Location
About the surrounding area of Hilltop LodgeHilltop Estate is nestled on an elevated site, overlooking the town of Aberfeldy, Perthshire, set on the east coast of Scotland, alongside the sweeping River Tay.
The town of Aberfeldy is conveniently located just 600m from Hilltop Lodge. Aberfeldy was first made famous by Robert Burns, Scotland’s national poet (who famously wrote about the Birks of Aberfeldy); today Aberfeldy is Scotland’s first fair-trade town - retailers and businesses do their best locally to promote fair-trade, organic and environmentally friendly products. Aberfeldy itself is a bustling town with an array of coffee shops, a smattering of renowned restaurants, the Watermill bookshop (a bookshop, gallery and cafe housed in a listed former watermill) and vibrant local life. Today, visitors can walk through the footpath noted in Burn’s poem for two miles up to the Falls of Moness, where the path ends in spectacular views.
There is plenty to see, do and explore in the surrounding area. Loch Tay is the largest loch in Perthshire, framed by majestic mountains and hillside farms and cottages. Sailors and water sports enthusiasts flock to this area; canyoning and white water rafting are popular! Dewar’s Aberfeldy Distillery is worth a visit; guests can discover the Dewar family’s pursuit of Scotch whiskey perfection in the distillery they built in 1898. The nearby Glen Lyon is one of Scotland’s longest and loveliest glens, whilst abseiling, gorge walking and mountain biking are all on offer locally for outdoors enthusiasts. On request and for an additional charge, a host of outdoor activities can be arranged for guests – guided walks, fishing, Highland Safari, white water rafting, canyoning and kids outdoor adventures. Please just ask our concierge team for details.
For those travelling in from further afield, Hilltop Lodge is just a 90 minute drive from both Edinburgh and Glasgow airports.

A lovely Christmas
We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Hilltop Lodge over Christmas. While the initial contact was wonderfully courteous and helpful, the actual lodge went above and beyond expectations. With four en suite bedrooms, it is extremely comfortable and practical for a large group and designed beautifully with luxury furnishings and everything to hand that our group needed, including a lovely fireplace. While we were able to do a lot of hikes and walks nearby, we really hope we will back to enjoy the house and the town in the summer. It’s an incredible home and lovely spot to enjoy with friends and family.
