Essential Information for Your Stay
Immerse Yourself in Hobbit-Style Glamping in Scotland
Nestled in the heart of Perthshire’s scenic countryside, Bag End at Craighead Howf offers a truly unique Hobbit-style glamping experience. Whether you’re looking for a whimsical escape or a peaceful retreat, this handcrafted burrow provides the perfect balance of comfort and adventure. Surround yourself with rolling landscapes, abundant wildlife, and a tranquil atmosphere that makes this an unforgettable getaway.
Unwind with Enchanting Evening Activities
As the sun sets, step outside and take in the breathtaking views of the Ochils, watching our majestic horses roam the fields. Fire up the BBQ and enjoy a delicious meal al fresco, accompanied by the soothing sounds of nature. Look to the skies for Red Kites soaring overhead, or simply relax as you encounter some of the resident farm animals, including Soay sheep, Swiss Valley Blacknose sheep, Shropshire sheep, rheas, peafowl, turkeys, guinea fowl, hens, ducks, pygmy goats, geese, and our two friendly Highland cows—always happy to pose for a photo!
Explore the Grounds and Surroundings
While Perthshire offers plenty of opportunities for adventure, you don’t need to wander far to embrace the beauty of Craighead Howf. With two acres of private grounds and gardens, there’s ample space to unwind, explore, and reconnect with nature. Whether you prefer a peaceful stroll or simply soaking up the scenery, this idyllic setting is perfect for a slow, relaxing escape.

To make the most of your Hobbit-style glamping experience, we recommend bringing a few essentials. Slippers will keep you cosy inside the burrow, while a torch is handy for navigating after dark.

Most importantly, bring some time to relax and fully immerse yourself in the peaceful atmosphere of this one-of-a-kind retreat.
