedrooms on the ground floor, including a super-king-size with its own en-suite shower room and a twin, each arranged to offer a simple place to settle in after a day out.

A family shower room completes the ground floor. Head upstairs and the heart of the property unfolds in the open-plan living space, where wooden beams stretch across the ceiling, and natural light fills the room. The sitting area is centred around a feature stone fireplace with a woodburning stove, creating a warm focal point for evenings in, while the dining area sits just beside the well-equipped kitchen, making it easy to move from cooking to sharing meals.

From this elevated position, uninterrupted views across the River Tay form a memorable backdrop throughout your stay. A shop and pub lie within easy reach, adding convenience to your time here, while the surrounding area offers a variety of days out. Visit Perth to explore the collections at Perth Museum, wander through the grounds of Scone Palace, or enjoy open green spaces at North Inch Park.

Head to Dundee for the striking V&A Dundee, the historic RSS Discovery, and the engaging Dundee Science Centre. For a coastal change of pace, St Andrews offers its renowned golf courses, the ruins of St Andrews Cathedral, and the scenic West Sands Beach. With so much to explore, Buchanan’s Bothy provides a well-placed base for discovering this part of Scotland.
