We're not part of a hotel or business. The Den is at the side of the house. A contemporary colourful studio space with double bed, compact shower room & hints of home comforts - selection of teas, coffees & biscuits, mini fridge & microwave. It's an ideal space to stay as part of a tour, local visit, work trip or a base for starting or recovering from your outdoor activities. Cooking & Eating - there's only a kettle, mini microwave and mini fridge in The Den, as it's designed for short sleepover stays & eating out, rather than a place to 'live'. Guests should not bring or use any of their own cooking equipment, as this breaches our health & safety and insurance terms. There's lots of places to eat out (see my Guidebook for some ideas), including the local shop with great breakfasts - open 7 days. Cloakroom - storage space & a sideboard with supplies of breakfast & flavoured teas, coffee, sugar, UHT milk and biscuits together with kettle & mugs, mini microwave & mini fridge. In the sideboard there’s wine glasses, tumblers, bottle opener, corkscrew, plates , cutlery, together with board games, fan, iron & hairdryer. In this area there’s also a full length mirror, fire extinguisher, first aid kit, ironing board & torch. Mini-fridge - you can switch on/off as required & use to keep small items chilled e.g. pint milk, cans, cooked meats, dips etc. Although it won't hold a bottle of wine you could pour out two glasses (which fit) and enjoy later in the evening after dinner or a walk. Ensuite - compact shower room with wc, washbasin and cosy 700 x 700mm quadrant shower enclosure. Complimented by supplies of shower gel, shampoo, conditioner and soaps (for use during your stay), heated towel rail and luxurious towels. Views - there's a single slot high level window in The Den which lets in natural light/ventilation. There's an outdoor bench to enjoy the better weather with limited views of the garden. The best views are available all around in the great outdoors.

In recent years I’ve returned to my family roots in Highland Perthshire, calling a sleepy loch side village home. A truly special place with amazing scenery & wildlife on my doorstep. I'm a Yoga Teacher practicing at two local venues & I also enjoy other peaceful pursuits including gardening & interiors. My spaces are The Bothy, established 2019, and The Den, established 2022. The choice is always yours, the welcome is always heartfelt.

Set within Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park - St Fillans - the sleepy village on the loch that has hills, mountains, rivers, wildlife, walking/cycling paths/routes, water sports, golf and fishing - all on it's doorstep. There are 2 small hotels with restaurants, a village store/coffee shop & visiting mobile post office, banks & library. The village of Lochearnhead is a 10 minute drive west, at the opposite end of the loch and also has 2 small hotels with restaurants - one serving bar meals. The village of Comrie is a 10 minute bus/drive east and has amenities that include - 24 hour ATM, hotel with restaurant & bars, coffee shops, post office and independent shops that include bakers, chemist, butchers, mini-markets, gift/craft shop, fruit shop & deli. There's a Fish & Chip shop & an excellent restaurant. Crieff - the 'capital' town of Strathearn, is a 20 minute bus/drive east and has much broader amenities than Comrie including a Co-op food store (open 7 days 6am till 11pm) & Aldi (open 7 days 8am till 10pm) banks, petrol station, pubs, restaurants & coffee shops.
