Description
Red Kite Lodge is a stylish two-bedroom lodge set within the historic Old St Fillans railway station at Caledonian Lodges, Perth and Kinross.
Positioned within the stunning surroundings of Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park, and offering sweeping views of the mountains around Loch Earn, this dog-friendly retreat is ideal for couples or families of four seeking a scenic escape in Scotland.
Upon arrival, guests can make use of two off-road parking spaces before stepping into a thoughtfully designed open-plan living space.
Decorated in calming greys with warm ochre accents, the interior includes a well-equipped kitchen with a dishwasher and washing machine, a dining area for four, a sitting area with plush seating, a Smart TV with Sky, and an electric flame-effect fire.
Whether preparing meals or enjoying a film, the space is designed for shared moments.
Step outside onto the private decking to dine alfresco while taking in the mountain views.
After dinner, the hot tub offers a chance to unwind under the open sky.
When evening falls, choose between a twin room or a king-size bedroom with its own en-suite shower room.
A separate shower room is also available for added convenience.
The surrounding area offers a wealth of activities.
Loch Earn is just a short walk away, where visitors can enjoy paddleboarding, kayaking, water-skiing, and wakeboarding.
Golfers can test their skills at the nearby St Fillans Golf Club, a popular 9-hole course with a restaurant.
For walkers, the area offers excellent trails, including the rewarding climb up Ben Vorlich, known for its panoramic views.
Local dining options include The Four Seasons Hotel and Achray House, both within walking distance.
Families can take a short drive to Comrie to visit Auchingarrich Wildlife Centre and Comrie Golf Club or continue to Crieff to explore MacRosty Park, The Strathearn Gallery, and the historic Glenturret Distillery.
For a city day out, Perth offers attractions such as The Black Watch Castle & Museum, Perth Museum & Art Gallery, and Kinnoull Hill Woodland Park.

What guests are saying
We came here for my partner and my 8 year anniversary, we wanted away from Glasgow !
we wanted in the Country with the wildlife as much as possible as I miss it, the weather had a storm but I think it made it even more perfect it was so cosy and warm and we was in the hot tub all the time im half mermaid now,
Absolutely beautiful lodge with everything you could need stunning views beautiful walks nearby and very attentative hosts.
We will definitely be back. Thank you for a wonderful holiday Jim & Mo
Thank you for your very positive feedback, James. We are so glad you enjoyed your visit and we hope to see you return in the near future. Best wishes Debra and Alan
We had an amazing couple of nights in the lodge for my wife’s 50th.
From start hosts were excellent & in engage when I had some queries. On request, they also add some lovely decorations for my wife’s birthday. Lode was perfect & views from hot tub were stunning
Thanks Graham, it was a pleasure having you stay and we are glad things went well for your wife's special birthday. Best regards, Debra and Alan
Absolutely beautiful location, lovely, clean and well equipped lodge with a stunning view - I miss this the most!
Very peaceful location with lots of walks around the place (The St Fillans Viewpoint walk, walk to Dalchonzie or Loch Earn) we had a fantastic week here and would highly recommend this place, if we plan to visit St Fillans again, I would book Red Kite again! Thank you!
Hi Beata, what a wonderful review. The view is rather spectacular isn’t it? Thank you for being considerate guests. You’re welcome back anytime
Lovely well kept lodge!
Everything you need for a weeks stay. Only thing that would have made the whole thing better would be the hot tub having a little more privacy from other lodges especially ones with security cameras.
Hi Darryl thank you for your kind review. We checked our neighbours security camera as I was also concerned regarding privacy. Our neighbours sent us their camera view and it simply shows their decking only. We are also lucky as both lodges next door are rarely occupied.
Absolutely fabulous the only fault was with the gate requiring attention the lodge was fantastic spotless hot tub was amazing we will be back in September hopefully once again the place is fantastic thank you
What an absolutely brilliant holiday.
The location, comfort and facilities at the lodge were outstanding. The only thing that didn’t help was the weather which is no fault of the owner
We had a brilliant stay at Red Kite Lodge.
The lodge itself was really well maintained and clean, with everything we needed for a family of 4 and 2 dogs. The hot tub was a winner and we used it every evening, with the views of the mountains very scenic. It was a brilliant location for Watersports on the loch and we enjoyed padel boarding and ringos. We also enjoyed a hike up Ben Vorlich and the spectacular views from the top.
Hi Anne, thank you for the very positive feedback. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay and would certainly look forward to a return visit. Very best wishes, Debra and Alan
The place was well kept and everything was amazing.
Alan was very informative and communicative. We had great time with family and our puppy.
Thank you for your feedback. We’re delighted your family and puppy had a great time.
Had the most amazing time in red kite lodge.
Situated with beautiful views of the mountains. Nice quiet relaxing spot. Very comfortable and cosy. Everything you need is here. Loved the hot tub aswell. Would definitely recommend coming here.
Dear Shirley, thank you for your very positive feedback. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay and we very much hope that you will come back again sometime. Best wishes, Debra and Alan
We had a lovely short break.
The Lodge was beautiful in a gorgeous setting....beds comfy,the heating very good & the hottub was very welcome after long walks.It was lovely gazing at the snowy mountains & later the stars.Kitchen was well equipped & clean.We had fun looking for wildlife.....a muddy trek up Ben Vorlick as the snow was melting.I was pleased to see a mountain hare! We had a couple of minor problems which were quickly sorted out by Alan & Debbie.Communication was excellent & we,d definitely stay here again.
Dear Donna, thank you so much for your very positive feedback. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay and we do hope that you will return some time in the future. Very best wishes, Debra and Alan
Vi følte os meget velkomne, især med de lækre sager du havde sat til os.
Vi satte pris på at Spa badet var opvarmet da vi ankom. Dejligt hus med central beliggenhed for vores ferie. Hvis vi skal kritisere noget, var emhætten og bageplade snavsede, så vi undgik anvendelse de første dage. Overordnet er vi meget tilfredse og ville gerne komme igen.
Tak for din anmeldelse. Vi beklager, at bagepladen var beskidt. Vi kontakter den person, der har gjort rent. Vi er glade for, at du nød dit ophold, og vi vil meget gerne have dig på besøg igen. I hope this translates well
Great location, what a view!
Good amenities in the well kept and clean static caravan. Good communication from owners.
Such a lovely well equipped cottage.
Spotlessly clean and owner Alan on hand to offer advice on the area. Super impressed with the site it's self. Very quiet and my young kids were safe to adventure and use their bikes without us having to worry. This lead us to have a relaxing time. The hot tub was a bonus and with the Red Kites flying over the cottage in the mornings it really was magical. Highly recommend.
Hi Joe, thanks so much for your very kind comments. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay and we would happily see you return any time in the future. Very best wishes, Alan and Debra
Such lovely place.
Caring owners! Amazing views and calming location.. we had sheep visitors! I really enjoyed my stay, had everything I needed. So little walk to lake or village shop, where they stop serving food at 3pm and close at 4pm, bigger supermarkets 20 min drive. Nice playground for children. Strong good showers Lovely hot tub Everything was working well! Cozy lounge and comfy sofas, lovely fire place to watch in the evenings! Bonus Netflix and other apps to watch on tv! Only minor down for me was, storage spaces/ shelves had extra things, especially Christmas decorations. Or something big under main bed.. I couldn’t fit my suitcase there. Or fully use the shelves for my clothes in walking wardrobe. Would have been amazing if that walk in wardrobe was empty, as to have one in the house is every ladies dream, I don’t have one, and such a shame I couldn’t enjoy it at my stay. And apart that I really enjoyed everything and would definitely come back again!! Thank you Alan and Debra
Dear Daiva, thank you so much for your generous feedback. We take on board fully your comments about storage space. We have already made some adjustments based on this and will be moving out some things that are not necessary for guests, particularly when they are staying for 2 weeks. We certainly hope you will come back again though I can't guarantee 20c every Spring! Best wishes Alan and Debra
I'd like to express my family's heartfelt compliments following our recent stay at Red Kite Lodge.
My husband, daughter, and I were graced with a delightful week; the lodge itself truly enhanced our trip. Upon arrival, we noted that the lodge was commendably clean and well-maintained, an indicator of the care and diligence that your team exercises. The heating was excellent, furnishing us with cosy evenings in, while the hot tub provided a luxurious and welcomed bonus. Further praise is due to the owner, who exhibited an excellent level of approachability and responsiveness to our queries. It is outstanding to encounter such dedication and swift communication in the hospitality industry. In light of our overall experience, we feel impelled to recommend your establishment enthusiastically to others. Your commitment to quality service is duly appreciated, and we trust others will recognise this too. Thank you once again for providing us with a memorable stay.
Dear Liezel, thank you so much for your very positive feedback. We wish we could give feedback on guests - you would be 100%! We will be delighted to see you back. Very best regards Debra and Alan
We stayed here for a long weekend at the end of August.
Thankfully had some lovely weather only raining badly on the morning we left. Alan was excellent at looking after us before we arrived and during the stay, always ready to answer with advice and info. Of all the lodges on the site, this one has the best view, it is perfectly situated. It has everything you need and is well presented with the hot tub a bonus. We all really enjoyed our stay including our springer spaniel Max who loved sitting out on the decking soaking up the view, as well as the plentiful walks in the area. Would recommend this 100% to anyone looking for a lovely relaxing holiday.
Thank you for the review Darren. We spent a while pondering about which plot had the best view. I’m delighted you agree with us
Had a fantastic week here celebrating my birthday.
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...
Thank you for the great review Peter. It’s such a fabulous dark sky site isn’t it? You were great guests and left the lodge so very clean and tidy. You’re welcome back anytime
We had a fantastic Monday to Friday stay in the lodge.
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:)
Thank you so much for your review Che. You’re welcome back anytime
Red Kite Lodge is obviously not a lodge in most people’s sense.
What it is, is a really well specced static/mobile home. Comfortable beds, excellent living area, well stocked kitchen (we didn’t 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 there’s 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.
Thanks for the great feedback Andrew. The view is rather spectacular isn’t it? You’re welcome back anytime
The lodges was very comfortable great place to rest, beautiful landscape, silence that you can enjoy, we are very happy with the stay in lodges.
We recommend this place is wonderful
Thank you Beata. I’m delighted you enjoyed your stay. You marked us down on cleanliness? I would be grateful if you could tell us why as we really strive to give our guests the best
This is the second time we have stayed at Red Kite Lodge.
Lovely and relaxing, provided with everything needed for a great stay. Spectacular views from the hot tub and decking. Such a relaxing location. Brilliant location central to lots of great places to visit. Alan and Debra are on hand if you need anything, super helpful. Izzy the dog loved it too. We look forward to staying again.
You’re welcome back anytime Wendy! Perfect guests
The caravan was beautiful and superbly kitted out, with lots of extras you would not expect like games, DVD's & binoculars to look at the fantastic views.
The hot tub was excellent and positioned so the views could be enjoyed whilst in it. There was a minor issue with the hot water on our final day but it did not ruin what was a fantastic break. The only negative was the spotty phone signal, but the WiFi was excellent. I would recommend the Red Kite lodge if you want a peaceful, relaxed getaway in comfort.
Thank you for your great review Frank. I had to get binoculars as the wildlife and night sky views are amazing. The mobile phone signal is a problem but you can easily use WhatsApp and Facebook to make audio/FaceTime calls through the Wi-Fi at the lodge. Apparently the only decent network for the village so far is EE. Thank you for leaving the lodge so clean and tidy. Haste ye back
This lodge was exceptionally well prepared and well equipped, dishes, cutlery, games, maps, books, shampoos, sky tv etc.
Also Alan’s information was excellent and very informative with various tips etc.
Thank you so much for a great review Douglas. When we set the lodge up we thought about what we always found helpful on our many self catering holidays, so it’s heartening to get this recognised. Haste ye back
I noticed that the steps into the gate as wee cracked round the edges.
Overall the living space is fab . We saw a pine Martin outside the lodge heading towards the railway station .
I’m delighted you found the living space fab. The wildlife around Red Kite lodge is wonderful.
Very comfortable and well equipped lodge with absolutely stunning views.
We made good use of the hot tub every day to my young daughter’s delight: “this is the life!”. Friendly and responsive owners who gave us excellent tips. Short walk from the village shop which has great coffee and soup, and a play park nearby. Saw red squirrels, deer and a hare. Building work is ongoing as noted in the listing but we weren’t particularly bothered by noise. So much to do nearby, would love to come back and explore further!
Thank you for the wonderful feedback Sarah. I’m so happy we got to meet you and your beautiful daughter.
We absolutely loved our stay and would definitely recommend and will definitely be returning , the view from the lodge is amazing and the area is very relaxing and peaceful but also with lots to do
You were excellent guests Lisa. I look forward to your return visit
Fantastic lodge,modern very clean,very well equipped.
stunning veiws,spa was perfect
Thank you Elliot. The views are incredible!
This was our second stay at Red Kite Lodge and as before it didn’t disappoint.
Perfect place to relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery yet plenty of walks locally to suit all abilities. Our daughter and teenage granddaughter joined us this visit and they loved it too. From relaxing in the hot tub to a strenuous hilly walk and strolling alongside Loch Earn I highly recommend Red Kite Lodge it really has all you’ll need and is a home from home.
Hi Steven, so glad you enjoyed your second break with us. Haste ye back
A lovely relaxing week at the lodge.
Lodge was well equipped and was great to relax in the hot tub after the days adventures, with the lovely surroundings. Owners were friendly and in touch to welcome and with suggestions aswell as being on hand if there were issues. Building work still ongoing, however didn’t bother us or the fact that a lot of cabins were unoccupied as it made for a nice quiet break.
I’m glad you enjoyed your stay Ray. You marked us down on facilities and accuracy of the listing and I’m wondering what I have missing from the lodge or the listing on Sykes? Could you drop us a text with suggestions please?
This is our second visit.
Accommodation is immaculate and views are stunning. The owners made us feel very welcome with some nice goodies in a welcome pack.
Hi Sarah were so glad you enjoyed your second break with us.
Had a lovely week at Red Kite Lodge.
The kitchen is very well equipped and the lodge is very modern. The double bedroom is a great size. The decking has a gate so dog can wander freely, which is superb. The hot tub is lovely with stunning views, very peaceful. We were visited by deer a couple of evenings. The site itself is still under construction, but once in the lodge you forget about that and the decking faces stunning views. Will book again in the future.
Thanks for the review Wendy. I’m glad you enjoyed the view, it really is special
Lovely property, well stocked, beautiful location, the only thing that let's it down is first impression, the side we stayed at looked like a building site but once u get pasted that the area is fantastic
Hi Stuart, thanks for your comments on the lodge. We noted the fact that the lodge park is a work in progress, in our description and that once you’re in the lodge you can’t see any of the other lodges being built. We are in constant contact with the site owners who do strive to keep the building work to a minimum and no work at all is done on weekends. I’m glad this didn’t spoil your holiday.
We had a fantastic stay at red kite lodge and will be back, everything we needed , relaxing and modern lodge , was a slight issue with shower but owners on other end of phone to help sort it out!
Beautiful
Hi Louise we are delighted you had a great stay. Apologies about the shower and thanks for getting in touch with us so we could sort it for you. Haste ye back!
Was pleasantly surprised on just how clean and modern it was.
.all essentials were present ie tea coffee sugar..and all other condiments as sometimes we all know we forget the small things..bed was so comfy..as were the sofas.all very modern felt right at home..and the views were breath taking..had some deer visiting us on our last nite..was an amazing stay and be glad to book it all over again..thanks again Alan
Thank you Andrew, what great feedback. I’m so glad you had a great stay with added wildlife.
Excellent accommodation, it really is home from home with everything you could possibly need to enjoy your stay - thank you!
Thank you the positive feedback Steven
Thought it was lovely.
We really enjoyed the holiday, beautiful views and an easy walk to the Loch. Although we took loads kitchen stuff there was everything you needed so well stocked!
Thank you for the feedback Ann. I’ve been on so many self catering holidays myself where there just wasn’t enough utensils or equipment to make a decent family meal so I decided to stock our lodge accordingly and feedback like this makes my effort worthwhile. I hope you return
Good location for walks,sightseeing, spectacular views from lodge, very rural so very quiet.
Very clean and comfortable lodge with fantastic hot tub. A wide range of good quality utensils. Cannot fault what the owners have provided within the lodge.
Thank you for the lovely feedback
Our first time renting a lodge and it was perfect.
We read reviews that the site was under development, but so what, that wasn't a problem for us. The Location is stunning and we enjoyed walking the dog to the Loch every morning and taking in the tranquility. The surrounding wildlife was amazing, we were so excited to see red squirrels in their natural habitat. The lodge itself was very well equipped and comfortable. We couldn't have asked for better getaway.
Thank you for the lovely feedback Eleanor. I’m delighted your first booking of a lodge went well.
Lovely place with everything you need and very comfortable
Thank you for the feedback.
We loved our stay .
Very peaceful , warm and cosy . Facilities were excellent and such a beautiful location . Autumn here is stunning and we will hopefully be back to experience spring ! 10/10 recommend
Dear Kate, Thank you for your very positive feedback. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay and we do hope that you will return in Spring. Best wishes, Debra and Alan
Lovely location with beautiful views, lodge clean and comfortable,
Thank you Anthony, I’m delighted you enjoyed your stay
Property was very clean and well kitted out.
The owner Alan couldn’t have been more helpful when we asked questions!
Thank you Lisa
Very good property and owners were great
Thanks Joe, it was great to be able to meet you and your lovely family
The area Crieff and the actual cabin were very nice, well equipped and the owner was very helpful and couldn’t do enough for us.
However we were disappointed to find the plot was still a building site with only our cabin occupied. Although this may have worked in our favour as the cabin next to us was very close (especially if you wanted to relax in the hot tub without being over looked). Unfortunately we could only use the hot tub once, as it was slightly off colour with a funny smell. We did follow the instructions on two occasions to add the chemicals but it didn’t seem to clear up. The oven and dishwasher tripped whilst we were there and again no fault of the owner as we believe it may have been linked to the ongoing work on site. The owner couldn’t have done more to help and was in contact with the site manager throughout to get the problem sorted. I feel the property has good potential but we were a little disappointed with the ongoing work and the hot tub.
Dear Kelly, We do appreciate your feedback and we were aware of the issues related to the electrical supply. We are sorry you experienced problems with the hot tub. Had we known we would have taken immediate measures to resolve this in person. As you note, the site is still under development ; we are sorry this detracted from your enjoyment but we do hope you will visit again once the site has been fully completed. Best regards Alan and Debra
The House and area was perfect for our little family and we will be happy to return in the future!
Thank you for being great guests. We are so happy you enjoyed your stay
Hello .
..our visit to the lodge was brilliant. It was clean, modern and in a lovely setting..the view was fantastic..the hotub was perfect..the surrounding areas were brilliant for walks along the beautiful countryside...it was a very relaxing week away.we went to loch earn for the watersports..so we will be back again.thanks.
Hi Stuart I’m so happy we could be a great base for your holiday. We love that our lodge gets to be a part of your memories
Could not fault the property itself but i think the site is not ready for paying guests as still looks like a building site.
Also we has two small dogs and one of them jumped of the side of the decking at the hot tub as nothing to stop them they needed chained up all the time. Lodge great. Views great. Site was building site
Hi Thomas thanks for your feedback. We’re happy that you found the lodge faultless and we do agree that the views are rather special. We’re sorry about the ongoing site development; this phase of the park was meant to be finished by now. The ‘building’ work relates to decking and servicing for recently delivered lodges and there should be no work ongoing in the evening. The site owners know of our frustration and would be happy for anyone to speak to them about any issues. We are supplying them with feedback. We have tried to ensure our Sykes description is accurate though we are in fact advertising our lodge rather than the park. We appreciate that you want be able to relax on the decking with the dogs beside you. The gap at the decking allows direct access to the hot tub which most guests find desirable. However we will look for some solutions.
Red Kite Lodge was even better than I expected, only slight downside was the building work going on through the day but didn't stop us having the best time.
Will definitely be back
Leanne, thank you for being perfect guests. You left the lodge so clean and tidy, we hardly noticed you had been. I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay. We are going to contact Sykes to flag up the site development on their website.
Had a wonderful time at lodge.
It is extremely well kitted out and very comfortable. View from decking and hot tub are great and an ideal way to relax after days walking. The lodge is part of a larger site and there is ongoing works to fit out other lodges which we were not aware of until we arrived. The work did not interfere with our holiday or enjoyment at all however I feel it should be mentioned at time of our booking.
You’re right Caroline and I was assured by Sykes it would be mentioned. The site was meant to be finished early this year but due to supply chain issues there has been several setbacks. Thanks for flagging this up and I’m glad you enjoyed the views
Had a fantastic break at the lodge .
Excellent condition and spotlessly clean . Wonderful views aided by the binoculars provide . Both Allan and Charles very helpful when required . Great to relax in the hut tub surrounded by the views. Will definitely be returning in the near future .
Thank you Paul, we are delighted that you enjoyed your stay at our lodge. The views are incredible aren’t they? You were perfect guests.
