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.

A fantastic site in a fantastic area, remote but not too remote, ideal for our requirements. It is an area that we have visited previously over the years so we do have a knowledge of the area but we still found places which were new to us. We had some very interesting days out in the car! The 'cabin' was well maintained, well stocked with equipment, very tidy and extremely spacious. The pictures do not do it justice! The view from the veranda was out of this world! Well worth a revisit.

Fantastic lodge, very large and well equipped for all your needs, perfect for a family of six. The location is just right for travelling around the more remote areas of this part of Scotland and the views are spectacular.

Stayed at Glengoulandie Lodge over Easter in a family group of 4 adults and 11 yr old grandson & it was terrific. Three good size bedrooms, each with an accompanying bathroom. Comfortable, beautifully appointed and a magnificent location. The lodge is a credit to owners Colin & Mary. Well furnished, spotlessly clean & with everything necessary for our stay (including a welcome basket of snacks and goodies. With, & without caffeine, pods for the coffee machine being a real bonus). Tho’ it’s 5 or so miles from the nearest shop Colin confirmed we would have no problem getting a supermarket delivery, and he was correct. A great place to relax and enjoy wonderful views or walks. Easy access as well to white water rafting, canyoning and kayaking, whilst Aberfeldy offers a variety of shops cafes & restaurants (plus EV charging points).
