About this property

Scottish Estate dating back to 1746, charming 6 person cottage with hot tub

Built in 1746, Powis House Estate offers enchanting self-catered accommodation nestled beneath the Ochil Mountains. Set amidst 9 acres of tranquil gardens and just minutes from Stirling Castle and the historic Battle of Bannockburn site, it’s the perfect base to relax, explore Scotland’s rich heritage, and venture into the Highlands. Conveniently located 30 mins from Glasgow and 40 mins from Edinburgh, Powis House is an ideal retreat for discovering the best of Scotland with friends or family

Powis East is the oldest part of the property, originally built in the 1600s, with low ceilings and stone floor you feel like you're stepping back in time. Powis East has two large King Double rooms, one of which is en suite. A second bathroom upstairs is shared with the two singles room. Downstairs is a large living room with wood burner, leading on to a breakfast room and outside balcony and deck with electric hot tub. The shower room, library cubby and large kitchen with seating and Aga make up the rest of the house with access to a private garden front and rear garden.

A car is necessary to enjoy the beautiful countryside and local history. Powis House is a family home and you are likely to encounter our dogs Bruce and Betty. Betty is loud but friendly.

Wonderful Place to Relax or Use as Base Camp

This is the most interesting location we have stayed due to the age of the home and amount of property. It was like stepping back in time with modern amenities. We used this as our home base to visit Stirling, Edinburgh, and Glasgow. It worked out well. If looking to get away from the business and noise of the city, it would be a good spot to relax and enjoy the property.

Charming, clean, unique

The modern kitchen, beautiful grounds and historic stairways and rooms were so clean and comfortable for us. I was impressed because it’s not easy to keep such an old property in such a clean condition! I even had a bath one night. We loved exploring the woods and small stream around the house as well as getting out to other spots around Scotland. The house was out of the way but easily accessible even for those used to driving on the other side of the road! Loved our time here. Only downside was the weak internet and cell reception. Also stairways were difficult for elderly member of our group but that was the case everywhere we went and probably to be expected.
