Nestled amidst the serene beauty of the River Tay's outskirts, overlooking the majesty of Aberfeldy and the tranquil shores of Loch Tay, Tay River House stands as a testament to grandeur and timeless elegance. As guests approach this magnificent estate, the forty-acre grounds reveal stunning, naturally maintained gardens and open spaces, full of character, wildlife, and charm.
With its seven bedrooms and six bathrooms, Tay River House offers a sanctuary of luxury and refinement for up to thirteen guests. Step inside, and you are instantly transported to a bygone era, where every corner whispers tales of history and sophistication. The rich wood panelling, antique furnishings, and ornate fireplaces envelop guests in an atmosphere of opulence, while modern conveniences ensure a stay of unparalleled comfort.
Yet, it is the gardens that truly steal the spotlight, weaving a tapestry of colours and scents against the backdrop of breathtaking vistas. Originating from the 18th century, the ornamental garden, curated by the late Mr J Douglas Hutchison, boasts an array of rare and exotic plants, each adding to the enchantment of the landscape. The stream garden, a marvel conceived in 1928 by Ian Lawrie of Dundee, winds along the course of the Bolfracks Burn, offering a serene retreat amidst nature's embrace.

Steeped in history, Tay River House bears witness to centuries past, once owned by the illustrious Menzies family before becoming part of the Taymouth Castle Estate in the late 18th century. In 2020, the estate found new custodians in Davide Fregonese and Ivana Todoric, who, enamoured by its charm, pledged to preserve its legacy while infusing it with modern comforts.
