Tigh na Sithe is a handsome traditional Victorian villa located in the centre of Kinloch Rannoch, one of Highland Perthshire’s most picturesque villages. Surrounded by wooded hills, open countryside and the dramatic scenery of Loch Rannoch, the house offers a welcoming and characterful base for families and friends looking to experience a quieter side of the Scottish Highlands.

The Gaelic name Tigh na Sithe translates as “House of Peace”, a fitting description for a home designed for relaxation, comfort and unhurried time together. The house captures the spirit of Scottish “coorie”—a feeling of warmth, contentment and well-being found through simple pleasures, a cosy home and a close connection to the surrounding landscape.

Guests staying at Tigh na Sithe enjoy full complimentary access to Loch Rannoch Estate’s spa and leisure facilities with an indoor swimming pool, sauna, steam room and superb gym.

You can also book Ishga spa treatments, rent e-bikes, paddleboards, kayaks and sailing dinghies, or try the indoor climbing wall, or even go wild swimming from the Marina Beach with wetsuits available and a hot shower on hand!

A Characterful and Comfortable Highland Home

Inside, Tigh na Sithe combines the elegance of a traditional Victorian property with the warmth and comfort of a much-loved country home. The interiors have been thoughtfully decorated and feature attractive antiques, period details, comfortable furnishings and inviting spaces in which guests can relax together or find a quiet corner of their own.

The sitting room is a particularly welcoming place to unwind, with comfortable sofas and an open log fire that creates a wonderfully cosy atmosphere during cooler Highland evenings. It is an ideal room for sharing a bottle of wine, playing games, reading a book or simply relaxing after a day spent exploring the surrounding countryside.

The snug dining room offers another warm and sociable space, complete with a wood-burning stove. Whether gathering for a leisurely breakfast, a family meal or a special dinner, the room provides an intimate setting in which to enjoy good food and time together.

The bedrooms continue the relaxed and comfortable feel of the house, with inviting beds designed to be “sunk into” at the end of the day. Traditional character is complemented by a calm, restful atmosphere, helping guests feel at home from the moment they arrive.

A Home for Every Season

Tigh na Sithe is a wonderful place to stay throughout the year.

During autumn and winter, the open fire and wood-burning stove make the house especially cosy, while the surrounding hills, woodland and changing Highland light create a dramatic backdrop. It is the perfect setting for crisp country walks followed by a warm drink beside the fire.

In spring and summer, guests can enjoy the property’s pretty south- and west-facing gardens. These provide an attractive outdoor space for morning coffee, relaxed afternoons and long summer evenings when daylight lingers over the hills.

The changing seasons bring a different character to Kinloch Rannoch, from spring greenery and summer wildflowers to rich autumn colours and peaceful winter landscapes.

Discover Kinloch Rannoch

Kinloch Rannoch is a traditional Highland village situated at the eastern end of Loch Rannoch, a freshwater loch extending approximately ten miles west towards the Bridge of Gaur. The village is surrounded by mountains, forests, rivers and open moorland, creating a memorable setting for walking, cycling, sightseeing and time spent outdoors.

From Tigh na Sithe, guests can enjoy the character and convenience of a central village location while remaining close to some of Perthshire’s most impressive natural scenery. The village’s traditional stone buildings, bridge, river and surrounding wooded slopes give it an atmosphere that feels peaceful and remote without being completely isolated.

The local area offers routes for both gentle walks and more challenging days in the hills. The Kinloch Rannoch Nature Trail provides an accessible introduction to the village and its surroundings, while the nearby Craig Varr walk rewards walkers with impressive views over Kinloch Rannoch and the loch. More experienced hillwalkers can explore the wider mountains of Highland Perthshire, including the distinctive peak of Schiehallion.

Loch Rannoch itself is ideal for scenic drives, shoreline walks, cycling and outdoor pursuits. The quieter roads around the loch allow visitors to experience the changing views of the water, woodland and surrounding hills at an unhurried pace. Fishing and a variety of water-based activities are also associated with the wider area, subject to local access, permits, weather and seasonal availability.

A short journey west leads deeper into the Rannoch landscape, where visitors can discover ancient woodland, the Black Wood of Rannoch, Rannoch Station and the vast wilderness of Rannoch Moor. The waymarked walks at Carie offer opportunities to explore mixed and ancient woodland close to the southern shore of the loch.

Guests can also enjoy memorable drives through Loch Tummel and towards Queen’s View, one of Highland Perthshire’s best-known viewpoints, before continuing towards Pitlochry and the wider attractions of Perthshire.

A Place to Slow Down
Tigh na Sithe is particularly suited to guests who value space, character and the chance to spend meaningful time together. Days can be filled with walking, cycling and exploring, or enjoyed at a gentler pace with a book by the fire, a meal around the dining table or a quiet afternoon in the garden.

Whether visiting for a family holiday, a Highland gathering, an outdoor adventure or simply a peaceful escape from everyday life, Tigh na Sithe offers a warm and memorable home in one of Scotland’s most beautiful rural settings.

Children are very welcome at Tigh na Sithe.
