Kinnaird Woodland Lodges

Just under two miles from Pitlochry's Atholl Road, the tarmac turns into a private road that climbs a wooded hillside; you leave the car fifty to a hundred metres below and take the steps up, bags carried for you if you ask ahead. At the top is a pine lodge built as one room around a wood-burning stove, with a hot tub on the deck and a view over farmland to the hills. Kinnaird takes no guests under eighteen — kept for two people with a week and nothing scheduled.

Inside, it's pine throughout — floor, walls, the open-plan kitchen and lounge built around the stove — with a window wall over the deck that holds the hill outside rather than the room. There is one lodge on this listing, built as a single space rather than divided rooms, so nothing needs explaining to anyone else: bedroom, kitchen and fire under one roof. Complimentary parking sits fifty to a hundred metres from the door, though every lodge is on a hillside and reached by at least one set of steps. Evenings mean the hot tub after dark and the stove lit for when you're back inside; from May to October the charcoal BBQ and smoker come out too. Kinnaird was created by the Burrows family, who still run it.

Kinnaird Woodland Lodges sets a minimum age of 18 in its own house rules, written at selfcatering-in-scotland.co.uk, and read there on 11 August 2026. A house whose rule drops below eighteen, or stops naming an age, is taken off HUSH — how every house is checked.
