FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • At the moment we are only open to those attending events, workshops, accommodation or for pre-arranged meetings. We are very sorry but we do not have a coffee shop on site, and all venue show arounds must be booked in advance. Please sign-up to our newsletter to be notified of upcoming events.

  • Yes- we have space for approximately 50 cars. The car park is sloped and is gravel. We have 3 accessible parking spaces with a path leading to the front door.

  • Guardswell is based smack bang in between Abernytheree and Kinnaird, on the south facing side of the hill. If coming from Perth, take the Inchmichael Flyover, aim for Kinnaird (Inchture) but do not go into the village of Kinnaird itself, carry on up the hill towards Abernyte and you'll find us just up the hill. If coming from Dundee, aim for Abernyte and take the road signed "Kinnaird", take that road for a couple of miles, and you'll find us on your right hand side. View our map and more directions here.

  • Sadly no buses or trains take you straight to Guardswell Farm. The closest train stations are Perth and Dundee, approximately 25 minutes away, and between £25-£30 in a taxi. If you intend to cycle to attend an event or to stay with us, please let us know prior to booking as we can provide you with a carbon-efficient booking discount code.

  • We do not have any public wifi in the buildings at Guardswell Farm. We are a digital-free zone and encourage our visitors to disengage with technology and take a moment to appreciate the slower things in life.

VISITING GUARDSWELL FARM

STAYING AT GUARDSWELL

  • All bookings are taken through our website. Please head to the “STAY” page, choose the hut or house you would like to stay in, choose your dates and then follow the instructions. Payment is taken by card and you can pay a deposit of 30% to secure the date, and then the balance 1 month before.

  • Please get in touch with us directly as BACS transfer may be possible depending on booking type.

  • Yes- we absolutely allow pets (please discuss if not a cat or dog)- please get in touch if you wish to bring more than one. As we are a working farm we ask that they are kept on leads at all times. We also ask that animals are kept off furniture and stay downstairs in the Farmhouse- we hope this is understandable.

  • This may be possible if done more than 4 weeks in advance of the booking. Please get in touch with us directly. This may incur a slight admin fee.

  • Check- In time is from 4pm until 8pm, Check-Out at 11am. Please discuss any later than 8pm arrivals. Late Check-Out may be an option if no follow on bookings. Bags can be kept in the office if you wish to arrive earlier, or pick them up later.

  • Yes- all beds come fully made up with 100% linen bedding, as well as some cosy blankets in each hut/house. One bath towel will be provided per person.

  • Yes, we do have highchairs and travel cots at Guardswell, however, these are used at your own risk- and you are required to bring your own linen/bedding for use in the travel cots.

  • We don’t currently have a café or restaurant- however, we occasionally host one off dinners and brunches (have a look at “events” on the website). All huts and houses are self-catering and have facilities for cooking. We occasionally have vegetables and eggs that can be purchased during your stay.
