Forest Lodge, Pitlochry, Perthshire

Built on the banks of the River Tilt and surrounded by beautiful hills and forests, Forest Lodge provides the perfect escape from everyday life.

The lodge is a classic sporting lodge, and is still used today by fieldsport guests; however, it also makes an excellent base for larger groups of friends and family celebrations.

Inside the lodge, there is a spacious drawing room with bay window and open fire, and a large dining room, also with an open fire. A smaller sitting room provides a separate area for reading or watching TV or a film.

The fully equipped kitchen has a catering sized dual fuel cooker with gas hob and electric fan oven plus a free-standing gas cooker, a larder fridge, smaller second fridge, chest freezer, two dishwashers, microwave and hostess trolley as well as an enclosed larder.

In the separate utility/drying room there is a washing machine and tumble dryer, and there is also a second drying room.

The private garden has outdoor furniture, a barbecue and some of Scotland’s finest views. The garden also provides a great spot to look out for some local wildlife including red deer, red and black grouse, ptarmigan and birds of prey, or watch the salmon swimming up the River Tilt which runs past the lodge.

Despite its secluded location, the lodge is a short drive away from the village of Blair Atholl where there are local shops, restaurants and pubs, a tennis court, swimming pool and a golf course. Guests at Forest Lodge also receive free entry into Blair Castle and Gardens.
