Lapwing Shepherd Hut (2)

Spent a couple of nights here again at the Shepherds hut at Tulliemet. Did a lovely walk up on the moors and spent a wonderful day at Blair Castle and its beautiful grounds. Have been there many times and never tire of it. October 2025

Had a great stay! Yvonne/staff were very responsive to any additional things we needed. The hut was quiet and had everything we needed. If only it didn’t rain so much so that we could use the fire pit more! September 2025

We had a lovely couple of days at Lapwing Shepherds Hut. Fantastic peaceful location with amazing views from the private seating area immediately outside your hut and lovely scenic walks straight from the hut. The hut itself is a master class in small space living. From the hotel standard bathroom to the super comfortable bed, to the fully kitted out kitchen even a wood burning stove. All finished off to a very high standard. There was lots of little thoughtful touches throughout. Really impressed, from the initial booking to the moment we left. If you’re looking for a quiet but comfortable escape from the rat race this is it! Highly recommended. September 2025

The location of Lapwing is impressive and the comfort of it compared to the wildness outside wonderful. The views from all windows and from the seating area and hammock were stunning and constantly changing with the weather, a lovely stay. September 2025

I was blown away by Lapwing, thoroughly enjoying the comfort of the cosy interior whilst appreciating the remote wildness outside. August 2025

Beautiful Glen views from a very comfortable campfire make more a very relaxing retreat. The cabin its self is extremely comfortable, well equipped and clean. It is a very pleasurable and cosy space if the weather is inclement! The location is ideal for a real isolated retreat. August 2025

What an magnificent place and if the weather conditions are good, it is a perfect spot!! And romantic! June 2025

Lapwing was just amazing. The setting was idyllic and we loved being surrounded by nothing other than nature and wildlife. We saw an Osprey, lapwing, badgers, deer and heard a cuckoo along with owls. The shepherd's hut was spotlessly clean, fully equipped and very luxurious. The bed was very comfortable and we loved waking up to the beautiful views. June 2025

The Lapwing Shepherds Hut at Atholl Estate didn't just meet our expectations; it absolutely shattered even our highest ones! This gem is in a truly perfect location: an easy two-hour drive from Edinburgh and just a short ride to charming towns like Pitlochry, Dunkeld, and Perth. It's wonderfully remote enough to offer unparalleled tranquillity, yet perfectly close to amenities for comfort and exploration. The hut itself was far more comfortable than we'd anticipated. Despite its compact size, it felt perfectly adequate, especially since you have acres of private space right outside your door. The water was hot and the shower pressure great, and even at 6'4", I can confirm the bed provided the most comfortable sleep we've had in ages. We enjoyed absolute privacy; save for a neighbour about 20 meters away and some sheep nearby, we had practically no one for company, which was exactly what we desired for our city escape. Beyond the hut, the location serves as an excellent basecamp for both invigorating hikes and scenic drives. We embarked on a stunning loop drive up to Killin, Glen Coe, Fort William, and Ben Nevis, stopping at the House of Bruar and Blair Atholl Castle on the way back – a thoroughly satisfying circuit of around six hours maximum driving. Inside the hut, the fridge, kettle, hob, and oven are perfect for preparing any meal you fancy. We initially stayed for only four nights but could easily have stayed, and desperately wanted to stay, for significantly longer. This is unequivocally the one place I'm certain I'll return to before long. It receives my most enthusiastic recommendation! A quick tip for future visitors: If you're renting a vehicle, opt for one with some ground clearance for the path leading up to the huts. We managed with an extremely low-slung coupe but had to be much slower and more careful than ideal. Any SUV would navigate it perfectly. May/June 2025

We had a lovely stay in this gorgeous shepherds hut - the bed was incredibly comfortable, and we had everything we needed. The location was stunning, with beautiful views in every direction and close to amenities. We would definitely stay again! May 2025

This tiny house was the best place we've stayed during our 10 days trip ! It's small but very well thought, you have everything you need to cook, shower, make a fire... the view is nice and peaceful. The bed is the best we ever slept in, ever ! Great price for value compared to other hotels in the UK. We recommend a 100% !! April 2025

Really enjoyed our 2 night stay at the Shepherd's hut. The location is absolutely stunning and the grounds around the Shepherd's hut were beautiful - so relaxing and peaceful. We did a 6 hour hike just leaving the hut and turning left up the shepherd's trial and loved every minute of it. The accommodation was so clean and cosy and I loved the attention to detail and interior design. There was so much firewood left out for us which was really appreciated. I loved that we could enjoy the space whilst bringing our dog also.

Stayed in the Lapwing shepherd’s hut twice now and we absolutely love it. We’ll definitely be back again. Such a nice spot and the hut has everything you need and it’s presented so well. Especially like having the maps of the local area to be able to plan walks etc. A really simple thing but so convenient. It’s such a peaceful and secluded spot. Sitting outside with the fire pit is just perfect. 10/10 September 2024
