Equipped with a mudroom and utility room, there's plenty of space to kick off your boots and hang up your coats after a day of exploring.

Simply step outside with your morning coffee or tea to fully soak in more of your tranquil rural setting. There is an abundance to explore right from your doorstep; Rocksite is orbited by an easily-accessed network of waymarked trails that traverse through woodland and heather moorland, which are managed by the Perth and Kinross Countryside Trust. Just a short distance away is Glenshee snowsports, which is spread over three valleys, with pistes to suit all levels, from beginners to experienced skiers and snowboarders,daily passes and lessons are available. Strathardle Valley offers outstanding views and is rich in history; see sites of Bronze Age roundhouses, the Whitefield Castle ruins, and remnants of numerous farming settlements. The Cateran Trail, a fully waymarked 64-mile circular route, runs through the glen following ancient paths and the footsteps of cattle-rustlers. Wild swimmers will also enjoy a refreshing dip in the cool waters of the River Ardle. For adventures further afield, the breath-taking Cairngorms National Park and Glenshee are only a brief car journey away, with plenty of options for hiking, cycling, skiing, wild swimming, and wildlife within both locations. Due to Rocksite’s convenient location; a short walk down the hill will bring you to both the Kaoglen Lodge & Bar and Kirkmichael village, which houses a pub along with a community shop and café where you can stock up on fresh supplies and essentials.

Lovely cottage with helpful, friendly owners.

Well maintained and clean cabin, very well equipped. We loved feeding and watching the birds and thought the availability of bird food was a nice touch. The neighbours were very friendly ( but not intrusive) and we enjoyed walking around the site looking for wildlife ( lots of deer, a cuckoo and a few red squirrels). The view from every window was fantastic - maybe need to trim the rhododendron infront of the main bedroom window for even better views.

Wonderful accommodation to stay at, just as it stated.

Remote location in a lovely setting. Cabin was as stated well fitted out. Loved the humorous visitors guide, and plenty of information supplied. Somewhere with fond memories of the local endless wildlife and peacefulness.

Had an amazing family break here in early April.

Six of us across 3 generations. Lovely cabin and the area is so peaceful and there is so much wildlife! We had deer, red squirrels, wood peckers and lots of other birds all feeding at the door, with food supplied by the hosts. Very clean and kept modern in the bathrooms and kitchen areas. Great log fire with plenty of firewood. Nice area for walks or as a base to drive to nice locations like Pitlochry or going deep into the Highlands.
