Angela Bell welcomes guests to stay for bed and breakfast at her traditional Victorian farmhouse home on the edge of the small village of Murthly 4 miles south of Dunkeld and about 1/4 hour's drive north of Perth in the valley of the River Tay.
This is a relaxed and comfortable place to stay with a cosy homely atmosphere, and being set in a garden a hundred yards from a little-used estate road, it is quiet and peaceful. There's woodland on one side and fields on the other and distant views to the southern edge of the Grampian Mountains. It's all very rural and quite possibly you might glimpse deer in the shadows among the birch trees at the side of the house as you wake in the morning.
There are wonderful walks and cycling from the doorstep. Hidden away in this landscape you can discover ancient standing stones and stone circles and on the other bank of the river the site of one of the most northerly Roman fortresses. Angela is happy to make you a packed lunch for a picnic by the river.
Bradyston Farmhouse is also very central and convenient for touring Scotland, and is just a few minutes off the A9, the main route between Edinburgh and Inverness. It's great for visiting Edinburgh too: You can save parking problems by taking the train from Dunkeld right to the city centre. And Angela is an expert on Edinburgh, so ask her all about it.
