This is a beautifully converted coach house set back from the road but right in the centre of Blairgowrie, which itself is in the centre of Perthshire. The house sleeps four with one king size bedroom and one twin room with two single beds. There is a shower room on the first floor and a separate toilet downstairs. Top class golf and salmon fishing are nearby, with wildlife tours, mountain biking and canoeing and many historic buildings also available. One of the best restaurants on Perthshire is just over the garden wall.
We are a couple, from Edinburgh and Ireland, one a former journalist and the other a theatre nurse. We moved to Blairgowrie in May 2014 to run a six-bedroom guest house. But we have moved on to self-catering. The Coach House at Riverlea has two bedrooms sleeping 4. We live nearby and can help with any questions or problems.
Blairgowrie has one of the best restaurants in Perthshire - Little's which specialises in fish. The restaurant has been created in the former Methodist Church, for which one of our properties, Rosebank House, was the manse. In the centre of town, The Cateran Cafe is well worth visiting for lunch. Salmon and trout fishing are available on many rivers and lochs in the area. Best advice is from Kate Fleming, whose tackle shop is on Allan Street, five minutes walk away. For golfers, Blairgowrie has its own pair of top class courses, but there are a wealth of options within and easy drive and St Andrews, (75 mins drive) and Gleneagles, (45 mins drive) also easily accessible. For hillwalkers, Braemar and the Cairngorms are about an hour away, with Glenshee and its 24 ski lifts about 45 minutes north. Wildlife tours can be arranged with evening trips to see our local wild beavers also available. Mountain biking and canoeing are available as well. It is advisable to have a car - there are buses to Dundee and Perth but they are not that frequent. However, if you are travelling to Edinburgh our advice is to park in Perth and take the train which goes into the heart of Edinburgh
