You’ll find wonderful options for hiking direct from the hotel.  The Falls of Bruar, Glen Tilt and Blair Castle are the closest options on foot.  If you’re looking to bag a ‘Munro’, it’s got to be the might Schehallion in nearby Kinloch Rannoch.  Allow yourself at least five hours, a packed lunch from our kitchen and some sturdy boots and you’re in for a memorable climb and some spectacular views across Highland Perthshire.  When you return to the hotel you’ll definitely deserve a namesake Schehallion beer from the bar!
