Essendy House
No. 124 (9918)
Just beyond Perth, at the southern tip of a string of lochs, sits Essendy House, a luxury bed and breakfast (B&B) accommodation bolthole for weary travellers and a haven for wildlife lovers. Home to Tess and John Monteith, Essendy House offers quiet comfort, seclusion and relaxation in abundance and yet close by in the Blairgowrie area there is much to see and do. Dating back to 1715 with more modern additions, this white-washed country house is surrounded by rich gardens, farmland and the Pertshire countryside beyond.
The B&B accommodation includes a guest sitting room which offers a relaxing haven at the end of the day whilst the conservatory leading on to the terrace is a welcoming retreat on warm days. The luxury bedrooms and bathrooms are supremely comfortable and attractive with antique furniture, wonderful linen and toiletries. The views from the windows are sure to lure you outside where mature trees, azaleas and rhododendrons are in abundance and all around are dramatic hill views that only Scotland can offer.
Highland hospitality dictates a generous and hearty breakfast which Wolsey Lodge guests will truly appreciate. Served in the elegant dining room or on the terrace to set you up for a days exploring the many castles and lochs, including perhaps the renowned Loch of the Lowes, famous for its Osprey population.
