Firbush Lodge
Description
Tucked on the outskirts of Killin, Perthshire, is this fantastic three-bedroom Scandinavian Lodge, Firbush Lodge.
Enjoying a wonderful location on the shores of Loch Tay, with Ben Lawers forming a majestic backdrop to the site, this lodge benefits from two off-road parking spaces, a lovely safe front decked area complete with furniture for you to relax and enjoy the commanding views.
It’s an ideal place to sit and watch the wildlife, with the possibility of spotting the resident Red Squirrel as he visits from the adjacent woodland.
The open-plan living space with its wood panelling and plush couches, fully-equipped kitchen, and large rustic dining table, provide the perfect setting to prepare and enjoy meals as you reflect on your day’s adventures.
After your meal take a lovely stroll down to the harbour or end the day with drinks whilst playing a fun board game.
The all-electric heating and water system provides ample hot water for the well-appointed bathroom, there are also sumptuous beds where you can drift off to sleep before the next day’s plans begin.
Nearby, you will find the welcoming Boathouse Kitchen and Bar with its soothing open fire and delicious menu for when you decide on a night off from cooking.
There is also, ‘In Your Element’, an outdoor activity organiser providing some unusual experiences such as axe throwing, gorge walking, river tubing as well as segway and canoe tours.
Please note: Seasonal opening and times may change.
For your local amenities, head into the village of Killin, where you’ll find a well-stocked Co-op for all your essentials.
Killin Golf Club is often described as having the most beautiful 9-hole golf course in Scotland, where you can book and pay for your round with the Scottish golf App.
Visit the fascinating Moirlanich Longhouse and dine at the Falls of Dochart Inn which overlook the river rapids.
This traditional building was an old blacksmith dating from the 1700’s, a charming stone building retaining many original features.
There are wonderful walking and cycling routes around Loch Tay, including the Ben Lawyers Nature Reserve and Ben Lawers itself, which is the highest peak of the ‘Ben Lawers Group’, a ridge that includes six other Munros: Beinn Ghlas, Meall Garbh, Meall Corranaich, An Stuc, Meall Greigh and Meall a Choire Leith.
As well as the cycling routes around Loch Tay the local Highland Safaris Team provide ‘Drop at the top and mountain bike hire’ which is a great way to capture stunning scenery without the effort of the uphill climb!
Next stop is Aberfeldy, where you will find The Birks of Aberfeldy, a short walk which was popularised in a song by Robert Burns in 1787, the Black Watch Memorial and Castle Menzies which was the seat of the Chiefs of the Clan Menzies for over 500 years and is now a Charitable Trust Visitor Centre and Museum.
Dewar’s Aberfeldy Distillery offers pre-booked tours and experiences.
Its mighty copper stills can be seen from the main road.
Further afield, you’ll find Pitlochry, home to the Pitlochry and Moulin Heritage Centre, Atholl Palace Museum, and the Pitlochry Dam Visitor Centre.
Also, the nearby Faskally Wood which hosts the Magical Night Time Light Show ‘The Enchanted Forest’ during the months of September-October, it’s definitely worth a visit.
Embark on your adventure to Scotland with a memorable stay at Firbush Lodge.

What guests are saying
The Lodge was perfectly placed over looking the Loch, so nice to wake up to gorgeous views and tranquil surroundings.
The Lodge was very homely and welcoming, with plenty of natural light from the large windows. Kitchen was fully fitted out for any meal needs and for cleaning, dishwasher and washing machine make life a little easier. Dining are has decent sized table which will easily seat 6 people. Livingroom space had plenty of comfy couches to lounge on, big tv screen and freesat. Only minor problem is no main light in that area, so hard to read or crochet with just table lamp. Bedrooms cosy and very comfy beds, slept like a log all week. Bathroom with walk in shower and rainfall head was very refreshing, although timed top tank bottom tank water heater system took a while to get used to. Overall a beautifully cared for and decorated lodge with nice homely touches and plenty of space even for 4 adults and a dog. Would highly recommend and will be visiting again
We have just enjoyed our third visit to Firbush.
It's such a cosy, well equipped cabin with a fabulous view of the loch. We enjoyed more time outside on the balcony this visit as the sun shone the whole weekend, so great fun feeding the lovely ducks but unfortunately we did not see Firbush The Squirrel this time. We enjoyed a Sunday roast at the nearby restaurant The Boathouse after doing the boat trip round Loch Tay. A great weekend! Cant wait to return :-)
Hi.
Please don’t make the same mistake as myself that firbush lodge is on the same side as loch Tay as the firbush outdoor centre ! It’s a little confusing as the advert comes up alongside the centre ! My mistake. This lodge is in a holiday park - beautiful views and lovely inside. It was a pity the front deck was not clean ( full of bird / animal poo) so we couldn’t sit outside. Also the outside needs a good clean as full of dust and cobwebs - with a FOR SALE sign up. !!!! Really poor outside in regard to presentation. It was a special birthday for us. So - hugely disappointed to have paid this kind of money for a lodge that looked tired and unkept outside / would have went elsewhere had we seen in advance I have never written a bad review before , but wanted to advise others …..
