Welcome to our self catering holiday Lodges in Perthshire
Portnellan House was built in the 19th century as a shooting lodge for the Marquis of Breadalbane. It later became a farm, then a guest house. The first award winnning self catering holiday lodge was built on the estate in 1980. Since then the estate has been run as a family business offering luxury and convenient holiday accommodation. The lodges are dotted across the south and west ridges of the Portnellan Hillside and offers guests a high standard of accommodation in a home from home luxury environment.

Our holiday cottages location in Perthshire
Once here at Portnellan you will marvel at its location. A short walk from your lodge are 2 lochs (Loch Luibhair and Loch Dochart) and an adjoining river offering 5 miles of game fishing. A wee island on Loch Dochart where Eilean Dochart castle ruin is situated. The lochs, castle and river can be explored by the free use of the estate kayaks and rowing boats. There is also free use of bicycles. A Canadian canoe is also available. On the estate there is a wee visitors centre offering you free use of over 200 videos and DVDs, local maps and information, walks in the area, board games and magazines. We even sell fresh eggs from the farm next door. Most lodges have WiFi but for those that don't there is a WiFi hotspot.
The 'Centre of Everywhere but the Middle of Nowhere' is the best way to describe Portnellan's location. The breath taking countryside steeped in Scottish History and Heritage but with accessibility to other outdoor activities, visitor attractions, castles, museums, galleries, distilleries, restaurants, pubs and much much more. Quaint villages, our bustling towns and historical cities. Scotland is steeped in History, from the Picts and Caledonians to the invasion of the Scots from Ireland. The battles with the 'Viking hoards' and the struggle for independence of state and church, to the present day Parliament in Edinburgh. Our Poets and writers, engineers and scientists all take their place in our history. The towns of Oban, Fort William, Perth, Pitlochry and Stirling are all approximately 1 hours drive whilst Edinburgh and Glasgow are approximately 1.5 hours.
