Our most spacious room is bathed in light from two windows offering a bright, airy feel throughout the day. The room is elegantly furnished with a comfortable queen-sized bed, a richly patterned rug, and characterful artwork that gives the space real personality.
Your own private bathroom is just a couple of steps across the landing, for your exclusive use only.
The space
Kirkmichael House stands in the village of Kirkmichael, on the edge of the Cairngorms National Park, on the A924, between Blairgowrie and Pitlochry, each about 25 minutes' drive away.
The house is a former manse with a history stretching back over 600 years. The ground on which it stands holds an even older secret — it was once the site of a druidic temple, and a sacred spring still runs beneath, emerging by the roadside as a reminder of a forgotten age.
This is a lived-in family home, loved, and occasionally shared with Soffia & Geoff's friends and family. But every guest still has their own privacy and space to enjoy.
Kirkmichael House is a place to let the outside world recede at day's end. The house itself is quietly unconventional, an ongoing work of art, lovingly restored and filled with eclectic curiosities.
You won't find a television here — that's by design. The house is meant for conversation, music and the slow pleasures. But no worries, wifi reaches throughout, so you're never truly cut off.
Agricultural land, ancient hills, and open skies surround the village, inviting those who like to roam and wander to explore the paths of this remarkable corner of Scotland.
Walkers come for the quiet. The Cateran Trail passes close by, an old drovers' route that climbs through forest and glen and over hills where the views go on for miles and you might not meet another soul all day.
Those who'd rather take the open road will find it just as rewarding — the picturesque winding routes through the Cairngorms please motorcyclists, cyclists and drivers alike.
If you're the kind of traveller who's curious about the unique rather than the expected, we think you'll feel right at home here.
Guest access
The ground floor living room is open to guests and rewards a slow afternoon. An eclectic space filled with artwork, curiosities and character. Settle into a sofa, browse the board games and books, put on a record, or pick out a tune on the piano. On colder nights the fire is lit, and the room becomes the natural place to gather.
Each morning, breakfast is taken in the shared dining room, a space made for conversation and easy company. During other hours of the day you're welcome to help yourself to tea or coffee whenever you like.
Brought a snack or a drink along? Enjoy it here too — Kirkmichael House is a bed & breakfast rather than a self-catering property, so there's no fridge or kitchen for cooking, but tea and biscuits are always welcome. We just ask that food stays in the dining room rather than going up to the bedrooms, which keeps the rooms fresh for everyone.
When the weather is kind, the front garden is yours — a place to sit in the sun among the plants and trees, with birdsong for company. There are a couple of tables out there, so it's a fine spot for a cuppa or a bite to eat, or for simply doing nothing at all for a while.
Other things to note
What you'll find in the village of Kirkmichael:
Two pubs, just a few steps away, both serving food.
A village grocery shop and café on the main street.
The Kilted Baker – a charming honesty-box bakery next to Strathardle Lodge, tempting you with delicious homemade sweet treats.
The Kirkmichael Path Network — over 10 miles of way-marked paths, from short strolls to longer routes for hikers and mountain bikers.
An electric car charging point at the village public car park, a 4-minute walk from the house.
What you'll find in the area around:
Glenshee Ski Centre — Scotland's largest ski area, about 30 minutes' drive, with skiing and snowboarding in winter and hillwalking access year-round.
The Malt Whisky Trail — several of Speyside's distilleries are within easy reach, for anyone keen to taste their way through the region.
Castles and palaces— Blair Castle, Balmoral Castle and Scone Palace, to name a few, are all within reach for a day of history and grand houses.
Golf — several courses nearby, the closest in Blairgowrie about 25 minutes' drive away.
Your own private bathroom is just a couple of steps across the landing, for your exclusive use only.
