Your Highland Holiday
Begins Here
We are thrilled that you are considering Riverside House for your staycation. She’s a grand old lady, ( foibles and all ) and we love her dearly. Situated amongst the beautiful Perthshire countryside, walkers, bikers, golfers, kayakers, history buffs and pure loungers, will find something here to make their holiday a memorable one – come rain or shine!
Riverside House
The House dates from 1860 and was used as a home and artists’ studio by notable Scots William Geddes and David Farqharson in the late 19th century : many of their most famous works being completed here. It has always had the reputation for being a sociable and welcoming hub, and we hope that you will enjoy the warmth and eccentricity of our home as much as we do.

What People Say
“We all had a wonderful stay in Riverside House. It is even better than it looks on the photos. Great, very large outdoor space to sit and eat and all secure for the dog. House is really well equipped. Home from home but also with interesting touches to make it feel different too. All 5 beds and bedrooms were really comfortable. Great holiday. Would love to go back one day.”
Mr Brencher, August 2020
“Beautiful house in a fantastic location that is a short, easy walk to Blairgowrie town centre. We fished the Tay for three days which was a handy 10 min drive away. There’s also a great fish restaurant at the bottom of the road to share catching (and not catching!) stories at the end of a day, with no need to drive.”
Mr Jones, September 2019
