Erigmore Leisure Park

This countryside retreat is nestled in the naturally gorgeous Perthshire, and with the idyllic woodland all around, this is the perfect place for families to escape into nature. The site is ideally located for guests to explore the incredible Southern Highlands, including the rustic Birnam Wood, which rose to fame by Shakespeare’s iconic Macbeth. There are plenty places to relax after a day exploring the countryside, both at your own lodge or in the on-site bar or swimming pool and sauna. 

The Park boasts a luxurious indoor heated pool available for all guests to use, which is ideal for a leisurely swim or taking your toddler to the mid-week Turtletots swimming classes. For the ultimate relaxation, visit the sauna and whirlpool bath. In the evening, have a drink in the comfortable on-site bar and lounge, where sports enthusiasts can watch the games on the six-foot screen.

This is also a great spot for an evening meal, where there are delicious pub classic meals on offer as well as a kids’ menu. Fishing is offered by the park for people of all levels, including the kids. There are two local rivers in which guests can try this out, both being easily accessible from the site. There are also some fantastic woodland and riverside walks perfect for a day out in nature. Why not bring a picnic and enjoy lunch surrounded by the trees?

Choose to stay in one of the park’s incredible high-end lodges, many of which have their own private hot tubs. The Boutique Spa lodges offer the epitome of relaxation for either a couple’s getaway or a family holiday for four. These both have a hot tub situated on the wooden veranda outside, which is perfect for taking a soak in the evening under the stars. The living rooms are open plan and have a homely interior, making it easy for guests to settle in and feel at home.

The Highland Spa Lodges are a more luxurious style, perfect for an indulgent romantic trip for two. As well as outdoor hot tubs, these lodges have a secluded decking area and fully equipped kitchens and living areas. For a bigger group wanting to stay for a bit longer, Erigmore Cottage is the ideal accommodation. This two-bedroomed cottage boasts a spacious family shower room and private hot tub, as well as a fully stocked kitchen. The living area is cosy and welcoming, ideal for a night in watching a film. This accommodation is also pet friendly, so be sure to bring your furry friend along.

The fantastic Scottish Highlands are right on the doorstep of this park, so there are plenty of opportunities to visit some truly breath-taking natural spots. Take a relaxing stroll around Loch of the Lowes where there are beautiful lakeside and woodland views.

Follow the circular 3.5-mile route along the River Tay to the village of Birnam, which is a charming spot perfect for coffee and cake at the end of your walk. Look for red squirrels, pine martin and more Scottish wildlife at Pine Cone Point, and take in the stunning views of Strathtay when making this journey.
