We have key features in our location at West Park.

Centrally located two miles north of Braco village which lies near the junction of the A9 and A822 at southern end of Perthshire Tourist Route, gives us road access in all directions allowing day travel to most of Scotland's key visitor attractions. For the active, golf, fishing, sailing, walking, cycling, horse riding, off-road driving, falconry, health club facilities, and an extensive range of eating-out venues to match every taste and budget are all within easy reach.

Elevated at 600 feet, affords perfect rural peace, quiet and privacy with outstanding views to east, west and south over the Allan valley to the Ochil hills. Close to the heather-line, with woodland nearby, ensures an abundance of wildlife; red and roe deer, red and grey squirrels, foxes, rabbits, brown hares, hedgehogs, stoats and weasels can often be seen at work and play. Buzzards, kestrels, owls, lapwings, pheasants, grouse, partridge, oyster catchers, geese, curlews and a host of smaller garden birds, bringing the spring and summer countryside to life with their morning chorus, make an early morning walk a 'not to be missed' experience. When the birds are quiet, you really can hear the silence broken occasionally only by the sound of cattle munching grass over 100yards away.

Historic Scotland is on our doorstep. The driveway is accessed off an old military road built to link Stirling and Fort Augustas, typically straight, by General Wade, circa 1724. The extensive Ardoch Roman Fort and surrounding camps are in fields between West Park and Braco. The Battle of Sheriffmuir site lying beyond towards Dunblane, Wallace Monument, Stirling Castle and Bannockburn a few miles further on, and a host of castles throughout Perthshire, combine to give visitors easy access to much of historic Scotland, and, on a clear day, the locations mapped out before them from the breakfast table.

Rail stations at Gleneagles, Dunblane and Stirling allow regular traffic-free access to central Edinburgh and Glasgow, essential if the visitor is to fully appreciate these great cities.

International links are simple and direct with Edinburgh and Glasgow Airports, and Zeebrugge-Rosyth Ferry Terminal all within one hours drive. Car hire facilities are available at all terminals.
