Stylish Lodge On Working Estate, Sleeps 8-12

Thornhill, Stirlingshire

The Lodge is a unique blend of Scots/Nordic architecture and design, apparent from it’s traditional vernacular silhouette, Scots stone and Scandinavian open plan layout, sliding floor to ceiling windows, which allows light to flood in and radiate comfort. The Danish Dinesen Douglas Fir flooring creates a cool warmth and is toasty on the toes with or without the underfloor heating, which is throughout the property.

The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you could possibly need and want, with a range style cooker. Enjoy the fruits of your labour in the large dining room with a log burning fire, it’s the perfect cosy environment to toast the evening and have some fun. If you want someone else to do the cooking look at 'Chef & Shepherd Suppers to offer a private dining experience.

In the Lodge there are 4 bedrooms which sleeps 8-12 (1x Super King/Twin with 2x single sofa beds, 2x Super-King/Twin, 1x dedicated Twin). 2 child/adult mats and a camp bed ideally for a 2 toddlers and 2 cots for infants can be placed in a number of the rooms. The nights are still with just the sound of the owls in the distance. Please go to the accommodation tab for more details about room layouts. There are a further x2 double sofa beds in the dining room.

The Lodge has 2 lounge areas, one on the ground floor and a larger lounge upstairs which can be accessed via 2 staircases.

Step outside onto the patio, which surrounds the Lodge, and enjoy your breakfast al fresco, and say good morning to the wildlife. Afterwards take a stroll down to the loch, through the woods, or wander through the Christmas trees (wellington boots required), go and say hello to the resident sheep or deer that Alick farms. You might even see him with his 6 working sheep dogs Patch, Moss and Ben, Kim, Tess, and Meg. Due to the elevated position of the estate, at the end of every wee walk you will be rewarded with spectacular views of Ben Ledi, Ben Lomond, Ben Venue, Ben Vorlich the Campsie Fells or the Gargunnock hills. The views are truly epic and you forget that you are not far from civilisation but yet feel completely secluded, immersed in nature and tranquillity.

If you fancy going further afield, Callander, the Trossachs and Loch Lomond are all just minutes away on the doorstep, or do some sight seeing in nearby Stirling, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Perth. When you get back, soak away any aches and pains in the hot tub, If you want to have a more rustic meal, venture across the garden and get the wood burning on the bespoke built Pizza Oven and BBQ where there is plenty room for a banquet to be cooked over the flames.

Once the day is over you will be sure to get a sound night sleep in the super comfy beds with sumptuous linens, tried and tested by our guests at the 5 star Woodcroft House and receive high praise. The Lodge together sleeps 11 adults, 2 toddlers and 2 infants.
