Rannoch
Rannoch
Introduction
Rannoch is Gaelic for bracken, which tells you something about where it sits, right on the edge of the trees with the woodland pressing up close. One of three cabins at Red Hill Retreat, it's the one that leans hardest into the idea of a real switch-off. There's a kingsize bedroom, a rain shower and a love seat by the window that's made for an afternoon with the record player and a stack of old records. Big windows bring the woods right in, and mornings start with soft light through the trees and not much noise beyond the birds. Come evening you head back to the private deck, light the fire pit and watch the day go. Rannoch shares a woodland sauna with sister cabins Kin and Loch, with a cold shower for anyone brave enough. It's a quiet, lovely spot, and it doesn't ask much of you.

Location
Red Hill Retreat sits in woodland on the south shore of Loch Rannoch, a few miles west of Kinloch Rannoch village, with Rannoch set on the woodland edge. 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
Rannoch 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 Loch.
What's nearby
Cally Woods is right at the door, so the first walk of the day is an easy one. The lochside paths run flat and quiet for miles in both directions, and the water itself is there for kayaking, paddleboarding and wild swimming, with kit hire at the Loch Rannoch Hotel marina. 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 a meal out worth dressing up for, 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 there's House of Bruar and its food hall back towards the A9, plus the Blair Athol and Dewar's distilleries near Pitlochry and Aberfeldy. Schiehallion is a twenty-minute drive for anyone after a hill day, a steady climb with big views up top.
