Loch

For two, with room for the dog.

Welcome

Loch is named for exactly what you'd expect.

One of three cabins at Redhill Retreat, it sits on the south shore of Loch Rannoch with the water right in front of it, and on a still morning the whole loch goes flat and mirrors the sky back at you. It's a small, warm space for two, with a rain shower, a kitchen and a fire for the evenings. Step onto the private deck and it's just you and the water. Loch shares a woodland sauna with sister cabins Kin and Rannoch, booked by the slot so you get it to yourself, with a cold shower afterwards for the brave, and Carie Woods is on the doorstep for a morning wander.

What is here

One bedroom for two, a well-fitted kitchen with hob and air fryer, and a rain shower.

Where it is

Redhill Retreat sits in woodland on the south shore of Loch Rannoch, a few miles west of Kinloch Rannoch village, and Loch looks straight out over the water.

Carie Woods is on the doorstep. Kinloch Rannoch has the nearest shop and pub; Pitlochry and the A9 are 45 minutes east. The loch is the obvious draw, and it's yours to make the most of, kayaking, paddleboarding and wild swimming, with kit hire at the Loch Rannoch Hotel marina up the shore. Carie Woods starts at the door for a walk before breakfast, and the lochside paths run flat and quiet for miles in both directions. Kinloch Rannoch village is a few miles east and has the nearest shop, a couple of pubs and The Cornerstone, a community-run bar and restaurant below Schiehallion. For something special, the Moor of Rannoch restaurant sits further west and is best booked well ahead, with a daily-changing menu built on Scottish produce. The tearoom at Rannoch Station, one of the most remote stops on the railway, does a banoffee cake people drive out for. If the weather turns, House of Bruar and its food hall are back towards the A9, along with the Blair Athol and Dewar's distilleries near Pitlochry and Aberfeldy. And for a hill day, Schiehallion is a twenty-minute drive, a steady climb with big views from the top.
