Charming Cottage In Historic Arts And Crafts Village


In a village renowned for its outstanding beauty, architecture and tranquility, The Byre is a three bedroom luxury self-catering cottage in a delightful courtyard setting. Situated near to the famous 5000 year-old Yew Tree, it is just two hours from both Edinburgh and Glasgow. The area is rich in beauty and wildlife, set in the heart of Perthshire with its hills, lochs, rivers and woodland. The small town of Aberfeldy is eight miles away and the picturesque village of Kenmore at the head of the River Tay is just six miles. Glen Lyon, Scotland's longest and loveliest glen stretches West for over 35 miles and the silvery ribbon of the River Lyon echoes the contours of the village as it wends its way Eastwards to join the Tay. The Byre offers spacious and comfortable accommodation for up to six guests in three bedrooms with two bathrooms and small private garden with BBQ and seating looking out onto woodland. Wheelchair accessible. No Smoking.

In line with Scottish legislation, Perth & Kinross Council have granted a full licence for Short-term lets (licence number PK11467F, valid until 15 May 2027).

Pleasant but not for cold weather!
Three of us adults were comfortable, but cold. The heating cost of fuel and wood for stove was high and made our comfort stressful. Otherwise, moral was easily accessible, accommodating and pleasant. Thank you, Frederica

Enjoyable stay
Well since you’re asking! Everything was good, apart from just three things. The freezer didn’t work, the door didn’t close properly. The oven and stove top were questionable; the cool down cycle on the oven was long and loud. The master bed mattress was a bit skinny and quite uncomfortable. Everything else was great.

All good. Slightly disappointed in the initial impression .. lots of bins outside, dead baskets & weeds in entrance path and in garden at front plus the same in the rear garden, patio full of weeds & garden furniture in need of some love. Spacious property, clean, a little dark with brown being the dominant colour. Welcome milk, tea, coffee, sugar, no welcome pack. Oven needs cleaning. Comfy beds. Bedroom overly garden on the chilly side. Loved the location, Fortingall very beautiful.

A wonderful cottage in a beautiful setting!
We enjoyed every aspect of or stay. The cottage was immaculate and had everything required for an enjoyable stay. The owner and caretaker were only a phone call away and only too happy to help when we had a request for an extra evening stay. Nothing was to much trouble. We would definitely recommend the cottage for exploring the wonderful countryside in the area.

Lovely cottage, all we needed except TV was very old and we could not access subtitles for my partner who has severe hearing loss. Fortingall Hotel just next door, food excellent.

Beautiful property in the heart of Scotland
My husband, sister, niece and I stayed a week in The Byre this May. The property is second to none. It is so well appointed, roomy, bright, tastefully decorated and spotless. It has it's own private garden for sitting out or eating a large kitchen and dining area, a very generous living room and comfortable spacious bedrooms and bathrooms. On top of all that it is located in a truly fascinating little village with a lovely little pub and a hotel just a few meters away (It was off season, so we didn't get a chance to make use of the hotel restaurant, but it looked very inviting) instead when not cooking at the property, we ate in both Kenmore and Aberfeldy which are not far from Fortingall. The village is central to so much of Scotland, Glencoe, Pitlochry, The Trossachs, Glasgow and the coast. It is a perfect place for a restful holiday with plenty of room for a family of 4 to 6. I can't recommend it highly enough. Wish I was back there.

Great home base for our adventures.
We loved staying at The Byre, the location was perfect as a base for our hill walking and Munro bagging, while still being an easy drive away from Glasgow and Edinburgh for city adventures. Coming home to the cozy wood stove after a long day hiking was just perfect, and the well equipped kitchen had all we wanted for cooking meals. Having two bathrooms and such an open living space was just what we needed when family joined us part of the stay.

We had a great long weekend. The cottage has everything you would need. Set in stunning views and the location is perfect for sight seeing. There is a Hotel next door but unfortunately it does not do meals just now. Aberfeldy has some good places for food. Especially the Fountain Bar. All we needed for a lovely family trip.

In the heart of a beautiful area
Fortingall is an Arts and Crafts gem of a village, with great history, and its famous yew. The roads are quiet enough for walking or jogging, but you need transport to get along the exquisite Glen Lyon road, or to Aberfeldy, and further afield. The accommodation was comfortable enough, though could do with having the lock on the front bedroom window replaced/ fixed, the outdoor light wasn't working, and a few blankets would have been welcome.
