Otter’s Holt

Otter’s Holt is an exceptional lodge in Killin, Stirling, set above the River Lochay with off-road parking, a private hot tub, and striking riverside views.

Shaped in a remarkable circular design and partially tucked into the bank, this single-storey retreat offers a distinctive Scottish stay for families or friends looking to spend time together in memorable surroundings.

From the moment you arrive, the lodge’s timber cladding, grass roof, and sweeping panes of glass set the scene for a holiday framed by water, light, and landscape.

Step inside, and the open-plan living space draws everything together.

Floor-to-ceiling windows keep the river in view, while the sitting area, dining space, and kitchen are arranged for long breakfasts, slow evenings, and easy conversation after a day out.

Limestone flagstones run through the main living areas, with underfloor heating adding warmth beneath your feet, while the kitchen is equipped for everything from quick suppers to hearty post-walk meals.

When the day turns to evening, the decking becomes the natural place to gather, whether that means stretching out with a drink in hand or slipping into the hot tub as the light changes over the water.

The two bedrooms are thoughtfully arranged for flexible stays, with one king-size and one twin, each with its own en-suite, giving everyone their own space at the start and end of the day.

Beyond the lodge, Killin places handy shops, bars, restaurants, and Killin Golf Club within easy reach, making it simple to shape your days as you please.

The shores of Loch Tay bring wider Highland scenery into the picture, inviting lochside wanders and time spent admiring the changing colours across the water and mountains.

Closer still, the River Lochay gives Otter’s Holt its unforgettable setting, with the chance to sit out on the decking and watch the river move below.

However you spend your time, Otter’s Holt is a striking base for a Highland escape.
