Craighead Howfs

A Different Kind of Scottish Escape

Craighead Howfs is a family-run retreat where handcrafted accommodation, peaceful countryside and friendly animals come together to create a truly memorable stay.

From adult-only Hobbit-inspired howfs and treehouse escapes to the beautifully restored Muckle Howf family holiday cottage, every accommodation has its own character. Therefore, whether you are planning a romantic glamping break or a relaxing escape with family and friends, there is something here for a very different kind of Scottish getaway.

However, Craighead is about much more than where you sleep. Highland cattle, alpacas, Valais Blacknose sheep, pygmy goats, emus and other animals are all part of everyday life here. Meanwhile, the gardens, lochan and surrounding countryside give guests plenty of space to slow down, switch off and enjoy the setting.

Above all, it is the combination of unusual accommodation, nature and warm Scottish hospitality that makes Craighead Howfs feel so different.

Unique Stays
for Every Kind of Escape

Each of our howfs has been individually handcrafted using natural materials such as stone and timber. As a result, every one has its own character while sitting naturally within the surrounding landscape.

From treehouse glamping amongst the trees to Hobbit-inspired hillside hideaways with round doors, grass-covered roofs and handcrafted details, each stay offers something genuinely different. Meanwhile, Muckle Howf provides a spacious countryside holiday cottage for families and friends throughout the year.

Designed for Rest and Relaxation

All six glamping howfs are exclusively for adults and designed for guests looking for privacy, tranquillity and time to slow down. Whether you choose a lochside retreat, a treehouse escape or a hillside hideaway, every stay offers a peaceful setting surrounded by nature.

Explore Perthshire
from a Peaceful Private Retreat

Surrounded by nature yet within easy reach of Dunblane and Stirling, Craighead Howfs is a peaceful base for exploring Perthshire and central Scotland. From here, you can also travel further afield to Loch Lomond, the Highlands, Edinburgh and Glasgow.

Slow Down and Reconnect with Nature

Spend your days wandering around the lochan, spotting wildlife and meeting the animals around the smallholding. Alternatively, simply enjoy the fresh country air, peaceful surroundings and wide countryside views.

Here, the pace is slower, the skies are darker and evenings are made for sitting beside the fire beneath the stars.
