Mrs Lomax

“Everyone in our multigenerational family loved the house and grounds and our holiday was all we could have wished for in spite of some inclement weather.”

We were a party of 20 with 11 children of varying ages who all enjoyed the facilities on offer. Whether a BBQ in the garden, a firepit in the trees or stargazing all loved them. Playing tennis, badminton and football on the green when the weather allowed and games inside when it didn't. Lots of interesting places to visit too. We would highly recommend it for an extended family holiday

“The location of the house and the gardens were perfect.”

The grounds were well kept and beautiful. The on site house keeper was very helpful. We especially enjoyed the badminton net and actually replaced it. The kids really loved the flying fox. We appreciated the equipment left to play with. The house size and the games room were excellent. We were disappointed with the cleanliness of the property - the kitchens work surfaces were not cleaned properly. There were a lot of cobwebs in property, and the fly wrappers were disgusting. Some of the furnishings were worn and could have easily been patched up: rooms in this house looked tired. None of these things spoiled our holiday; however this is not what you would expect from a luxury property. The cottage we also booked smelt damp which was not acceptable. The other disappointing experience was the information changing about whether we could have 2 dogs. Originally we were told we would could take 2 dogs in the one cottage and at the last minute we were told we would have to pay for the second cottage for the second dog. This led to a lot of confusion. At the very last minute we were then told we could have both dogs in the one cottage. It was a shame this was not communicated properly.

“A great house for bringing family together.”

It's relaxed, big but cosy and feels like a second home.

“The description of the house totally underplayed how fantastic it is for a big family gathering.”

With 3 large living areas / lounges there was heaps of opportunities to spread out. We had a noisy playroom and a quiet lounge! We had a ceilidh with highland dancing, a pool competition, volleyball champs, flying fox on repeat, sardines, board games champs and long long meals. Generously equipped we only had occasional moments of ‘oh no, there isn’t a ..,’ usually solved by looking in a different cupboard. We took one of the cottages and have family living nearby who popped in for dinners and could comfortably feed over 30.

“This house is superb.”

There are two kitchens, both of which are well supplied with all you need. Variety of lovely sitting rooms to use. The grounds are extensive and you can walk to (and through) a disused railway tunnel nearby. I loved the huge lawn, so lovely for all the kids to play on, plus we did some 'Highland Games' and a Strip the Willow on there! Weather good all week so we sat outside a lot and used the bbq too.

“This is the most wonderful house for large family gatherings!”

10 adults and 8 children spent a week here and we had a fantastic time. Lots of reception rooms and the children loved the games room, but especially the gardens, where we played rounders, football etc.... It was also ideally placed for visiting Edinburgh castle, Scone palace and many other interesting sights and walks. Could not fault it at all. All very sad to leave. Lucky with the great weather too!

“The ideal house for our large group which included teenagers and under-10s.”

The photos really don’t do it justice. Very comfortable and plenty room to spread out. Great garden space and plenty in the area to visit. Hope to return.

The property

Glenfarg House is situated in the lush, green and rolling farmland of south east Perthshire, close to border with the Kingdom of Fife. This makes it the perfect choice for a large party of friends and families who need to meet the diverse interests of such a group. The house sleeps 19 and is open to responsible hens and stags! Easy to reach from either Glasgow or Edinburgh and yet rural location. V&A Dundee only 30 minute drive. Why not combine a visit to The Discovery Centre next to the V&A where you can climb aboard The Discovery and follow in the footsteps of Scott and his crew, see how they lived, what they ate and witness their hardships and their triumphs. It’s a fascinating tale of one of the most heroic voyages of exploration ever undertaken and a great day out for all the family. For the fishing fan there are numerous opportunities for river and loch fishing, the golfer can find plenty of local courses in and around the area but for the serious golfer who wishes to attend the major courses both Gleneagles (30-minutes) and St Andrews (40 minutes) are an easy drive. Families with children will find many visitor attractions to entertain children including the Discovery ship in Dundee - well worth a visit. Historic houses, castles and gardens are plentiful and open to the public. There are huge sandy beaches on the Fife coast to enjoy those long summer days. St Andrews is an historic and attractive town with many exclusive shops, cafes and restaurants. Perth is only a few miles away and offers major city shopping and a wealth of good restaurants. Heading west takes you deep into the Perthshire countryside. Edinburgh is under an hour drive as is Stirling Castle. Being under an hour drive from Edinburgh airport makes this a good destination for those with friends and family getting together from all parts of the globe. Once at the house you will find comfort and old world charm with spacious rooms throughout. The main house sleep 19 and there are two cottages in the grounds which accommodate 6 and 4 respectively. The gardens are large and well maintained and unusually for such a large estate house are secured fenced and gated all round. EPC Rating: Band F

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £500.

About the location

GLENFARG

Kinross 7 miles.

Glenfarg village sits at the southern end of a picturesque and narrow glen. Its sheltered position ensures that Glenfarg benefits from a mild climate all year round. A short drive will take you to Kinross and Loch Leven. Bounded by hills, Kinross enjoys a stunning setting at Perthshire's southern border as it nestles on the shores of Loch Leven, which lies beneath the shadow of the Lomond Hills, and is the largest loch in lowland Scotland and one of the most important sites for waterfowl in Britain. A National Nature Reserve since 1964, its position, size, shallowness, richness and variety of habitats provide a unique environment that attracts not only the largest concentration of breeding ducks found anywhere in the UK, but many thousands of migratory ducks, geese and swans every autumn and winter. Loch Leven is also famous for its fishing of brown trout. Not to be missed is a visit to the ruined fourteenth-century Loch Leven Castle, open between April and September, where Mary, Queen of Scots was imprisoned in 1567. Her dramatic escape by boat is one of Scotland's most romantic tales.

Note: Bring own linen for travel cot. Note: Though electricity is included in the rent, electric for charging cars is not included in the rental.
