Welcome

Set on a quiet hillside within Atholl Estates, Charlottefield is a two-bedroom lodge surrounded by woodland and open views.

It sleeps four, and Blair Castle, Pitlochry and Glen Tilt are all close by.

Charlottefield is a two-bedroom lodge for four on Atholl Estates, at Tulliemet in Highland Perthshire, tucked under an ancient Caledonian wood of oaks and birch. It looks across the glen and down to the River Tummel, with miles of trails and tracks from the door. Inside there's a super king room and a twin, a bathroom with a bath and a shower, and an open-plan kitchen and living room with a log burner and a starter supply of logs. The living room opens onto a south-facing terrace, where the table is carved from one of the estate's own trees, and there's a barbecue. After a long walk to a loch or up a Munro, light the wood-fired bath in the old woodshed next door and soak under the stars. Keep an eye out for the estate's pair of golden eagles, red squirrels, deer and beavers. Up to two dogs are welcome.
