The craftsmanship and styling of the stunning Oak Tree Cottage are phenomenal. If you have a keen eye for interior design, you will be delighted as you tour this extraordinary holiday home. Nestled just outside the historic town of Dunkeld in Perthshire, the cottage boasts breathtaking views over the lush, wooded Birnam Hill. Oak Tree Cottage offers a secluded and intimate atmosphere while being just a five-minute drive from the town center. With three spacious bedrooms, the cottage comfortably sleeps seven to eight guests. It also features a beautiful open-plan living area, a snug, a utility room, three bathrooms, and an acre of garden.
The picturesque town of Dunkeld lies on the north bank of the River Tay, opposite Birnam, and approximately 25 km north of Perth. Dunkeld Cathedral is a remarkably well-preserved example of a Scottish burgh from the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. The town is filled with attractive historic buildings, many lovingly restored by the National Trust for Scotland. Atholl Street offers a variety of charming specialty shops, and the riverside walk provides stunning views of Thomas Telford’s Dunkeld Bridge.
Oak Tree Cottage has been recently built using the finest materials, showcasing an incredible blend of modern and traditional design, craftsmanship, warm color palettes, and contemporary finishes. Handcrafted wood and glass doors open to the main living area, a work of art that highlights the cottage’s meticulous attention to detail. The open-plan living space is flooded with natural light through its expansive glass doors. Vibrant golden-yellow Chesterfield sofas and chic accent chairs bring warmth to the rich wood tones, while a handmade French walnut and granite kitchen features high-end appliances to delight any chef. A dining area and a cozy TV corner are situated on either side of the kitchen. The far end of the room boasts three plush sofas perfectly positioned to take in the garden and terrace views.
In addition to the main living area, there’s a snug—a perfect retreat for enjoying a quiet cup of tea, the Sunday papers, or a family board game. For entertainment, a Smart TV with Freeview, Amazon Prime, and Netflix, along with a Sonos sound system, is provided. The ground floor also includes a beautifully designed family bathroom with a freestanding bath, a wet-room shower, and a stylish sink arrangement. One of the cottage’s three bedrooms is located on this floor, featuring a sumptuous king-size bed, traditional wooden furniture, and vibrant red accents in the furnishings. A separate utility room adds to the home’s convenience.
A beautifully crafted wood and iron open-tread staircase leads to the upper level. The master bedroom suite is a luxurious sanctuary with soft green walls, stunning orange accents, and an oversized headboard that creates a bold and stylish look. French doors open onto a private furnished terrace, offering panoramic views—the perfect spot for morning coffee. The pristine ensuite wet-room features sleek gray tiles and a contemporary sink atop a unique wooden shelf. The third bedroom offers flexible sleeping arrangements, with options for three single beds or a super king-size bed plus one single. This charming room also includes an ensuite shower room and stylish furnishings.
The outdoor spaces at Oak Tree Cottage are as thoughtfully designed as the interiors. The living area opens to a polished stone terrace with alfresco dining for ten guests, a barbecue, and a fire pit—perfect for soaking up the picturesque views. A top-notch hot tub for eight guests adds a touch of indulgence, while the expansive garden includes a dedicated play area for little ones and vibrant flower beds.
The surrounding countryside offers a rich mix of activities, including scenic walks, cycling, fishing, and golf at nearby courses. Dunkeld and its surroundings exude elegance and charm, with attractions such as Scone Palace, Gleneagles, and the nearby Birnam Hill oak woods, famously referenced in Shakespeare’s Macbeth. This region is ideal for those seeking a blend of relaxation, history, and adventure.
