We had an amazing couple of nights in the lodge for my wifes 50th. From start hosts were excellent & in engage when I had some queries. On request, they also add some lovely decorations for my wifes birthday. Lode was perfect & views from hot tub were stunning
Absolutely beautiful location, lovely, clean and well equipped lodge with a stunning view I miss this the most! Very peaceful location with lots of walks around the place The St Fillans Viewpoint walk, walk to Dalchonzie or Loch Earn we had a fantastic week here and would highly recommend this place, if we plan to visit St Fillans again, I would book Red Kite again! Thank you!
Lovely well kept lodge! Everything you need for a weeks stay. Only thing that would have made the whole thing better would be the hot tub having a little more privacy from other lodges especially ones with security cameras.
Absolutely fabulous the only fault was with the gate requiring attention the ... Absolutely fabulous the only fault was with the gate requiring attention the lodge was fantastic spotless hot tub was amazing we will be back in September hopefully once again the place is fantastic thank you
What an absolutely brilliant holiday. The location, comfort and facilities at the lodge were outstanding. The only thing that didnt help was the weather which is no fault of the owner
We had a brilliant stay at Red Kite Lodge. The lodge itself was really well maintained and clean, with everything we needed for a family of 4 and 2 dogs. The hot tub was a winner and we used it every evening, with the views of the mountains very scenic. It was a brilliant location for Watersports on the loch and we enjoyed padel boarding and ringos. We also enjoyed a hike up Ben Vorlich and the spectacular views from the top.
The place was well kept and everything was amazing. Alan was very informative and communicative. We had great time with family and our puppy.
Had the most amazing time in red kite lodge. Situated with beautiful views of the mountains. Nice quiet relaxing spot. Very comfortable and cosy. Everything you need is here. Loved the hot tub aswell. Would definitely recommend coming here.
We had a lovely short break. The Lodge was beautiful in a gorgeous setting....beds comfy,the heating very good & the hottub was very welcome after long walks.It was lovely gazing at the snowy mountains & later the stars.Kitchen was well equipped & clean.We had fun looking for wildlife.....a muddy trek up Ben Vorlick as the snow was melting.I was pleased to see a mountain hare! We had a couple of minor problems which were quickly sorted out by Alan & Debbie.Communication was excellent & we,d definitely stay here again.
Vi flte os meget velkomne, isr med de lkre sager du havde sat til os. Vi satte pris p at Spa badet var opvarmet da vi ankom. Dejligt hus med central beliggenhed for vores ferie. Hvis vi skal kritisere noget, var emhtten og bageplade snavsede, s vi undgik anvendelse de frste dage. Overordnet er vi meget tilfredse og ville gerne komme igen.
Great location, what a view! Good amenities in the well kept and clean static caravan. Good communication from owners.
Such a lovely well equipped cottage. Spotlessly clean and owner Alan on hand to offer advice on the area. Super impressed with the site it's self. Very quiet and my young kids were safe to adventure and use their bikes without us having to worry. This lead us to have a relaxing time. The hot tub was a bonus and with the Red Kites flying over the cottage in the mornings it really was magical. Highly recommend.
Such lovely place. Caring owners! Amazing views and calming location.. we had sheep visitors! I really enjoyed my stay, had everything I needed. So little walk to lake or village shop, where they stop serving food at 3pm and close at 4pm, bigger supermarkets 20 min drive. Nice playground for children. Strong good showers Lovely hot tub Everything was working well! Cozy lounge and comfy sofas, lovely fire place to watch in the evenings! Bonus Netflix and other apps to watch on tv! Only minor down for me was, storage spaces shelves had extra things, especially Christmas decorations. Or something big under main bed.. I couldnt fit my suitcase there. Or fully use the shelves for my clothes in walking wardrobe. Would have been amazing if that walk in wardrobe was empty, as to have one in the house is every ladies dream, I dont have one, and such a shame I couldnt enjoy it at my stay. And apart that I really enjoyed everything and would definitely come back again!! Thank you Alan and Debra
I'd like to express my family's heartfelt compliments following our recent stay at Red Kite Lodge. My husband, daughter, and I were graced with a delightful week the lodge itself truly enhanced our trip. Upon arrival, we noted that the lodge was commendably clean and wellmaintained, an indicator of the care and diligence that your team exercises. The heating was excellent, furnishing us with cosy evenings in, while the hot tub provided a luxurious and welcomed bonus. Further praise is due to the owner, who exhibited an excellent level of approachability and responsiveness to our queries. It is outstanding to encounter such dedication and swift communication in the hospitality industry. In light of our overall experience, we feel impelled to recommend your establishment enthusiastically to others. Your commitment to quality service is duly appreciated, and we trust others will recognise this too. Thank you once again for providing us with a memorable stay.
Had a fantastic week here celebrating my birthday. The accommodation was everything it was stated and extremely comfortable. Alan provided all information and we only had to contact him regarding the whereabouts the fireplace remote control. We were very fortunate with the weather and every night was star watching in the hot tub. lovely walks all around and a meal to die for in the Achray House. Not really sure whats going on with the Four Seasons!!!!.... Absolute pleasure to stay here...
We stayed here for a long weekend at the end of August. Thankfully had some lovely weather only raining badly on the morning we left. Alan was excellent at looking after us before we arrived and during the stay, always ready to answer with advice and info. Of all the lodges on the site, this one has the best view, it is perfectly situated. It has everything you need and is well presented with the hot tub a bonus. We all really enjoyed our stay including our springer spaniel Max who loved sitting out on the decking soaking up the view, as well as the plentiful walks in the area. Would recommend this 100 to anyone looking for a lovely relaxing holiday.
We had a fantastic Monday to Friday stay in the lodge. Very modern interior and comfortable for a family of four. Kitchen was well supplied with all the amenities, making all the more convenient. Jacuzzi was a fab in the evenings with a stunning view across the valley. Great location for short hikes or a trips day trips in car to nearby beauty spots and villages such as Killin. Will hopefully return next year
Red Kite Lodge is obviously not a lodge in most peoples sense. What it is, is a really well specced staticmobile home. Comfortable beds, excellent living area, well stocked kitchen we didnt use the washing machine, but good to know it was there, excellent hot tub and to top it all an amazing view. St Fillans is really well placed to access numerous local towns where theres activities for everyone. We did paddle boarding on the loch, walked two different well developed cyclewalking tracks that have been developed from disused rail lines. Being dog friendly was icing on the cake. We stayed for a week and had a really relaxing time. Would highly recommend.
The lodges was very comfortable great place to rest, beautiful landscape, silence that you can enjoy, we are very happy with the stay in lodges. We recommend this place is wonderful

Innerpeffray is home to Scotland's first free public lending library, a Georgian building beside the River Earn in rural Perthshire. Local people borrowed books here until 1968, and today you can still read the rare books in its collection. Highlights include a Great Bible with woodcuts by Holbein and the original Borrowers' Register, which lets you trace the families who once borrowed from the shelves.

Scone Palace is a Category A-listed historic house near the village of Scone and the city of Perth. Built in red sandstone with a castellated roof, it is a fine example of Gothic Revival style. For centuries the site held the Stone of Scone, on which early Scottish kings were crowned, and Robert the Bruce was crowned here in 1306.

It has returned to Perthshire after more than 700 years.
Tip: The Stone of Destiny experience needs a timed ticket, which you book at the front desk, so sort this out early in your visit.
