The village of Scone sits two miles north of Perth, and is correctly called New Scone to differentiate it from Old Scone, which had been a medieval village based around the monastery of Scone Abbey and abandoned in the 19th century. Scone Palace dates from the early 1800s in the Georgian Gothic style and is a popular visitor attraction with rooms and grounds open to the public. There is a selection of local shops and amenities in Scone, as well as Perth Racecourse, the two 18-hole Murrayshall golf courses, and a wider range of shops available in nearby Perth. A wonderful base for exploring the south east of Scotland.

Richard
Enjoyed our stay very much. The flat had everything, was cosy and comfortable and made a good base for exploring nearby and further afield. Stephen was a welcoming host and on hand if required. It was very interesting to hear about the vision for the grounds and very generous to share them, even with dogs! The dogs having the run of adjoining field was a bonus. So glad we chose it and would definitely recommend.

The owner and his family are absolutly lovely, they have a huge garden, which you can go in at any time, lots of land to explore and the old house is taken care of with love and passion. The location is in the heart of scotland and therefore perfect to explore the country, go for long walks with an amazing view over city and landscape or just hang out in the cozy flat and read a book with a cup of tea. Overall you get so much comfort for such a low prize, we will definitly come back. Thanks a lot for everything :)
