Lochmanor Lodge Estate, Dunning

Reviewed by John, Sheila & Fraser Payne from Edinburgh

For anyone wishing to enjoy peace and tranquillity in luxurious accommodation, look no further than these beautifully equipped lodges at Lochmanor Luxury Lodge Estate. Situated in rural Perthshire, the light, spacious, open-plan living with excellent furnishings make for a memorable break. We were treated to some locally handmade chocolates from Auchterarder and a bottle of Prosecco on our arrival, which added to the feeling of indulgence.

Lochmanor is a small estate of privately owned lodges which are available for purchase or rent. It has a three-acre loch which is home to brown trout.

For those with an interest in field sports, the famous Gleneagles Hotel is just a few miles away, where an extensive range of sports are on offer, including fishing, archery, falconry and many types of shooting. The Frandy Fishery and Auchingarrich Trout Fishery are also nearby. Rossie Ochil is a 2,000-acre estate set in the stunning Ochil Hills and offers a tailored shoot complimented by the excellent facilities of their lodge.

The Tullibardine and Glenturret whisky distilleries, Stirling and Glamis castles, Scone Palace and the Blair Drummond Safari Park are all nearby. Set amidst such beautiful scenery and with a host of interesting places to visit within easy reach, a stay at Lochmanor would provide the perfect holiday escape.
