About Us
We originally moved to Historical Huntingtower in 1994, along with our daughters Eva and Lisa, our home came with several acres of private land and a large pond offering a haven to all sorts of wildlife. We quickly collected many animals of our own, not always by choice! We have many wild ducks on the pond and at various times other visiting feathered friends, including, occasionally swans and regularly heron and kingfisher. The local deer also make use of the pond.

Stable Cottage came with our home and as we enjoyed the area so much ourselves we decided to market it for holidays. The cottage became very busy and to avoid disappointment to our guests we decided to add a new cottage which we designed ourselves, Orchard Cottage was up and running on 2002 and has sinse been extended to add a large Garden Room, giving lots of extra living space and is well heated for year round use.
Both cottages have private and enclosed back gardens offering security for children and pets alike, affording excellent privacy. We supply outdoor seating and barbeques. Many visitors enjoy the pond and the ducks and on a pleasant day make use of the seat at the pond and simply relax.
Although "The Mallard" has been built close to the pond, there is still access for the other cottages users to the pond.
There is ample rough ground for walking dogs and a walk down the side of the town lade as well as by the Almond River which is close by.

We have now nearly completed our new Cottage by the pond "The Mallard", but have delayed taking any bookings at present. Plans of this are on a separate page, when this is released for holiday bookings we will add further details to the web site. |

Although we are only 2 miles from Perth City we are in a rural location away from hustle and bustle. Many visitors to our cottages like to enjoy quiet days 'at home' as well as others touring, our cottages are well suited to both of these, being fully equipped to offer a home from home with satellite TV, DVD's, CD's and many books to suit all tastes. Reading previous guest's comments in our Visitors Books is quite a pleasant way to spend some time.
NEW FOR 2011 - BOTH COTTAGES NOW HAVE FREE WIFI AND INTERNET ACCESS.
STABLE COTTAGE HAS UNDERGONE A BIT OF REFURBISHMENT, WITH NEW CARPET AND COLOUR SCHEME, PICTURES WILL BE ON THE WEB SITE SOON.
A DOUBLE BED SETTE HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE GARDEN ROOM OF ORCHARD COTTAGE, IDEAL FOR NIGHTLY OR OCCASIONAL USE.
