Rooms are tastefully decorated and attractively furnished, the spacious, bright living room has an open fire to add to the ambience and the dining room has garden doors for drinks on the patio or al-fresco dining.

Rather more quirky is this one bedroom period cottage for two in the conveniently located Dunblane.
