Experience the Extraordinary
in Scotland

Hidden within the scenic Perthshire countryside, just outside Dunblane, Craighead Howfs offers a collection of unique stays surrounded by nature. Additionally, each retreat has been designed for guests looking to slow down, switch off, and unwind. From handcrafted adult-only glamping howfs to the beautifully restored Muckle Howf family holiday cottage, every stay has its own character and atmosphere. Each one offers an unforgettable setting.

Meanwhile, whether you’re looking for luxury adult-only glamping in Scotland, a peaceful countryside retreat, or a relaxing family escape in the Muckle Howf, Craighead Howfs offers a stay far removed from busy everyday life. Surrounded by rolling countryside, wildlife, and friendly farm animals including Highland cows, alpacas, Valais Blacknose sheep, pygmy goats, and even emus, this is a place where peaceful surroundings and memorable experiences come together naturally.

Unique Stays
for Every Kind of Escape

Each of our howfs has been individually crafted using natural materials including stone and timber. As a result, they blend beautifully into the surrounding landscape while providing comfort, character, and a genuine connection to nature.

From cosy treehouse glamping experiences nestled amongst the trees to peaceful Hobbit-inspired hillside hideaways, every accommodation has its own distinctive style and atmosphere. Round doors, grass-covered roofs, and handcrafted details help make each stay unique. Meanwhile, the spacious Muckle Howf holiday cottage provides a welcoming countryside base for families and friends throughout the year.

Designed for Rest and Relaxation

All six glamping howfs are exclusively for adults and designed for guests seeking privacy, tranquillity, and time to slow down. Whether you’re drawn to a peaceful retreat beside the lochan or a unique hillside hideaway, you’ll discover an unforgettable stay surrounded by the beauty of the Perthshire countryside.
