Country house in the heart of Perthshire, gateway to the highlands, with a large enclosed garden and free on street parking. Stanley is a friendly village just 7 miles north of Perth. Only an hour from Glasgow and Edinburgh, the perfect country retreat. The River Tay is a five minute walk from the house, so ideal for anglers. There are two village pubs and two great restaurants within walking distance. The perfect place to unwind after a busy day exploring beautiful Highland Perthshire. The house has a cosy sitting room on the first floor which has beautiful views across the countryside. There is a sofa and easy chairs, a wood stove effect electric heater, TV with Netflix and a stereo. The kitchen and dining room are well equipped with everything you should need for a comfortable stay. There are three bedrooms, one is a double with king-size bed, which has an en suite shower room, one is a double and one is a twin. There is a main bathroom with a bath with shower over, basin and WC. Heating is electric included in the rent. The house is very quirky and full of character. It used to be a sweetie shop, hence the name. We have a photo on display in the house taken around 100 years ago showing it when it was a sweetie shop. There is a large south facing, fully enclosed garden at the back of the house which is an oasis for wildlife. The pond has Goldfish alongside a resident toad!! You can relax and enjoy the birds visiting the feeders. We have so many lovely varieties that visit. From the resident House-Sparrows, to Goldfinches, Nuthatches, Blue-tits, Coal-tits, Song-thrushes and if you are lucky you can sometimes see the Osprey fishing over the River Tay at the back of the house.
We have just returned from a 6 night stay in this wonderful quaint and cozy house. The house is spacious and well equipped, and spotlessly clean. We loved the garden - perfect for an Easter egg hunt on Easter morning! My daughter was fascinated with the frogspawn in the pond. Stanley village itself is quiet, but ideally located for many places we wanted to visit - Scone, Anstruther, Dundee, Perth. We visited the Active Kids Farm one day which is a short walk away. This is a fantastic place to take the kids. I also went for a run most days around the quiet country lanes. I think we will definitely return to stay here again as we make regular trips up to the area.
The Auld Sweetie Shop was just as described and the photos, 2 pubs well within walking distance, both providing food, we ate at the Strathord and it was excellent. My granddaughter left a bracelet but once we contacted Julie she sent a photo of it safe and sound and arranged for it to be collected. Gardens were beautiful, would like to visit in summer when they are in their glory. Thanks Julie
The Auld Sweetie Shop is a great place to stay, so good I booked it again straight after my first visit!! It’s in a great location, with local amenities and a fabulous garden for our furry family member. Julie is a wonderful host, who had thought of everything we needed, and offered support throughout our stay. I felt truly at home!
Just 7 miles north of Perth, Stanley is a very picturesque village. The River Tay and Stanley Mills are a five minute walk from the house. It has a great selection of shops including two handy village shops, a chemist and an award winning butcher. There are two village pubs and two great restaurants within walking distance. There is also an award winning local chippy for a delicious fish supper.
Stanley has a good bus service into Perth and also north to Blairgowrie. A Tayside mega-rider costs just over £4 and you can travel all over Tayside for the whole day.
You can usually always get parked right outside the house. If it is busy you may be just along the street. We politely request that you don't park in front of the garage as this belongs to our neighbour.
