Nestled into the hillside and surrounded by the wild beauty of Perthshire, this spacious and characterful retreat provides the perfect blend of charm, comfort, and tranquillity. From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel a sense of fun and wonder—this is no ordinary holiday home.
Inside, original stone walls, elegant windows, and unique architectural features nod to the cottage’s history, while modern furnishings and thoughtful touches ensure a truly relaxing stay. At the heart of the home, a striking double-sided wood burner adds warmth and atmosphere to the lounge. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame stunning loch views, and upstairs, roof balcony windows open to the Highland skies. All five beautifully appointed bedrooms offer spectacular outlooks, with three opening directly onto the terrace, allowing nature to flow indoors. A contemporary extension provides a large, open-plan living space ideal for cooking, dining, and unwinding together. Step outside to an expansive balcony with a sunken hot tub, BBQ area, and stylish seating—all perfectly positioned behind glass balustrades to make the most of the view, even from the bubbles. A short stroll down to the garden will enable the whole group to enjoy the views from a large glazed sauna positioned next to the burn where a cascading waterfall feeds a natural plunge pool, once used for village baptisms; now a truly Nordic style wind down.
While the cottage itself may tempt you never to leave, the surrounding area is packed with things to explore. Just a short drive away is the conservation village of Kenmore, offering a shingle beach, lochside walks, welcoming eateries, and the Crannog Centre—a fascinating Iron Age reconstruction.
With Loch Tay as your constant backdrop, activities like wild swimming, paddleboarding, loch cruises, or fishing are right on your doorstep. Walk from the cottage straight into the hills, tackle local Munros, or cycle through the dramatic landscapes of Glen Lyon, one of Scotland’s most remote and beautiful glens. Positioned in between Aberfeldy and Killin, the cottage enables guests to immerse themselves in the Scottish countryside whilst having local amenities only a short drive away.
Nearby Fortingall is home to the ancient Fortingall Yew, believed to be the oldest living tree in Europe. The village of Killin and the Falls of Dochart offer postcard-worthy beauty, friendly pubs, and independent shops. For a more lively day out, head to Aberfeldy for art galleries, riverside cafés, a renowned bookshop, and the Dewar’s whisky distillery.
There are plenty of activities for Thrill-seekers, ranging from quad biking to axe throwing, canyoning and white water rafting, whilst the “chill seeker” can enjoy golf at one of three local golf clubs or spend time bird-watching Osprey and Golden Eagles. Join a Highland Safari on land or water to spot local wildlife and learn about the history of the area, or simply roam the miles of trails surrounding the cottage. Whether you’re in search of peace or adventure, Chapelburn Cottage delivers both.

We had a fantastic week at Chapelburn: it was the perfect venue and location for our family gathering. The house is spacious and well spread out and the kitchen has all the equipment you could ever need. We loved the hot tub and sauna with incredible views over Loch Tay. Ellis and Jayne were wonderful hosts; the were unbelievably accommodating and gave us some excellent recommendations. We especially loved the Glenlyon tea room, Ballintaggart restaurant and canyoning. I would highly recommend a stay at Chapelburn; our children keep asking us when we can go back to, "the really amazing house!"

Our stay at Chapelburn was brilliant. Ellis and Jayne got in contact a couple days ago before we arrived to give us better directions to get to the cottage, which was really helpful. When we arrived Jayne gave us a walk around of the house, we were also left with plenty bottles of water, a bottle of wine and some home grown veg. The hosts were so attentive throughout the stay and were on hand for absolutely anything we needed. The cottage itself was stunning and the views were just breathtaking. We came as a group of friends and have already decided to book again for next year. Highly recommend!

This an absolutely outstanding property with everything you need. The location is amazing with stunning views from every room, the large patio/balcony, hot tub & sauna. All amenities are available within a short drive (less than 15 mins) and it’s an ideal base for the many activities, sights and walks etc in the area. The property is also very dog friendly with the rear garden totally enclosed.The host Ellis was brilliant, he contacted us prior to the visit to make sure we had everything we needed and then was on hand throughout our stay. His knowledge of the area is excellent and he couldn’t have been more helpful, even accompanying us on one of the most scenic runs we have ever done.Chapelburn is a place we would definitely revisit and recommend.
