1 The Cross is a well-appointed historical apartment that can be found lying at the heart of Dunkeld village. Sitting on the River Tay, this charming holiday home provides the perfect place of which to base your next family holiday to Scotland. Wander through the garden and climb the steep steps up to the front door. Enter into the hallway where you can take off your coats and shoes before placing down your bags and heading into the warmth of the sitting room benefiting from a gas woodburner, whilst you watch the TV to unwind. Take a seat at the dining table and gaze out of the window into the bustling square as you tuck into a prepared meal from the stunning cream county kitchen with beautiful oak worktops and sleek built-in double oven, as well as a well-thought dishwasher so that no one has to worry about doing the dishes. Draw yourself a bath in the stylish and peaceful bathroom or make use of the overhead shower for a refreshing wash following a muddy walk in the countryside. At the end of the evening, retire to your roomy double bedroom boasting ample storage from its fitted wardrobes and pretty dressing table, whilst the second of the bedrooms is a twin and has been decorated with neutral tones and is home to two single beds. Delight in a morning stroll along the peaceful River Tay before crossing the famous Dunkeld Bridge to the Shakespeare relic of Birnam Oak. Do be sure to join in annual local events such as the Dunkeld and Turnham Highland Games on the last weekend in August, and the Rewind Festival in Perth on the last weekend in July. Hop in the car and head for Blairgowrie and Rattray, where avid historians will relish in a day spent exploring the grounds of Newton Castle, Ardblair Stone Circle and The Knockie. Lovers of the great outdoors will enjoy a walk through The Hermitage National Forest and a hike up the neighbouring Pinecone View Point for glorious scenery. Make the most of precious time with family with a stay at 1 The Cross. EPC Rating: Band D

Right in the centre so close to all the lovely pubs, restaurants and cafes. Excellent walks from the doorstep.

The kitchen was fully equipped, the lounge/diner was a decent size and felt very relaxing, and the main bedroom had a large very comfy double bed. The location is great being fairly quiet but very close to pubs, eateries, and the Co-op. There are two choices of semi- covered outdoor bars with seating right next to the picturesque River Tay. No allocated car parking space, but I only once had to park more than 30 yards from the property.

Itâs comfortable, well-supplied with kitchen necessities. The kitchen and bath are newly fitted with very nice fixtures and appliances and enough pans and dishes to prepare a meal for 12! We enjoyed being able to walk easily to local coffee shops, restaurants, stores and the surrounding sites like the Cathedral, the River Tay, the Hermitage. The only slight negative was the constant cigarette smell which probably came from a smoker living below. While nothing can be done about neighbors it was a bit of an irritant. We were able to open windows for fresh air. Also the sitting room and bedroom carpet might need replacing as itâs a bit musty. Otherwise a most enjoyable stay in a great location.
