The Sheiling

Nestled amongst the trees on a small farm located between Perth and Dundee, this striking contemporary cabin provides a relaxing retreat amidst stunning countryside. You’ll see the distinctive red roof of The Sheiling first, perched high on a hill with spectacular views over the treetops and out to the River Tay. The unique mirrored bathroom building is trickier to spot, reflecting the mature woodland surroundings. After long countryside walks, you’ll be able to sit back and relax in your private wood-fired hot tub as you soak up the view or snuggle up in one of the sheepskin armchairs with the wood-burner crackling away.

The main cabin is an open plan living, kitchen and bedroom space with big windows so you can make the most of the view. You’ll find two armchairs perfectly positioned in front of the windows so you can enjoy the scenery in comfort. It’s especially spectacular during sunrise and sunset. There's a well-equipped kitchen area, and the wood-burning stove, which keeps the interior of the cabin toasty, also provides you with an extra cooking facility with its wood fired hob and oven. The comfy king size bed is tucked away from the windows creating a cosy bedroom area.

The bathroom is located in the separate mirrored cabin just across the deck. Inside, you’ll find a shower, sink and toilet. On the other side of the deck, there’s some outdoor furniture and a wood-burner so you can sit out late into the evening, enjoying your surroundings. After a long walk through the surrounding woodland and fields, relax in the wood-fired hot tub set just above the cabin amongst the trees.

The cabin has been designed to produce minimal impact on the environment using a private water supply, electricity provided by the farm’s wind turbine and wood-fired cooking facilities. Guests also have access to a range of other facilities on the farm, including a wellness studio with gym equipment and a sauna, a tennis court and a games room.

There’s plenty to explore right on your doorstep and you’ll find paths that meander through the trees and past viewing platforms. You can stay on the farm itself or head out into rural Perthshire where you’ll find plenty of hiking and cycling trails. Water sports and bike hire are available at the nearby Willowgate Activity Centre and any keen fishermen can organise a trip to one of the local lochs. For a change of pace, Perth and Dundee are both 20 minutes away by car, both with plenty in the way of galleries, museums and restaurants.
