It might look like a little like a pigsty from the outside but this high-end glamping pod is nothing like it inside. In fact, with a full-sized bath, a king-sized bed, a hairdryer, and a TV, The Pigsty is more like a hotel room on the farm. It’s neat as a pin with a finish and facilities you’d be happy to have at home; a tiled bathroom, a velveteen sofa, good quality bed linens, and more. It’s situated in a field on a farm with excellent views across the Strathearn Valley, just seven miles outside of Crieff and a 20-minute drive from Perth.
Although it has hotel-style comfort, The Pigsty is a self-catering glamping cabin. It offers self-contained accommodation, which includes a kitchenette in the open-plan living and sleeping space as well as that rather luxurious bathroom. The pleasingly-curved walls are timber clad but it’s not what you’d call rustic inside. There’s a contemporary elegance to the furniture, fixtures and fittings but it still has a good connection to the outdoors as all good glamping should. French doors open onto a wide deck with a barbecue, chiminea, bistro seating – and those countryside views.
Evenings are lovely spent right here as you can watch the changing light in the sky but you are close enough to Crieff to enjoy a meal out too. The town is the capital of this region and is home to the Caithness Glass Visitor Centre and one of Scotland’s most famous whisky distilleries, Glenturret, home of Famous Grouse. It’s also a great base for outdoor activities and the hills in your view from the farm offer up some excellent walks. Get out and explore, safe in the knowledge that there’s hotel-style comfort waiting for you back at The Pigsty on a Perthshire farm.
The Pigsty sits on our family farm in rural Perthshire, with stunning and far-reaching views across the Strathearn Valley.
The Pigsty is a short 10 minute drive from Crieff - a historic market town and a hub for tourism, 20 minutes from Perth, and an hour from both Edinburgh and Glasgow. It's an ideal retreat for those who are looking for a peaceful escape from the city, surrounded by beautiful countryside walks. It’s the perfect retreat for an escape to the country, or just an excuse to get away for a couple of nights of peace and quiet.

As parents we feel a night or 2 away is something of a special treat! So with this in mind we have made The Pigsty an adult only stay.
As dog owners we love our furry friends! However we regret for a number of factors, no dogs are allowed at The Pigsty.
