'The Coo Shed' at Dalnoid Holiday Cottages (formerly Old Steading Cottage) is over 200 years old and was the original cow shed. Now renovated to a high standard, The Coo Shed offers a stylish, comfortable self catering holiday experience with a traditional twist. There are lots of character features including exposed stone walls, coombed ceilings and slate flagstones, warmed by underfloor heating throughout.
Perched on the hillside in Perthshire, the holiday cottage has spectacular views from all rooms and the garden, across Glenshee to Mount Blair. Large patio doors open up from the spacious living room onto a raised deck area with seating and then down to a large lawned garden with private hot-tub and BBQ (spring - autumn). The garden is fully fenced, so secure for children and pets.
On colder days, light the wood-burning stove, with complimentary logs throughout your stay, and relax in comfortable sofas keeping an eye out for friendly visitors in the garden including red squirrels, pine martens, stoats, roe deer and a multitude of birds.
The holiday cottage, which sleeps four, has a spacious king size bedroom with large en-suite shower-room, as well as a twin bedded room and a main bathroom with bath and shower. We supply all towels and bedding, including 100% cotton sheets and towels in the bedrooms, additional bath sheets for use outside with the hot-tub, and bath robes.
The large open plan kitchen and dining area is very well equipped, including: dishwasher, washing machine, double oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, Denby dinner service and many other items. We have tried to ensure that the kitchen has everything you could need for you to stay in and 'self-cater'
The Coo Shed at Dalnoid, uses geo-thermal heating and ground source heat pumps which provide underfloor heating throughout and hot water during your stay. Heating is supplemented by the log burning stove for which free logs and kindling are provided within the cost of your self-catering holiday.
