Craighead Howfs

Experience the Extraordinary
in Scotland

Craighead Howfs is a family-run retreat where handcrafted accommodation, peaceful countryside and friendly animals come together to create a truly memorable stay.

From adult-only Hobbit-inspired howfs and treehouse escapes to the beautifully restored Muckle Howf family holiday cottage, every accommodation has its own character. Therefore, whether you are planning a romantic glamping break or a relaxing escape with family and friends, there is something here to suit a very different kind of Scottish getaway.

However, Craighead is about much more than where you sleep. Highland cattle, alpacas, Valais Blacknose sheep, pygmy goats, emus and other animals are all part of everyday life here. Meanwhile, the gardens, lochan and surrounding countryside give guests plenty of space to slow down, switch off and enjoy the setting.

Unique Stays
for Every Kind of Escape

Each of our howfs has been individually crafted using natural materials including stone and timber. As a result, they blend beautifully into the surrounding landscape while providing comfort, character, and a genuine connection to nature.

From cosy treehouse glamping experiences nestled amongst the trees to peaceful Hobbit-inspired hillside hideaways, every accommodation has its own distinctive style and atmosphere. Round doors, grass-covered roofs, and handcrafted details help make each stay unique. Meanwhile, the spacious Muckle Howf holiday cottage provides a welcoming countryside base for families and friends throughout the year.

Designed for Rest and Relaxation

All six glamping howfs are exclusively for adults and designed for guests seeking privacy, tranquillity, and time to slow down. Whether you’re drawn to a peaceful retreat beside the lochan or a unique hillside hideaway, you’ll discover an unforgettable stay surrounded by the beauty of the Perthshire countryside.

Slow Down and Reconnect with Nature

Here, the pace is slower, the skies are darker, and evenings are best spent beside the fire beneath the stars.
