About this property

Aberfeldy 8.1 miles. Perched on the edge of a loch in the sleepy village of Glengoulandie, rests this superb self-catering lodge, Ptarmigan Lodge. Boasting a central location in the heart of Scotland, while providing access to Aberfeldy and Pitlochry, this Scandinavian style lodge is a welcoming retreat for families looking to escape the rush of everyday life. After parking up in the off-road parking space, unload your baggage into the entrance hall before finding the open-plan living space. Spectacular views await you each day from the living area, with the large picture windows and double glazed doors bringing beautiful sunrises, sunsets and full moon reflections in the lochan water, offering the perfect setting to enjoy alfresco breakfasts and late night drinks on the decking. Allow the chef of the group to get to grips in the kitchen, utilising a range of integrated appliances and preparing their ‘go-to' dishes, with the convenience of a dishwasher to assist with the washing up! As the night comes to a close, discover the bedrooms for some rest, including a family room with double and single bed, along with an en-suite bathroom, while there is also a super king-size with en-suite and patio doors to enjoy the beautiful views and a twin with en-suite shower, providing plenty of options. When you’re ready to explore, wildlife lovers will appreciate a variety of different birds nesting and visiting the lochan throughout the year, plus there are plenty of scenic walking opportunities through the county. Visit the ‘Outlander’ Country and see where many parts of the hit TV series was filmed, with some of the opening scenes filmed just up the road from Glengoulandie at the base of Schiehallion! Head to the town of Aberfeldy, where you will find a charming mix of pubs, restaurants and shops, along with natural delights such as the Birks of Aberfeldy where you can soak up the sights of the beautiful waterfalls and countryside. Sample some of Scotland’s finest whiskey at the Aberfeldy Distillery or take on some adrenalin-fuelled white water rafting, paintballing and river adventure trips with Splash White Water Rafting. A splendid base for a rural Scottish adventure, whatever time of year. EPC Rating: Band D

Aberfeldy, a market town in rural Perthshire, sits on the River Tay amidst stunning landscape. Aberfeldy is famous for its relationship with Robert Burns and his poem The Birks Of Aberfeldy, as well as the bridge built for General Wade in 1733. It is located close south of Valley Lyon, which is considered as Scotland's longest, loneliest, and loveliest glen. Aside from the breathtaking environment, there is much else to entice visitors. For pedestrians and bikers, there is a 10-mile riverside walk, as well as other trails through woodland and countryside. Aberfeldy is also on the Rob Roy Way and Cycle Route 7. The River Tay's whitewater rafting is a fantastic way to take in the surroundings. Castle Menzies is a magnificent 16th century castle that has been extensively renovated and is now open to the public. On the outskirts of town, take a distillery tour at Dewar's World of Whisky. Explore the town's various bars, restaurants, and cafes, as well as the galleries and craft shops, including the Scottish Chocolate Centre. The Scottish Crannog Centre provides a view into Iron Age life, while Loch Tay provides a variety of watersports. Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park are also nearby. Within an hour's drive, there are 30 Munros just waiting to be 'bagged'!

    They thought of everything and we had a wonderful few days would definitely recommend thank you

  • Irene

    Difficult when it's pitch black , pouring with rain and very late! A plan of the site would be very useful in finding the lodge in above conditions. Other than that 5 star

  • Mareike

    It certainly has the Wow factor - we were so happy when we first entered the lodge and saw the view! We even regretted being out so much since the lodge was so comfortable :) It is ideally positioned for exploring central Scotland.
