WOW! WOW! WOW!!!What an amazing week our extended family of 13 experienced at Stenton House! The house is impeccable decorated and completely updated with modern lighting and technology. The expansive 12,000 sq ft home is truly amazing and the 35 acre estate on the River Tay is beautiful beyond words. Our four families of aunt, uncle and cousins had a fabulous mini family reunion that we will never forget. We had a chef come in and cater dinner on two of our seven nights at the property, with wonderful candle lit dinners in the main dining room. The younger children fished in the scenic river and many had a great time on the tennis court.The nearby town of Dunkeld is truly charming, with multiple excellent restaurants and easy access to needed supplies, even a local butcher shop. A great central location to call home base while you takeoff on adventures that let you visit many of Scotland’s wonderful sites throughout the country! Cheers!

Our group of 13 family members from 5 to 70 thoroughly loved our 9 days at Stenton House. The house and property are much more beautiful and spacious than the online pictures show. The location is ideal for day trips with many sites within easy driving time, or plenty to do if you just want to hang out at the property. Claire T. was exceptional help to us and answered our questions quickly. If you have a group don’t miss this place!

It is a beautiful and very unique property. It has been extremely well maintained and could not be more comfortable. The grounds are spectacular and no detail has been spared in the design of the home.
