Tucked away in the Old St Fillans railway station, caledonian lodges, Perth and Kinross, is this contemporary two-bedroom lodge, Red Kite Lodge. Enjoying a superb location within the Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park and magnificent views overlooking the picturesque mountains surrounding Loch Earn, Red Kite Lodge is a fantastic dog-friendly dwelling for couples or a family of four, plus their canine companion, embarking on their next adventure to Scotland. Leave your vehicle in one of two off-road parking spaces, before unloading your bags and making your way into your new home from home. Step into the stylish open-plan living space, featuring a grey palette with accents of ochre, where you can look forward to relaxing on the plush sofas in front of your favourite show on the Smart TV with Sky. Whip up delicious meals in the well-equipped kitchen, with handy dishwasher and washing machine, ready to enjoy at the dining table for four as you recount the day's adventures. If the weather is nice, make dinner an alfresco affair and dine out on your very own private decking which overlooks the mountains surrounding Loch Earn, a truly spectacular dining setting. After dinner, why not spend an evening amongst the bubbles in the hot tub as you soak up your breath-taking surroundings? As the evening grows darker, wash away the day with a refreshing shower, before choosing from one of two-well appointed bedrooms to catch your rest in, a king-size with en-suite shower room and a twin, both with plenty of storage for your belongings. Explore your local surroundings, where there is plenty to keep you occupied right on your doorstep, from a wealth of watersports available on Loch Earn, including paddleboarding, kayaking, water-skiing and wakeboarding, or if that isn’t your thing, head to the excellent nine-hole St Fillan’s Golf Club to test out your swing. After a day of exploring the surrounding mountains and National Park, treat your loved ones to a meal at the welcoming eateries of The Four Seasons Hotel & Achray House. Keen walkers have access to some of the best walks and hikes in the area, including the imposing Ben Vorlich which offers panoramic views at its top. Those seeking adventure can venture further into the park to climb the wide variety of peaks, stroll or cycle through the exceptional surroundings or take to the waters of the many lochs which pepper the park. Take the short drive over to Cormie, where you will find the Auchingarrich Wildlife Centre and Comrie Golf Club. Continue on to Crieff, where you can picnic in MacRosty Park, peruse the art at The Strathearn Gallery or tour and sample the local delights at the 18th-century Glenturret Distillery, For a taste of city life, head to Perth, home to The Black Watch Castle & Museum, Pert Museum & Art Gallery and Kinnoull Hill Woodland Park. All this and more awaits with a stay at Red Kite Lodge.
At the eastern extremity of Loch Earn, halfway between Ardrostan and Comrie, rests the lovely lakeside conservation community of St Fillans.

The village also offers a modest number of attractions, such as Active Skydiving, canoeing and boating on the loch, the St Fillans Monster, and the St Fillans Golf Club. The Loch Earn Brewery & Hotel, Achray House, and Seasons View all offer dining options, and the village shop is a convenient place to get groceries.

The accommodation was everything it was stated and extremely comfortable. Alan provided all information and we only had to contact him regarding the whereabouts the fireplace remote control. We were very fortunate with the weather and every night was star watching in the hot tub. lovely walks all around and a meal to die for in the Achray House. Not really sure whats going on with the Four Seasons!!!!.... Absolute pleasure to stay here...

Very modern interior and comfortable for a family of four. Kitchen was well supplied with all the amenities, making all the more convenient. Jacuzzi was a fab in the evenings with a stunning view across the valley. Great location for short hikes or a trips day trips in car to nearby beauty spots and villages such as Killin. Will hopefully return next year:)

What it is, is a really well specced static/mobile home. Comfortable beds, excellent living area, well stocked kitchen (we didnât use the washing machine, but good to know it was there), excellent hot tub and to top it all an amazing view. St Fillans is really well placed to access numerous local towns where thereâs activities for everyone. We did paddle boarding on the loch, walked two different well developed cycle/walking tracks that have been developed from disused rail lines. Being dog friendly was icing on the cake. We stayed for a week and had a really relaxing time. Would highly recommend.
