HISTORY & AREA: Originally constructed by The Earl of Breadalbane in the mid 1800's as Estate workers' cottages, these architecturally interesting lodges have been rebuilt inside for self catering.

They are situated on the eastern side of the small village of Acharn, close to Loch Tay, in the countryside characterised by hill farms and sporting estates. There are majestic views in all seasons with the tree cover around Ben Lawers foothills providing breathtaking vistas in Spring and particularly, in late October or early November.
