Experience a slice of Scottish history for yourself at this enchanting manor house on the banks of Loch Tay. Built in 1753 as a summer hunting lodge for the Earl of Breadalbane, it has been lovingly updated to make a fabulous Perthshire retreat that wears its history with pride. The stone-walled living room will make you feel like you've stepped back in time, and the traditional library is the perfect place to pick out a good book and snuggle up beside the roaring fire. If you fancy some more modern entertainment, then there's a huge TV in the den, ideal for watching classic movies after a day roaming the Scottish countryside. There's plenty to explore on the estate itself, with two acres of magical woodland, complete with a fire pit and seating where you can gather and tell stories as you toast marshmallows. Stretch out your stresses in the yoga room, before sinking into the hot tub and drinking in the panoramic views – when the light dances on the hillside, the entire loch seems to sparkle.

Host
This home is managed by Oliver
This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Nearly twenty years ago, Oliver and his friend began curating the world's most unique and rustic getaways.
