Large Highland Holiday House Shooting Lodge with Fishing

045 Isolated Highland Lodge, Perthshire

Sleeps 12+5 Accepts pets

There are few places in the world where our footprints have not scarred the landscape, but this is one of them. If you ache for quiet splendour in peaceful surrounds come no further.

In a spectacular setting on a 34,000 acres estate, this Victorian shooting lodge is the perfect location to explore the untouched wilderness of Perthshire, accessible by an 11 mile private road, which is not open to the public. With breathtaking scenery overlooking Loch Ericht it is ideal for birdwatchers and ramblers alike, with frequent reports of Golden Eagles sighted overhead.

This traditional shooting lodge is richly decorated with period furniture and paintings, and offers luxurious accommodation within this isolated setting, suitable for family gatherings and fishing parties alike. The comfortable sitting room with open fire and games room provide the perfect spaces for evening entertainment, following a grand dinner which can be held in the traditionally decorated dining room, complete with wood burning stove. The dining table is ideal for 8 adults, but can seat up to 12 adults if required. The bedrooms are on the two floors above and there is full electric heating throughout. This is ideal for families with children who enjoy the outdoors and want their own space.

For those wishing to bring a boat, there is access to the loch via a boat ramp close-by. Fishing for wild brown trout from the bank of the loch is included within the rental. The lodge is surrounded by a haha and fencing to keep the red deer off the lawn, whilst there is a self-contained lodge to the rear where a gamekeeper resides on a permanent basis. The lodge is not available to let between the months of November – March each year.
