Charming Cottage In Historic Arts And Crafts Village


In a village renowned for its outstanding beauty, architecture and tranquility, The Byre is a three bedroom luxury self-catering cottage in a delightful courtyard setting. Situated near to the famous 5000 year-old Yew Tree, it is just two hours from both Edinburgh and Glasgow. The area is rich in beauty and wildlife, set in the heart of Perthshire with its hills, lochs, rivers and woodland. The small town of Aberfeldy is eight miles away and the picturesque village of Kenmore at the head of the River Tay is just six miles. Glen Lyon, Scotland's longest and loveliest glen stretches West for over 35 miles and the silvery ribbon of the River Lyon echoes the contours of the village as it wends its way Eastwards to join the Tay. The Byre offers spacious and comfortable accommodation for up to six guests in three bedrooms with two bathrooms and small private garden with BBQ and seating looking out onto woodland. Wheelchair accessible. No Smoking.

In line with Scottish legislation, Perth & Kinross Council have granted a full licence for Short-term lets (licence number PK11467F, valid until 15 May 2027).
The cottage is heated and features a kitchen and 2 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, an electric kettle, and an ironing board.

Location, location. This charming cottage is right across the street from lush green pastures and sheep. Just steps away is also a hotel that you can pop over for a drink or dine inside. This was the perfect location for our family to take day trips and return to our quaint cottage to enjoy a meal or warm up by the fire. We had a great stay!

Wow... what a beautiful place, the Byre is well set out, comfortable and has a wonderful atmosphere

We fell in love with this accommodation as soon as we walked through the door.. it's well equipped, very clean and well situated in some of Scotlands most impressive scenery..... we couldn't have asked for more... the log fire in the evenings was the icing on the cake...

Great home base for our adventures.

We loved staying at The Byre, the location was perfect as a base for our hill walking and Munro bagging, while still being an easy drive away from Glasgow and Edinburgh for city adventures. Coming home to the cozy wood stove after a long day hiking was just perfect, and the well equipped kitchen had all we wanted for cooking meals. Having two bathrooms and such an open living space was just what we needed when family joined us part of the stay.

A wonderful cottage in a beautiful setting!

We enjoyed every aspect of or stay. The cottage was immaculate and had everything required for an enjoyable stay. The owner and caretaker were only a phone call away and only too happy to help when we had a request for an extra evening stay. Nothing was to much trouble. We would definitely recommend the cottage for exploring the wonderful countryside in the area.

Great beyond all expectation!

Terrific accommodations in a beautiful area of the world. The Byrne was a real joy, perfect in all respects, and we were well cared for by the owner’s representative, Morag. She came to our rescue one night when we had misplaced the house key, and she came without complaint. Words are insufficient to describe our few days in this extraordinary place.

Lovely clean cottage.

Lovely clean cottage, everything you need, only negative is shower in main bathroom not very powerful. Beautiful village so peaceful. Great night in pub playing live music from the locals. Very friendly, although food was expensive and the wine !! We had fantastic weather for beginning of April, Glen Lyon is beautiful and the cafe and art gallery are great. Beautiful part of the country can’t wait to go back in August.
