Just beyond Perth, at the southern tip of a string of lochs, sits

Essendy House, a B&B bolthole for weary travellers and a

haven for wildlife lovers. Home to Tess and John Monteith,

Essendy House offers quiet comfort, seclusion and relaxation

in abundance and yet close by there is much to see and do.

Dating back to 1715 with more modern additions, this

white-washed country house is surrounded by rich gardens

and farmland beyond.

The Hosts

Tess was a Lloyds broker and is now an artist who is pleased

to offer guidance to guests if they feel like painting whilst

staying. John completed a career in the Army and plans to

build boats. They enjoy the mountains of Europe and have

chalets in the Alps where they spend part of the year.
