Lapwing and Curlew Shepherds’ Huts

Situated in Tulliemet valley on an old shepherd’s hill track, our huts enjoy breathtakingly long views across Strathtay and beyond.

Our huts are luxurious and make for the perfect glamping getaway. Decorated beautifully, they offer block printed linens, hand-stitched quilts, and the comfiest king-size bedchamber. You will be glamping with a hot shower, fully fitted kitchen, electric underfloor heating, and log burning stoves to keep you extra warm.

The two huts are 20m apart sitting in a meadow and surrounded by fields. There are hammocks to read in, an outdoor firepit with wooden armchairs, and sheepswool rugs.

We encourage you to explore nearby Tulliemet Moor which forms part of the Forest of Clunie SSSI, where you may spot osprey, lapwings and curlews, deer,  trout, otters and – if you are lucky – our newly arrived resident beavers.
