Lassintullich House

The experience of staying at Lassintullich House really begins 17 miles before your arrival, when you turn off Scotland’s north-south trunk road, the A9, and head west. All three of the roads that lead to this Victorian Highland lodge are single-track, winding through Tay Forest Park to the base of Schiehallion, one of Scotland’s 282 Munros. Once you reach the stone gatepost marked ‘Lassintullich’, you have arrived: it’s time to cross the cattle grid and dive into life in a Highland glen.

Living and dining

Lassintullich House is an ideal choice for a large group gathering of family or friends. This pet-friendly stone lodge was fully renovated in 2022, and the result is a warm and airy space full of traditional features. The lodge doubles up on the rooms you use the most: there are two high-spec kitchens, two lounges, two dining areas and two boot rooms. Lassintullich is a place to linger over meals, coffee breaks and aperitifs: the traditional dining room seats up to 20 people, and there are comfy chairs aplenty.

Bedrooms and bathrooms

In the Main House, you’ll find four king bedrooms (three ensuite) and a twin, while the East Wing has king, double and twin bedrooms.

Outdoors

The TV series Outlander was filmed nearby, and it’s easy to understand why: the landscape surrounding Lassintullich certainly is cinematic. There are wonderful views over Dunalister Water, and walks, cycle routes and wild swim spots aplenty to enjoy from the doorstep. Lassintullich House is in a National Scenic Area, which officially recognises the views of mountain ranges, lochs, glens and the dark night sky. Bird life is well supported here, as are ground-living species, so you might be lucky enough to spot curlew, red squirrel, dotterel, butterfly orchids, mountain hare, black grouse or peewits while you wander in the garden or across the high ground. After a day in the elements, warm up in front of the two wood burning stoves or open fire.

Location

Despite the feeling of complete isolation that Lassintullich provides, you’re only two miles from the pretty village of Kinloch Rannoch. Explore the woodland paths of Rannoch Forest, grab a homemade bite at the local café, pop by the general store, or head one mile further along the road for a pint at the Loch Rannoch Hotel. There’s plenty of storage for bikes, kayaks and other adventure kit in case you decide to try out some popular local activities too, such as road biking around Loch Rannoch, a gravel ride along some of the Badger Divide, or a paddle across Loch Tummel on a sunny day.
