Crieff
Welcome
to Raith Farmhouse, a spacious 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom self-catering holiday
home from home.
We are located near Gleneagles in spectacular Perthshire countryside within easy reach of magnificent mountains to the north and Glasgow and Edinburgh to the south.
The four bedroom house is well equipped with all the comforts of home,
offers first class accommodation and comfortably sleeps eight people.
Raith sits at the very heart of Strathearn, mid-way between Auchterarder
and Crieff, which is regarded as the area of Perthshire linking the central
lowlands with the Highlands.
The area now has Royal connections after the Queen announced that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will be known as the Earl and Countess of Strathearn when in Scotland.
Prince William and Kate Middleton met at nearby St Andrews University.
With views over the Earn Valley to the Ochil Hills and our peaceful rural
location, Raith Farm provides an ideal base for exploring Scotland from
the big cities to the Highlands.
If walking, golf, white-water rafting or fishing is not your thing, simply
relax in the glorious countryside or indulge yourself in some of the best
shopping in Europe.
As well as an ideal family holiday destination with a safe environment
for children and an enclosed garden where dogs are welcome, the Farmhouse
is a beautiful choice for a romantic break or a quiet honeymoon getaway.

Walking:
The sheer variety of walking on offer in the local area is staggering,

of the Lawers group and beyond. There are also a number of pleasant and
less taxing low level walks through beautiful scenery in the local area.

the River Tay and the River Earn nearby; Raith provides an ideal base
for a fishing break. The salmon season runs from 15 January to 15 October
and trout from 15 March to 6 October.
Geocaching:
"Geocaching is a pastime where participants using a GPS unit seek
caches hidden by other players.
That’s one definition.
We prefer to think if it as the very best way to explore a new area while
on holiday. Caches are often hidden in areas of historic interest or scenic
beauty so there is no better way to discover the best an area has to offer
than to download the local caches into your handheld GPS and head out
for the day.
There are over a million caches hidden worldwide and more being added
every day so there are bound to be some near you wherever you are.
There are currently 265 caches within 10 miles of Raith Farm.
