Check Availability
Situated within glorious, lush gardens, outside the small market town of Aberfeldy, the charming Bolfracks sits prettily on the banks of the River Tay. Its hillside grounds cocoon the white-washed, grey-fringed property and look out over the beautiful majestic landscape of the Tay Valley as its flat farmland and rugged forested hills change with the seasons.
Bolfracks boasts a varied history and its charming rooms, infused with personality, seem to epitomise that. Within, elegant interiors are linked through a rich tapestry of colour and pattern that flows gently from room to room, cleverly ensuring each one maintains a distinct and individual character; interesting chapters of the same story.
Making up the modest 40 acreage, the thoughtfully-maintained gardens are a peaceful, colourful oasis of trees, plants and flowers that entice guests to explore - from a walled garden to a wilder woodland garden with a babbling brook to the 1930s’ summerhouse.
The House
Bolfracks is available for exclusive use on a self-catered basis and makes a wonderful group holiday location or a space to celebrate a special occasion with family and friends. The house conveniently offers daily cleaning, car hire and private dining services. The latter can provide an unforgettable private dining experience, creating beautifully simple Italian dishes using the finest of Scotland’s fresh ingredients.
Inside
Refined period details, from wood panelling to antique furnishings and ornate fireplaces, create an atmosphere of old-fashioned luxury, whilst modern amenities feature subtly to ensure the most comfortable and enjoyable stay for guests. Enjoy a fully-equipped kitchen and spacious living areas.
Accommodation
Bolfracks has seven bedrooms (with six bathrooms) sleeping thirteen guests, each beautifully decorated to accentuate their period features. The characterful rooms are well-equipped and comfortable, featuring high-quality bedding.
The Gardens
The gardens at Bolfracks have no known origin, which adds to the charm and mystique of this varied landscape. Over the years they have undergone significant redesigning and replanting and now boast a vast selection of trees and shrubs amongst some extremely rare and unusual plants.
Leisure
The local area gives way to a range of country walks, outdoor sports and cultural activities. Try a boat tour on Loch Tay, a hike in the Highlands or visit the ancient standing stones and local castle ruins. Outdoor enthusiasts can experience kayaking and canoeing on the river, mountain-biking and hillwalking.

The house itself was built in the Scottish Baronial style and features many period details that have been lovingly preserved. The oldest part of the building is to the south; a two-story, three-bay block.
