Fernbank Cottage: A Stylish Highland Escape
Welcome to our newest lodge, Fernbank Cottage. Tucked in the peaceful village of Bridge of Cally, just at the gateway to Glenshee, Fernbank Cottage is a beautifully renovated traditional cottage that perfectly balances rustic charm with modern style. Whether you’re craving a cosy couple’s retreat or a scenic base for outdoor adventures, Fernbank Cottage offers the comfort that makes you feel instantly at home.
The transformation of Fernbank Cottage has been a true passion project for its owners. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered, from restoring original features to adding sleek, contemporary touches. It has underfloor heating and a wood-burning stove for you to keep cosy, and interiors that feel timeless.
The open kitchen and dining area is a great space to cook, eat, and catch up. With its original stone wall, high ceilings, and modern appliances, it’s got just the right mix of character and comfort. The main living room is a quiet, screen-free sanctuary, a place to unwind with a good book or enjoy long conversations. For film nights or a cosy afternoon, the separate snug is perfectly equipped for comfort and entertainment.
The master bedroom includes an elegant en-suite with a rainfall shower, while the second bathroom invites you to relax in a freestanding roll top bath after a day exploring Highland Perthshire. Outside, the private garden is a true extension of the home. Enjoy dinner at the outdoor table or have a morning coffee on the bench.
Soak in the Views
Set in an elevated position above the village, Fernbank Cottage has breathtaking treetop views. On quiet mornings you can sit out with a coffee and if you’re lucky you might spot some wildlife, one of the many joys of staying somewhere so connected to nature.
Explore the Great Outdoors
At the meeting point of three glens, Fernbank Cottage is perfect for those who love the outdoors. The Glenshee Ski Centre is just a 20-minute drive away, with ski hire conveniently located right across the road. In warmer months, guests can take advantage of the incredible walking, cycling, and fishing opportunities nearby.
Whether you’re setting out for a day on the slopes, a hike through heather-covered hills, or a paddle in a loch, Fernbank is the ideal base. Come back for a hot shower, a warm fire, and all the comforts of a modern Highland escape.
A Place to Slow Down
There’s something about Fernbank Cottage that encourages you to press pause. It might be the stillness of the surrounding forest, the softness of the evening light through the trees, or simply the comfort of curling up with a book by the fire. This is a space designed for rest and embracing the slower pace of Highland life.
