The details

The Old Workshop is part of the larger Victorian villa, Eastwood House, sitting in a stunning location on the banks of the River Tay. This studio offers a perfect private retreat for couples seeking a cosy getaway in peaceful surroundings. Refurbished to a high standard this converted studio has been thoughtfully designed to provide everything you need in one space and is a lovely place to relax and unwind.

Sitting in a beautiful elevated location alongside the stream that runs through the garden grounds, The Old Workshop benefits from big windows and a large opening screen that floods the space with morning light. The private and sheltered south-facing patio provides the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee, courtesy of the Nespresso machine, whilst enjoying the view across the rose garden and the river beyond.

The décor accentuates the calm of the place with some beautiful old pieces, like the bijou dining table for two, alongside modern seating and a lovely wood burner for cosy evenings and bottles of fine wine. The oak flooring and timber panelling bring the natural surroundings inside and provides the space with plenty of rural charm.

The space has a lovely flow and it's easy to imagine preparing a meal in the kitchen and enjoying it by candlelight before unwinding in the living area. The super king sized bed promises a deep night's slumber and the shower room is fitted with an electric power shower to blast the sleep away before exploring the local area.

Situated about half a mile from Dunkeld in Perthshire, the area is one of outstanding beauty and one of the best preserved historic towns in Scotland. There's plenty to do and see with a lively arts and music scene, quality independent shops and a plethora of wonderful pubs, cafes and restaurants. Try The Taybank pub, long known for its great music and fantastic setting, to be enjoyed with a Scottish gin or riverside beer. Spill The Beans or Palmerston's are great for cafe lunches and if you want something a bit different head the The Birnam Reader, an independent bookshop serving coffee and delicious homemade cakes. There's also a fantastic choice of outdoor pursuits including hiking, cycling, fishing and golf. However you choose to spend your time, The Old Workshop will give you a wonderful base from which to plan and explore whilst providing all the comfort and peace you could hope for.

We had a fabulous stay at The Old Workshop, it was perfect!! Everything we needed and the bed was sooo comfortable and cosy! Great walks from the house, we didn't use the car for the first week. Would definitely book again!

The old worksop is bright and spacious with lovely quality but homely contemporary furnishings and a most beautiful wooden studio floor. Access down and then up some narrow woodland steps is not for the faint hearted but the delight of looking out through the woods to the river is worth it! The location of the old Worksop was ideal for us. It’s close to the road and walking distance to the lovely village of Dunkeld where there are good restaurants shops and pubs. Yet it’s private location at the end of a short gravel drive makes it feel much more remote than it is. Highly recommended!
