About the host
Hosted by Dom Iaconesso
We are two retired teachers who love gardening, reading, films and travel. We also like spending time at our beach cottage in Blairgowrie. We enjoy meeting people who rent our property and do all we can to help them enjoy their stay. Dom and Val
Why they chose this property
Our cottage was one of the first built in Blairgowrie and still maintains much of its period character. We love the way it is secluded and elevated which enables us to enjoy the cool sea breezes in privacy.
