space in each room, and a set of fluffy towels for each guest is provided.
A cot, high chair and pressure mounted stairgates can be supplied if
required.

There are an accommodating number of bathroom/wcs in the house - three in
all, one on each floor.

The Bobbin Mill has been designed with a self contained flat which is
included in the detailed accommodation and is accessed from the entrance
porch. This could be suitable for a nanny or cook and can be locked if
required. The accommodation includes a small kitchen with dining area,
shower room and separate stairway leading to a single bedroom/study.

For the safety and comfort of all our guests, the Bobbin Mill is a
strictly no smoking house, though there are no objections to smoking
outside. For the same reason we don't accept pets.

The Bobbin Mill is part of a group of buildings known locally as the
Mill of Ross, and was originally used to turn Bobbins for the textile
firm of Dewhursts, who owned the local Aberuchill Estate. Situated on
the banks of the River Earn, the Mill overlooks the weir which harnessed
the power of the river for its work. The Bobbin Mill is over 200 years
old and had fallen into disuse and chronic disrepair when in 2000 it was
rescued and converted to make a wonderful home. It is a Grade 'B' listed
building, and the conversion necessarily took account of that, the result
being a beautiful building which retains its traditional character from
the outside with the addition of a contemporary porch and deck, but inside
is completely new and stunningly stylish. Although only a mile and an
easy 15 minute walk from the picturesque village of Comrie, the feeling
is of being in the middle of the deepest countryside.

The wildlife seen from the Mill doorstep is diverse - Roe Deer (often
enjoying the garden plants!), an otter eating a fish on the river bank,
red squirrels in the beech trees outside the door, kingfishers, herons
and ducks on the river, and owls and oystercatchers noisily making their
presence known in the evening.

Comrie is an ideal location for exploring the Scottish Highlands and for
visits to Edinburgh, Glasgow, Stirling and Perth. It has a good range of
shops, bars, tearooms and restaurants and is 7 miles from Crieff which is
the local shopping town. There are wonderful walks to suit all, from lazy
ambles along leafy lanes to tackling the several Munroes in the area.
Fishing is a popular local sport and those inclined can fish from the
garden or travel the banks of the Earn to the Loch at St Fillans. Comrie
is also a perfect location for golfing and for touring the 30+ courses
of Perthshire. The Bobbin Mill is within easy travelling distance of many
local attractions including the oldest distillery in Scotland, water sports
on Loch Earn, the Auchingarrich wildlife centre, the Drummond Trout Farm
and fishery, and the Stuart Crystal centre.
