14 Bridge Street Dunkeld, Perthshire, Scotland

Situated in the village of Dunkeld, 14 Bridge Street is an apartment set over two floors sleeping up to ten people in 4 star luxury. Dunkeld is a quiet and beautiful village just off the A9 although you would never know it was there if you were driving past on the A9. The village is steeped in history from being proclaimed the first ecclesiastical capital of Scotland to being by the 18th century, a centre of the shoe-trade, exporting footwear as far away as the continent. Now Dunkeld is a centre for tourists with beautiful surroundings, plenty of activities and boasts a handful of unique shops and establishments. Dunkeld is also well known for its bridge built in 1809 by Thomas Telford, the splendid bridge links Birnam to Dunkeld, which still carries traffic across the River Tay today.

Hill walking and trails are all around, cycling, golf, water sports, extreme sports (Nae Limits, white water rafting, canyoning etc.), fishing, quad biking, pony trekking (Blair Atholl), clay pigeon shooting, swimming pools (Blairgowrie and Perth), great food, traditional music, Theatre (Birnam, Pitlochry and Perth), skiing (Glenshee and Aviemore), bird watching (ospreys in Dunkeld), off road driving, castles, cathedrals and houses, gardens, children's activities (skate warehouse in Dundee, skate park in Perth), pottery (Dunkeld). Beaches are a little further away in Montrose, Arbroath, St Andrews. One and a half hours from Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen and Inverness so you can explore most of Scotland from this gorgeous holiday accommodation. Perth, Pitlochry, Dundee, St Andrews, Stirling and Edinburgh are all within easy reach by car - most in under one hour with none much more than that.

Accommodation:
This gorgeous property is set over three floors with access at the ground floor off Brae Street - the large entrance hall with stairs leads to first floor accommodation. Top of stairs is a bathroom with roll top bath; the room is decorated to a very high standard. Next is the living room with two three seater sofas and an Indonesian bench set around a wood and glass Indonesian coffee table. There is a fire place but this is not operational at the moment. Three large windows allow light into the room giving views down to the cross and up the main street. TV, DVD and stereo are all provided. One double bedroom is located on the first floor which boasts a double four poster bed from Indonesia.

Also on the first floor is a fully fitted kitchen, featuring an electric hob and oven, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine and dryer combination - the kitchen is recently installed to a very high standard. From the kitchen there is a staircase leading down to an outside decked area which is available for guests to use. At the top of these stairs is a chest deep freeze to give extra capacity. Next to the kitchen is a dining room capable of seating 10 - the furniture has all been imported from Indonesia, the table and chairs are a fine example of the artistry that exists in Java.

On the second floor are the four further bedrooms, a bathroom and a second TV area with a TV/DVD combo. One bedroom is furnished with a 6ft double bed, again from Indonesia, the other three bedrooms are all twin rooms. The bathroom features a very powerful and relaxing power shower: 'the best shower experience' one guest commented. The overall feeling of the apartment is of style and space, with always something new around the corner, 14 Bridge Street offers its guests a welcome home from those busy activity days in Dunkeld or somewhere to relax. With all the shops on the doorstep, so to speak, little effort need be made to enjoy your stay.

Wireless broadband is also provided in the flat, this comes from the shop below so most areas on the first floor can receive it, a code is provided on your arrival should you wish to use the service free of charge.

On the ground floor is Batavia, Indonesian furniture and crafts - the shop is owned and run by Nick and Airin Gilmour who also run the apartment. Nick and Airin are always on hand to greet, advise, help their guests what ever time of the day.
