A unique and special retreat.
Breathtaking views and sunsets.
Our family and hosts.
Imagine waking up in a luxurious suite, only to hear the distinctive sound of a song thrush greeting the new day, reminding you that you are not in a busy boutique hotel, but cosied up in a seriously sumptuous glamping pod in the heart of rural Scotland.
The Pigsty, our spacious wood-lined cabin, hidden away in a peaceful corner of our family farm near the town of Crieff in Perthshire, is a unique and very special retreat for those looking to escape the stress and clamour of city life.
We’ve set out to create a comfortable, convenient and luxurious glamping get-away for those who appreciate the finer things in life: all the “mod-cons” coupled with rich wildlife, sparkling fresh air, breath-taking views, sensational sun sets, and stunningly clear starry skies.
The Pigsty may be peaceful, but it is far from remote. It’s easily accessible, just off of the A85 – a major road that runs from east to west across central Scotland, linking Bridgend to Oban, via Perth. Along the way the A85 passes through the tourist hub of Crieff, our nearest town, which is just a few miles from our farm and glamping retreat.
Most of those who come to unwind at The Pigsty prefer to do very little other than enjoy the facilities and surroundings – after all, the birdwatching and stargazing from the deck is second to none.
If you’re looking to get active, go sightseeing, dine out or simply soak up the culture and atmosphere of the area, there are plenty of options.
Perhaps golf is your bag? Are you keen to get on your bike, or lace up your walking boots and get out and about? Fans of The Outlander TV series can seek out the filming locations. Maybe you’re into exploring some historic Scottish castles, or discover some surprising hidden gems like Scotland’s oldest lending library at Innerpeffray.
The Pigsty is set on our small, working family farm – South Ardbennie – but we’ve positioned our specially designed glamping pod in a quiet spot where you’ll not be disturbed by the day-to-day farming activity. The site also makes the most of the far-reaching views across the Strathearn Valley.
We’re an arable cropping farm with a bit of mixed woodland, and are extremely environmentally conscious. That’s why The Pigsty is crafted mainly from sustainable reclaimed timber, and we have several enclosures on the farm specifically planted up with feed crops for the wild bird population, to encourage the diversity of our rich wildlife.
As your hosts we are committed to making you as comfortable as possible during your stay, while respecting your privacy.
We love sharing our beautiful farm with our guests, and look forward to meeting you soon.
