About this property

Larch Cabin provides a rural escape for nature lovers, outdoor enthusiasts or those seeking peace and quiet amongst the stunning Ochil Hills whilst still being conveniently located for Dollar village and Gleneagles.

Self-contained with open-plan living and sleeping space, Larch Cabin has been lovingly restored with sustainability at heart: heated exclusively by wood-burning stove fed with logs from our woodland, powered by renewable electricity and with water solely supplied via a private natural spring. Extensive insulation ensures snug winters and cool summers, however, water bottles and extra blankets are provided for the chilliest of Scottish nights and guests are encouraged to bring their own slippers to cosy in.

The wood-burning stove includes integrated pizza shelf and top oven for cooking jacket potatoes or stews whilst a modern kitchenette with electric ceramic hob and fridge freezer gives the best of both worlds. Complete with a range of full cooking utensils and serving ware including stovetop espresso maker along with complimentary coffee from our local local coffee roaster.

The ensuite bathroom provides a walk-in rainfall shower with water supplied from our own spring while a double-bed with organic cotton sheets creates a perfect resting place after a long day on the hills. All furnishings, complimentary toiletries and cleaning products are eco-friendly and, where possible, locally sourced and British made.

The cabin's private verandah has seating for outdoor dining and offers views across our market vegetable garden, a newly planted heritage orchard to pasture and woodlands beyond: a perfect spot to enjoy the rich wildlife. We are very lucky to have red squirrels, deer and pine martens visiting the woodlands and beavers and otters have now been sighted in the Devon. The valley is full of birdsong including that of the song thrush, woodpecker, bullfinch, lapwing, fire crest, kite and heron to name a few.

The cabin's private garden includes BBQ and firepit. Please kindly note: smoking is not allowed within the cabin or on the premises.

A Little Piece of Scottish Heaven

This stay is a large reason we want to return to Scotland. The cabin was so adorable, cozy and relaxing. It's obvious it is maintained with thoughtfulness and a focus on hospitality. The surrounding areas are filled with beautiful sights and opportunities to explore. Caroline and Andy (hosts) strive to make your stay an amazing experience. They are friendly, very knowledgeable about the area (eating and local activities), and helpful. We would highly recommend this cabin for those who want to get away and enjoy the local Scottish experience.

Lovely

I had such a lovely 2 night stay here. The place had everything i needed for a quiet stay all by myself, with lots of extra touches, yoga mat, whisky and tablet, bluetooth speaker, and a big stack of logs. Plenty of great walks nearby but also no reason to leave. The hosts were friendly and helpful and are close enough for it not to feel isolated, but only pop over to say hello on arrival and then leave you to it. It all feels very thoughtful and low impact so if thats your thing, definitley go here
