The market town of Aberfeldy stands on the River Tay amidst beautiful scenery in rural Perthshire. Famous for its association with Burns and his poem The Birks Of Aberfeldy, and also the bridge built for General Wade in 1733, Aberfeldy is just south of Glen Lyon, known as the longest, loneliest, and loveliest glen in Scotland. There is much to attract the visitor in addition to the spectacular scenery. There is a 10 mile riverside walk for pedestrians and cyclists, as well as numerous paths through forest and countryside. In addition, Aberfeldy is on the Rob Roy Way and Cycle Route 7. Whitewater rafting on the River Tay is an exhilarating way to enjoy the scenery. Castle Menzies is a wonderful 16th century castle, now fully restored and open to visitors. Take a distillery tour at Dewar’s World of Whisky on the edge of town. Sample the many bars, restaurants and cafes in the town and explore the galleries and craft shops, including the Scottish Chocolate Centre. The Scottish Crannog Centre offers a glimpse into Iron Age life and Loch Tay offers a multitude of watersports, while Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park are on your doorstep. An hours drive brings you to 30 Munros, just waiting to be 'bagged'!

Short walk into Aberfeldy which is a lovely town. Many walks straight from the lodge.

Immaculately clean. Comfortable beds. Full facilities. The view is exceptional. The setting peaceful. Perfect. I don't want to give any negative feedback particularly for something that is outwith the owners control but will echo another guests feedback and say that the road to the lodge does need a more permanent surface. We will definitely return. Thank you for sharing your beautiful lodge.

The lodge was well equipped, spacious and comfortable. The views were absolutely stunning. Early in our last morning I sat and watched a big rabbit and a pheasant just in front of the lodge. Every day we watched many sparrows and birds. It was blissfully and very relaxing. I liked it so much my sister has booked a stay here.
