Blackloch is home to James Cope and Anne Lonsdale and lies at the middle of our working farm in the heart of Scotland. In the old stone-built steading next to our house we welcome guests to the Bothy – a luxurious, comfortable and private space for bed and breakfast. We provide a delicious continental breakfast using local and home-made organic products to eat at your leisure.

We aim to give all those who visit us a wonderful environment in which to breathe, relax and enjoy the simple and good things in life. Most of us crave time to be in nature and this is exactly what you can do here. We share this wonderful place with an abundance of wild animals. The small loch that you can see from the Bothy is home to many varieties of birds.

Blackloch is in Perthshire between Dunkeld & Blairgowrie, right in the heart of Scotland. Here, you are under an hours drive to many world class outdoor activities and places of historical interest.

You may choose to stay right here and take a walk in the woods or play a game of tennis on our new all-weather court. We also welcome any enthusiasts who may wish to join in log chopping to feed the biomass boiler or gather some fruit to feed themselves!

Anne has spent many years practising and studying yoga and offers yoga sessions in the beautiful circular room at the top of the house. Our dedicated yoga room is a perfect setting to relax, re-energise and stretch.

There is so much to do in the area. Here is a taster with some web links. We will happily help and advise as required.
