Information about the host

Rosebank House was built by a shoemaker around 1830 and became the manse for the local Methodist church. It was a bed and breakfast for over forty years and retains many of the house's original features. It is now offered as a very spacious whole house let.

We are a couple, from Edinburgh and Ireland, one a former journalist and the other a theatre nurse. We moved to Blairgowrie in May 2014 to take over Rosebank House, a six bedroom guest house. In 2020, following COVID, we decided guests would prefer the cater for themselves than interact with others in a bed and breakfast set up. So Rosebank became a whole house self catering opportunity, sleeping up to 13 in 6 en-suite bedrooms. We have another property nearby - The Coach House at Riverlea is a smaller affair with two bedrooms sleeping 4. We live nearby and can help with any questions or problems.

Blairgowrie has one of the best restaurants in Perthshire - Little's which specialises in fish. The restaurant has been created in the former Methodist Church, for which one of our properties, Rosebank House, was the manse. In the centre of town, The Cateran Cafe is well worth visiting for lunch. Salmon and trout fishing are available on many rivers and lochs in the area. Best advice is from Kate Fleming, whose tackle shop is on Allan Street, five minutes walk away. For golfers, Blairgowrie has its own pair of top class courses, but there are a wealth of options within and easy drive and St Andrews, (75 mins drive) and Gleneagles, (45 mins drive) also easily accessible. For hillwalkers, Braemar and the Cairngorms are about an hour away, with Glenshee and its 24 ski lifts about 45 minutes north. Wildlife tours can be arranged with evening trips to see our local wild beavers also available. Mountain biking and canoeing are available as well. It is advisable to have a car - there are buses to Dundee and Perth but they are not that frequent. However, if you are travelling to Edinburgh our advice is to park in Perth and take the train which goes into the heart of Edinburgh
