Located in Pitlochry, Perthshire, Scotland, Borenich Farm Cottage is a charming retreat surrounded by fields of grazing sheep and cattle. This two-bedroom, two-bathroom cottage features a cozy snug with a wood burner, a porch, a kitchen, and a large dining/sitting room with panoramic views of Loch Tummel and the surrounding hills. Originally built in the 1800s and extended in the 1990s, this cottage offers a peaceful escape to the countryside for up to four adults.
Guests can enjoy the deck and fire pit outside, offering stunning views and a cozy spot to stargaze at night. The property also provides access to a private beach and excellent fishing sites. The cottage is situated on a working farm, where guests can observe sheep and cows grazing in the fields. The house is accessed down a concrete ramp between the garden shed and the cottage, offering a breathtaking view of the mountains on the south side of Loch Tummel.
Guests are reminded to respect the environment and wildlife, as Loch Tummel is a National Scenic Area and a Site of Special Scientific Interest. Fishing permits are required for fishing along the shoreline, and guests are encouraged to leave everything as they found it to preserve the natural beauty of the area. The property relies on a septic tank for water disposal, so guests are asked to only flush human waste and toilet paper down the toilet. Cooking with high-fat content should be disposed of in the bin rather than down the sink.
Overall, Borenich Farm Cottage offers a peaceful and scenic retreat for those looking to escape to the countryside. With access to a private beach, fantastic fishing spots, and stunning views of Loch Tummel, guests can enjoy a relaxing stay surrounded by nature in this cozy and well-equipped cottage.
