The Crannach
Description
The Crannach is a converted shepherds cottage of historical interest which has recently been modernised to a high standard.
The adjoining byre is now a large open kitchen, dining room and sitting room, with a wide double door leading onto a stone terrace.
The property is on the Glenfernate estate, about a mile and a half from the A924 up a private tarmacked road.
It faces South-West with a terrific view, and is on the edge of the Grampian mountains.
The Cairngorms National Park starts a mile further up the glen, and Beinn a’ Ghlo (a ‘Munro’ of over 3000 ft.) can be seen from the Crannach.
All the power to the property comes from a hydro electric scheme nearby.
The Crannach is a charming split-level lodge situated in the serene Glenfernate, Perth and Kinross, near the breathtaking Cairngorms National Park.
This former farmer's cottage offers off-road parking for two cars, an open-plan layout with stunning views and welcomes two well-behaved dogs, making it an ideal retreat for families or groups of friends.

What guests are saying
Just Magical We loved our stay from beginning to end.
The house was perfect in every respect, from the location in the valley to the furnishings. It was better than we ever could have expected. The sheep were being herded outside on quad bikes and there were orchids in the valley. The garden was completely secure for our dogs and we could let them enjoy themselves outside. We had beautiful views and would really like to come back again at a different time of year to experience it from another perspective. The only improvement would be to have a microwave! The broadband was a bit patchy, but the estate manager was extremely helpful with it, even out of hours. We have wonderful memories of our stay, thank you!
What an amazing place!
It is remote but that's one of its many positives. You feel like you're in the middle of nowhere, with just the beautiful Scottish vistas and wildlife for company. The cottage is one of the absolute best we've stayed in. Comfortable, warm, stylish and well-equipped with everything you would need. We spent a wonderful week in The Crannach, and highly recommend it for a holiday away from it all.
Needed a decent bottle opener and one or two chairs that were not as low as the others
