Dunskiag House

Dunskiag is a Grade-B listed traditional Scottish farmhouse that was fully rebuilt and renovated in 2003 to provide a high standard of modern accommodation internally, yet not compromising the original building. The unique scotch-slate roof has been completely restored and windows replaced with high quality solid oak sash-and-case glazing. The building is heated with underfloor heating throughout, powered by one of the first geothermal heating exchange units installed in Scotland, taking heat from 360 feet below the ground to provide a very energy-efficient and environmentally friendly source of energy.

The neighbouring steadings are the home of the farmhouse owners. The next nearest house to Dunskiag is a good half a mile away, so the seclusion of the property is assured, yet it is a simple journey by bike or car of just a few minutes to the local town of Aberfeldy giving the ideal balance of seclusion but with the local town amenity of Aberfeldy.

A sheltered front door leads into a vaulted entrance hall with storage for all your outdoor shoes and clothing. Off this is a convenient shower room with toilet, hand basin and shower. Also leading from the entrance hall is the open plan lounge / dining / kitchen area, staircase to upstairs and a separate second lounge area.

The oak floored kitchen is well appointed with induction hob, Neff double oven, washing machine, dishwasher, microwave and all the other high standard equipment you would expect. A large 8x3' oak dining table with 8 oak dining chairs is in close proximity allowing for ideal holiday family meal times. 2 comfortable leather couches and single leather easy-chair sit around a charming modern wood burning stove. Sitting conveniently, but unobtrusively, in the lounge is a plasma screen TV with Sky satellite package, DVD and music centre.

Outside the property offers the most superb location for a holiday. It is completely enclosed by a stone-dyke wall so is ideal if you want to keep an eye on small children. The main outlook of the property is in the East-West directions along the valley. From its elevated position you can enjoy marvellous views in many directions observing with Glen Lyon and Ben Lawers mountains to the west; Strathtay valley to the east and the River Tay meandering along the valley floor itself. These views can be enjoyed sitting in the garden or if you prefer you can soak in the outdoor hot tub enjoying a cold glass of wine, talking with your friends. A larger adjacent walled grassed area is also available for games such as football or rounders. A basket is available in the farmhouse to collect your fresh eggs from our chickens (if they have felt like laying!).
