A Wonderful and Charming Lodge
A wonderful and charming lodge located within walking distance of the local train station and in the heart of so much surrounding natural beauty. The property was spotless, peaceful, had plenty of amenities and perfect for warm summer evenings on the deck or cosy cooler nights. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and couldn’t recommend it enough!

Really Enjoyed Our Stay
We really enjoyed our stay at Steve’s place. It was spacious enough for 4 adults and very well equipped for eating in. It is conveniently located close to the local shop and pub and with lovely walks closeby. This was the perfect way to start our Scotland adventure- and was an easy drive from Edinburgh. We would definitely recommend this modern cottage for anyone traveling through the Cairngorms.

Lovely Stay
Had a brief but lovely stay here. Steve has provided a wonderful cabin which feels like a home away from home. You want for nothing and I would happily come back to visit for longer.

Great Accommodation
Great accommodation and well appointed. The lodge was furnished to a high standard. Everything you needed was there. Perfect location for us as our plan was to do some walking from Old Bridge of Tilt, just up the road. Peaceful and beautiful area. From check-in to check-out the whole experience was excellent.

The lodge was perfect for our weekend stay. As described and as per photos, with a fabulous deck area. The weather was actually warm enough to eat outside!

Super Stay
We stayed in the cabin for a couple of nights when up for a wedding. It was really easy to find and the host’s instructions for collecting the key were really straightforward. The cabin was lovely and cosy and spotlessly clean. A super little home from home for our stay. We went to The Loft restaurant on site and a little recommendation for that too. Food was brilliant. All in all, a super stay and a great host!

Idyllic, Comfortable Cabin
We had the best stay at Steve’s lodge and couldn’t recommend it enough. This was our 2nd time staying here and won’t be the last. It is the most idyllic, comfortable little cabin. Steve has kitted it out perfectly, and we didn’t want for anything. He went completely above and beyond when I realised I had booked the wrong dates. I reached out to him a couple of weeks before it and he actually changed dates that him and his family were meant to be there to ensure we could stay the dates we wanted. Thank you Steve!! We love your place.

The Place was Spotless
Steve’s place was in a cute gated community with a large outside deck that you could sit with a drink and listen to the Tilt River. The place was spotless. So nice and clean and very well equipped with all we needed. The beds were VERY comfortable and the linens so toasty warm. We really loved our stay and it was very close to hiking, restaurants and a good base for all to do surrounding Pitlochry.

Fantastic Location
A very well appointed cabin in a fantastic location. Most everything that one would need for their stay has been thoughtfully provided. We appreciated the clear instructions and how easy check-in was as well. Four adults might find it a bit tight, but certainly for three of us were plenty comfortable. For exploring the beautiful country-side, it’s in an amazing location. Many thanks Steve for being a great host.

Fantastic stay at Chestnut Lodge this weekend with friends. perfect location whilst clay pigeon shooting at County clays, paddle boarding at Loch Tummel and climbing Ben Vrackie.

Very Pleasant Stay
We’ve had a very pleasant short stay at Steve’s cabin, on the way back from Skye and heading to Edinburgh. It was very easy to find it following the handy instructions he sent to us a couple of days before. The cabin is located within a sort of caravan park, right next to the river; The park was very quiet as we visited at Easter time. The log cabin is just as the pictures show, spotless and cosy, with a very homely feel to it. The beds are snug and comfy, and the ‘gas fireplace’ was a plus to keep us warm as we had very humid weather. Unfortunately we couldn’t use the outdoor space because of the constant rain, but it must be lovely sitting there in the summer. We enjoyed the collection of DVDs instead and hazarded a wet walk up the nearby Glen Tilt, which you can access by foot. Great value for money, we’re definitely going to recommend it to family and friends!

Thank you Steve for letting us stay in Chestnut cottage. It is a great cabin and has been modernised to a high spec without losing that alpine feel.

We had a great time – 2 days of good walking in and around Glen Tilt.

Chestnut Lodge in Blair Atholl on the River Tilt . 2nd visit for us and won’t be the last. Well equipped cabin that has all you need for your break – clear info provided by the owner on how to operate things, how to access washing/laundry facilities (not always required but great to have the option). Well maintained cabin ie everything functioning and well kept and a good selection of kitchenware. Gorgeous location and a well maintained quiet site – perfect.

Charming and Well Equipped
The place is charming and well equipped. It is located in a kind of holiday village of similar dwellings, located on the banks of a charming river. Perfect location for exploring and visiting some distilleries and castles. Attention not suitable for groups of friends who want to party, the rules of the village are quite strict. We were with family so great!

Absolutely Beautiful
We were so impressed with our week’s stay at Chestnut Lodge. The cabin is compact but beautifully presented, very clean and comfortable. It’s also very well-equipped with everything a family would need for their stay. We enjoyed eating out on the deck furniture in the evenings and even caught a glimpse of a red squirrel. The park feels very secure with the gate key-fob entry system, and the onsite restaurant, The Loft, was lovely for a special meal. The peaceful location is absolutely beautiful with just a short walk to get down to the pebble beach of the River Tilt. We made use of the nearby fish and chip/ pizza shop beside the green in the village and also had breakfast at the local watermill. The couple of local grocery shops are well-stocked and there is a supermarket in nearby Pitlochry. There are several walks nearby and we particularly enjoyed seeing the Bruar Falls, reached from a trail that starts at the House of Bruar, a short drive away. We had excellent communication with the professional and friendly owner.

The property is amazing, very comfortable with everything you need for your stay and more. A quiet situation but within easy reach of first class eateries and pleasant walks. We parked the car when we arrived and didn’t use it until we left. Definitely want to stay there again.

Better Than We Could Have Imagined
A lovely stay with great local attractions. The lodge was spotless and modern, in a lovely location within the caravan park. Walking distance to the local pub and had lots of things to do within a very short drive. Hosts were very kind and helpful, and kept us up to date with the situation in the area following Storm Arwen. Couldnt recommend any more – it was better than we could have imagined!

Location was Great
Check in and check out was easy. Access to cabin was easy too. Everything was there that we required for a few nights stay away. Location was great, and views lovely. Small shop round the corner to buy bits and pieces for the cabin. Would definitely come back.

Fabulous Place
What a fabulous place to get away for the weekend. Wish I could’ve stayed longer. From the start of the booking process to checking out – was faultless. The lodge is situated right near the river which was lovely to see. Everything is catered for within this gorgeous self catering lodge, it’s spotless & guidance on how to work things are easily to hand. Steve also very kindly supplied a travel cot & high chair for my grand daughter. The lodge itself is perfect for 4 people & the log fire was a delightful treat to coorie in as the weather wasn’t very kind to us. Lovely walk up to Blair Castle with fish n chips to take back & The Loft on site is a must to visit. Our meal was amazing! Oh There are games and dvds as well which was a Lovely touch. I will definitely be returning.

What a Find
Set in an amazing location just yards from the River Tilt and just a short drive into Pitlochry Town. Steve’s cabin is great. Very homely and well equipped. My wife, son and I found it the perfect setting for a short winter break, giving us the chance to explore Loch Ness, The Cairngorms, Avimore and we even found the James Bond Skyfall Road, in Glencoe. I’d thoroughly recommend this cabin and we’d love to come back again.

Beautiful cabin in amazing location! Stayed for the weekend with three friends and we couldn’t recommend it enough for a few nights away. The cabin was spotless and had everything we needed.

Terrific Lodge in a Great Location
Located within the Moorings, at the River Tilt Park, Chestnut Lodge is a terrific base to explore Perthshire and beyond. Chestnut Lodge is very modern, has all the facilities required and is cleaned to a high standard. Hand sanitisers are located at the entrance to the Lodge and throughout the park. The on site restaurant “The Loft” is worth a visit.

Had a Fantastic Weekend
Had a fantastic weekend here. A lovely chalet in a fab location. Very clean, comfortable and stylish accommodation. I would thoroughly recommend a visit. Nearby Golf club and atholl arms hotel both now opened up for outdoor drinks and food (and indoor food and non alcoholic drink) with marquees and patio heaters to see off the chilly temperatures! The loft restaurant at entrance to park is also open but didn’t get a chance to try this.

Perfect Relaxing Retreat
We stayed here for 3 nights and wish it had been for longer! The lodge is perfect both in terms of amenities and location which is idyllic and exceeded our expectations. It was wonderful to wake up on a morning and sit in front of the wood burning stove with a cuppa watching all the birds and red squirrels outside. We went on lots of walks in the surrounding area including along the river and also up to the grounds of Blair Atholl Castle. We also ate at the Loft restaurant which we would thoroughly recommend. All in all this was a perfect break and we are so glad to have discovered this lodge. It was just what we needed after all the stresses of this year so far. We will definitely be back!

Cracking lodge in a perfect spot
The park is situated less than 15mins walk from Blair Athol train station and the lodge itself is 5mins from reception. It was fully kitted out with everything we could have possibly needed. Plenty sockets for my 2 boys’ tablets/switch/mobile chargers 🙂 and free wifi – which makes or breaks a holiday for an 8 and 10yr old!! The wood burning gas fire was such a treat and made it so cosy. It was spotless and really couldn’t fault anything. We would absolutely return.

Terrific Lodge in a great location
We stayed in the Chestnut Lodge for 5 nights and it was excellent. Starting with basics, everything within the lodge was spotless and had obviously been fully cleaned, which was reassuring. The equipment within the lodge was very modern and to a high standard. This included free Wifi, a Sonos sound system, a decent collection of DVD’s and many board games. More natural entertainment was provided by the range of birds which visited the decking area along with the regular red squirrel. The lodge is located in a very quiet area, so is ideal if you are looking for a nice relaxing getaway.

Fantastic cabin and a beautiful site
A fantastic cabin and a beautiful site. All of the communication with Steve was excellent particularly around Covid guidelines which reassured us. The cabin itself was in a beautiful setting and was spotless. Lovely touches like the coffee machine and shortbread made us very welcome. We had lovely weather and were able to make use of the large decking area. Gorgeous walks were easily accessible and we particularly loved the Blair Castle grounds. We would highly recommended the takeaway in the park ‘Food to Go’. Had a lovely weekend and hope to be back soon.

Perfect
My partner and I have been talking about getting a wee weekend away for a while and came across chestnut lodge. It’s the perfect little getaway. Warm little cabin with a full kitchen, gas fire, large TV, double bed and twin room. It’s in a beautiful location with the river tilt running along side. There is a wonderful restaurant called “The Loft” situated within the park grounds with a great selection of food and wines. Pitlochry centre is also a short drive from the lodge with plenty cafes and restaurants. I’m sure we will be back!
