Woodland Holiday Lodge in Highland Perthshire
Set in a peaceful woodland setting above the River Ardle, Glenardle Lodge offers forest views and a strong sense of connection with the surrounding landscape. The elevated position offers privacy and open views, while the village setting means local amenities and walking routes are close at hand.
This part of Highland Perthshire is often described as the gateway to the Scottish Highlands, offering the best of both worlds: the gentler scenery of Perthshire combined with easy access to Highland landscapes beyond.
The house
Glenardle Lodge is a striking contemporary house, designed to make the most of its woodland setting. Large floor-to-ceiling windows run through the main living spaces, drawing in natural light and opening up expansive views across the treetops and surrounding hills. The effect is immediate - the landscape becomes part of the experience, inviting the outside in throughout the day.
The main living area is a generous, open-plan space that has been carefully zoned to work exceptionally well for groups. There is room for everyone to be together, while still allowing people to relax in different ways - cooking, eating, reading or watching television - without feeling crowded or interrupted.
The kitchen, dining and seating areas are thoughtfully arranged so that activity in one space does not overwhelm another. This balance between openness and separation is one of the house’s most valued features, particularly for intergenerational families and groups who want to stay connected while enjoying their own rhythm.
The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, with a clear emphasis on quality, space and thoughtful design - high standards without stiffness - allowing guests to settle in quickly and feel at home.

Testimonials
Sophie M., Edinburgh
We stayed at Glenardle Lodge for a family birthday and couldn’t have asked for a better place. The house is spacious and beautifully designed, and the views over the river and trees were stunning. The hot tub was a huge bonus—especially at night under the stars. We’ll definitely be back!
Laura T., Newcastle
Everything about this house makes it easy to relax. The open-plan kitchen/living area made our group dinners so much fun, and the wood-burning stove gave off the loveliest atmosphere. A short walk into the village and great woodland trails nearby too. Highly recommend.
Rachel P., Glasgow
Glenardle Lodge is even better than the photos. Beautiful location, incredibly clean, and perfect for a group of friends. We loved waking up to the sound of the river and birds, and the hot tub was just what we needed after long walks. Quiet, comfortable, and well worth the stay.
