Please note: Sorry, no stag or hen parties. There is an unfenced loch 100 yards away, which is not accessible from the property. This property has a natural water supply via bore hole.. In the heart of glorious Highland Perthshire, this fabulous lodge is set in a wonderful position overlooking the loch and deer park at Glengoulandie. This small country park covers 35 acres and is situated between Aberfeldy and Pitlochry, surrounded by stunning scenery – the famous peak of Schiehallion is just down the road.
Spacious, smart, yet warm and welcoming, the lodge features patio doors from the open plan living/dining and kitchen areas, opening onto a large fully enclosed deck running the full width of the lodge. High ceilings, full length windows and underfloor heating make it a light and airy as well as cosy throughout the year. You will not tire of looking at the water and mountains beyond, with the ever-changing light. Grocery deliveries to the lodge can be arranged by booking an online delivery slot from nearby supermarkets.
The loch and surroundings are brimming with wildlife – geese and ducks are resident most of the year and a wide selection of other birds and wildlife are often seen, as well as squirrels, pine marten and of course the deer. There are good walks from the doorstep – take a circular route through the deer farm beyond the loch and back again or try more challenging options up any of the seven Munros within 10 miles; Schiehallion itself or Ben Lawers, the highest mountain in the region. Cycling and mountain biking are popular round here, with amazing views and challenging roads.
For a more leisurely day out, visit the pretty conservation village of Kenmore (5 miles) at the northern end of Loch Tay. There are water sports aplenty here such as sailing, canoeing, water-skiing, jet-biking, or if you prefer to stay on dry land fishing, pony trekking and golf. Good eateries and shops will complete a great day out. Aberfeldy is only a 20 minutes’ drive with local interesting independent shops, a supermarket, galleries, eating places, a community-run cinema and an award-winning book shop.
The famous Dewar’s Whisky Distillery offers tour and sampling and there are riverside walks and white water rafting for the more adventurous. A Highland safari takes you up into the mountains to see local wildlife including deer, peregrine falcons, ospreys and golden eagles. This area has many historic buildings, castles, and gardens which you can visit to discover the rich history of the area. Shop 9 miles, pub, and restaurant 8 miles.

Beautiful location, amazing views.Very comfortable and extremely spacious (not your standard lodge). Well equipped and easy to self cater from (asda delivery was great)The perfect balance between being away from it all but not too much of a drive to get to other places, the scenery in the area is breathtaking.Seeing the deer & golden eagles from the Lodge was the icing on the cake !!Loved this area, restful...will we come back...definitely yes!!

Our 4th time of visiting the lodge and it was as good as ever. Brilliant views, even better when a deer walked past the window. Everything you could possible need in there. Also loads of things to do in the area.

Wonderful lodge with 3 bedrooms and bathrooms, a living room, and a fully equipped kitchen. Great panoramic views from the veranda. The nearest town, Aberfeldy, is 8 miles away and offers several good restaurants, a supermarket, and a petrol station. An excellent home base for hikes in the area, such as Schiehallion, Dun Coillich, Loch Tay, Loch Rannoch, and Loch Tummel. Edinburgh, Glasgow, and the North Sea coast (Dundee) are less than a 2‑hour drive away, making them easily reachable for day trips
