About
Glenardle Lodge
A special place to stay in rural Perthshire
Glenardle Lodge is a well-established holiday home in Highland Perthshire, created for guests who value space, comfort and a peaceful setting. It is a one-off property rather than part of a portfolio, and it is carefully looked after to offer a consistently high standard of stay.
The lodge is busy year-round and particularly well suited to guests who appreciate its character, location and the way the house works for relaxed group holidays.
Thoughtfully managed, locally supported
Glenardle Lodge is privately owned and professionally managed, with a trusted local team caring for the property on the ground. Bookings and guest communications are handled directly, supported by clear and reliable systems that make the booking process straightforward, while still allowing for personal contact when needed.
​
This approach ensures the house is consistently well maintained, issues are dealt with promptly, and guests can enjoy their stay knowing everything is quietly and efficiently taken care of.
​
Designed for exceptional group living
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.
​
Guests often comment on how rare it is to find a house that feels both expansive and comfortable at the same time, and how well the layout supports easy, sociable group living.
A beautiful setting in Highland Perthshire
Set in the village of Bridge of Cally, Glenardle Lodge enjoys an elevated woodland setting above the River Ardle, with forest views and straightforward access to walking routes and open countryside. The village is often described as the gateway to the Scottish Highlands, making the lodge a practical and peaceful base for exploring both Perthshire landscapes and Highland scenery beyond.
​
The Cateran Trail passes directly through Bridge of Cally, and the surrounding area is particularly popular with walking groups and guests planning outdoor breaks throughout the year. With a combination of gentle local walks and more challenging Highland routes within easy reach, the location suits a wide range of interests and abilities.
​
Guests are encouraged to book direct through the website, where you’ll find the best available rates and clear, detailed information about the house and its setting. Booking direct also makes it easy to ask questions in advance and ensure Glenardle Lodge is the right fit for your group.
