## About The Property

Eastwood House: A Historic Riverside Sanctuary in Dunkeld

If you are looking for a place where history, nature and comfort meet, Eastwood House offers an experience unlike any other. Built in 1830, this elegant Victorian villa is a storied estate that has welcomed some of the most prominent figures in British history. With 1150 m² of living space and room for 20 guests, this generous holiday house provides a grand yet intimate setting for large family gatherings or milestone celebrations.

A Legacy of Famous Guests

The walls of Eastwood House hold nearly two centuries of stories. The house has hosted legendary actress Lillie Langtry, the celebrated artist Sir John Everett Millais, and former Prime Ministers David Lloyd George, Stanley Baldwin and Winston Churchill. It was also a favoured Highland retreat for the Royal Family.

Most notably, the estate’s nine acres of gardens were the childhood summer playground of Beatrix Potter. It was here at Eastwood House in 1893 that she wrote her most famous work, "The Tale of Peter Rabbit", finding inspiration in the very wildlife you can see from the windows today.

Riverside Life and the Heart of Dunkeld

The house sits in a breathtaking position directly on the banks of the River Tay, offering stunning views from almost every room.

 Salmon Fishing: For those drawn to the water, there is a unique opportunity to rent salmon fishing rights on the River Tay directly from the property. You can cast a line for Atlantic salmon on one of Scotland’s most famous rivers right from your own back garden.
 A 5-Minute Stroll to the Village: While the estate feels secluded, a short riverside walk leads you into the heart of Dunkeld. This cosy town is famous for its charming atmosphere, featuring artisanal bakeries, traditional bars, and award-winning restaurants that make exploring a delight.

At Eastwood House, you aren’t just booking a stay; you are stepping into a piece of Scottish history. It is a place to slow down, reconnect and enjoy the beauty of the Highlands in the very house where literary history was made.
