Ayton House is a most delightful large holiday house set in a tranquil and beautiful location in rural Perthshire. Lying on the site of a Roman watch tower, the property has been built and added to over the 17th, 18th and 19th Centuries until it eventually took its present magnificent form.
The impressive self catering holiday accommodation offered is welcoming and spacious and is sure to play host to a memorable break, whether enjoyed as a family celebration, with friends or used for a corporate function. The quality of the accommodation and number of bedrooms makes Ayton House the perfect holiday rental property in which to do so. The rooms are well proportioned and have been tastefully and stylishly decorated and furnished to provide comfortable and well equipped accommodation. Less formal meals can be taken on the ground floor in the very large kitchen area featuring a large leather top table, whilst upstairs a grand formal dining room takes full advantage of the spectacular views on offer, as does the drawing room with its large bay windows. With the delightful oak-shuttered windows allowing the outside to be shut out and open fires, a warm and cosy atmosphere is created in the evenings within a rich and magnificent setting.
With 600 acres of grounds to explore as well as pretty woodland, it is easy to forget that this large holiday house is only a short drive away from Perth and a comfortable drive from the capital, Edinburgh, both of which offer excellent shopping facilities. Ayton House provides excellent self catering holiday accommodation but should you wish to dine out, there are a varied selection of restaurants to choose from in Perth. There are excellent golfing facilities within comfortable driving distance, notably at Gleneagles and St Andrews.
