***Please read the Covid-19 2021 update below before sending a booking request***

Our modern guesthouse is situated in the quiet village of Kirkmichael. We are ideally positioned for you to explore the great outdoors, there are some wonderful walks right on the doorstep and we are within 25 minutes of the Cairngorms National Park, Glenshee, and Pitlochry.

Our space (inside and out) is vegan so we ask you to respect our beliefs and not to bring or consume any animal products on our property.

The space
*****COVID-19 REOPENING UPDATE*****

*We're reopening the guesthouse for the spring / summer 2021 season and have decided to switch to a self catering model. The space is still 100% vegan and only has a fridge, kettle, toaster and microwave but no hob or oven. You still cannot bring animal products into the guesthouse or grounds despite this now being a self catering guesthouse.*

*Breakfast is not included in your stay but welcome baked goods are still provided.*

*We will only be opening at weekends, to 1 or 2 guests at a time, and you can book for either 2 or 3 nights. This is so that we can leave the space empty for 72 hours between each booking to protect ourselves and our guests.*

**********************************************************************************

The guesthouse consists of a bedroom with a king sized double bed, a cosy living area with large windows looking out onto the surrounding fields as well as a comfortable sofa, a small but modern bathroom, and a kitchenette with a fridge, kettle, toaster, microwave, dining table, and V60 coffee maker.

Our guesthouse is not suitable for children between the ages of 2 and 12 years old. We have some dilapidated outbuildings and whilst we work towards renovating them we cannot allow children on the property. Please do not try to make a booking if you have children as I will have to decline the reservation.

As mentioned the whole space (both indoors and outdoors) is vegan. The kitchenette is stocked with oat milk, loose leaf tea, and coffee.

Our garden is a haven for wildlife and we enjoy watching red squirrels, rabbits, deer, and pheasants enjoying the garden. We are a working sanctuary so we are often in the outside areas caring for our rescued lambs between 7:30am and 9pm. If you would like to visit the lambs this needs to be pre-arranged at the time of booking and we will need to distance and wear masks.

We have a fire pit where you can have a fire. You will need to bring your own wood, matches / lighter, and newspaper to light a fire but you can also burn any twigs / fallen branches you find around the place. The fire pit can also be used as a spot for a disposable barbecue!

The guesthouse is vegan owned and operated (I’ve been vegan for 15 years) and we try to be as eco friendly as possible. We are powered by renewable energy (let us know if you need to charge your car!), our tea is loose leaf and we provide vegan and eco friendly shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap, and washing up liquid. We sourced the art for the walls from independent artists and designers and purchased some of our furniture second hand. We also wanted everything to be high quality so our sofa bed is from the luxury British sofa company Willow and Hall and our sheets and towels are Fair Trade organic cotton.

We are LGBTQIA+ friendly.

The guesthouse is equipped with a hairdryer and hangers. An iron and ironing board are available on request.

This is a no smoking guesthouse both inside and on the surrounding grounds.

Where you’ll be

Blairgowrie, Scotland, United Kingdom

Kirkmichael is a cute quiet village ideally located in the gateway to the highlands with easy access to local walks both short and long as well as to the Cateran Trail, one of Scotland’s Great Trails, and the Cairngorms National Park where you can walk, hike, kayak or ski depending on the season.

The village has two local pubs and there is also a local shop.

Other areas of interest include:
- Pitlochry where vegan travellers will find cafes and restaurants with vegan options as well as the infamous Gregg’s vegan sausage roll! 25 minute drive
- Dunkeld and Birnam, two picturesque villages located on the banks of the River Tay. You can visit The Birnam Oak made famous by Shakespeare’s Macbeth, have a drink by the river, or dine at one of the many vegan friendly establishments.
- We are also an hour from both Perth and Dundee where you will find museums, shops, gig venues, and vegan cafes.

After spending three and a half years travelling the world with my partner Nick we moved to Scotland to put down some roots. Our dream for our place in Scotland is to renovate our outbuildings sustainably, to grow our own vegetables and eventually to rescue some farmed animals once we have a sustainable business. We’re trying to create an eco vegan haven in the countryside! As a guest I’m pretty mellow. I enjoy walking and hiking & I'm much more likely to be found reading a book than doing anything resembling partying!

During your stay

The guesthouse is an extension of our home, I would love to welcome you, show you around, and tell you about the best walks in the local area. But this is your holiday! If you need to sneak in, switch off, and take a break from interacting with other humans we will happily leave you a key and you can have as much privacy as you want. We can even switch off the wifi if you really want a break from everything! Just let me know what you need.
