Rannoch
Loch
Introduction
Loch is named for exactly what you'd expect. One of three cabins at Red Hill 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, thought through with a rain shower, a kitchen that punches above its size, a fire for the evenings and interiors made for doing very little. Step onto the private deck and it's just you and the water. Loch shares a woodland sauna with sister cabins Kin and Rannoch, with a cold shower afterwards for the brave, and Cally Woods is on the doorstep for a morning wander. After dark, the night sky here is about as good as Britain gets.

Location
Red Hill 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. Cally Woods is on the doorstep. Kinloch Rannoch has the nearest shop and pub; Pitlochry and the A9 are about an hour east.
Good to know
Loch sleeps two, with one bedroom and one bathroom, and is adults only. Check-in is 4pm and check-out 10am, though Red Hill's Longer Lie Guarantee gives you two extra hours when nobody's arriving that day. Dogs are welcome. The sauna is shared with sister cabins Kin and Rannoch.
What's nearby
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. Cally 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 worth booking 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.
