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!
