Guardswell Farm: Rustic Cottages for Let in the Scottish Countryside

January 21, 2019

Situated on 150 acres of grassland “between Abernyte and Kinnaird, Perthshire” is Guardswell Farm, a series of rustic and charming cottages run by two families and available for stays. “We feel a bit mean keeping it all to ourselves,” the proprietors say; so, they’ve opened lodgings for the traveler “who fancies themselves running a micro-farm, switching off from their digital dependence, and taking a deep breath of Perthshire air.” The cottages are outfitted with all of the trappings for a stay in the Scottish countryside: wood stoves, hot-water bottles, and plenty of sheepskins. Take a look.
