Craighead Howfs

Doing a very sunny changeover in the Wee Tree Howf and what a lovely surprise to find. Our returning visitors came to celebrate a 51st birthday in what they call their happy place. Thank you so much for the very kind card and delicious piece of cake!

What if your next escape was about more than just where you stay?

Nestled in the Perthshire countryside, just outside Dunblane, Craighead Howfs is a place to slow down, switch off and reconnect with nature. Our handcrafted Howfs are designed to blend beautifully into the landscape, creating unique places to stay that feel a world away from everyday life.

Wake up to a stunning Scottish sunrise, enjoy your morning coffee surrounded by birdsong and spend your days exploring the grounds and meeting our wonderful animals. From Highland cows, alpacas and playful pygmy goats to our sheep, ducks, geese and even emus, there is always something to discover around the smallholding.

Watch wildlife from your doorstep, wander through the countryside, relax beside the lochan and spend your evenings around the fire pit as the sun sets across the Perthshire landscape. With no rush to be anywhere and nature all around you, it is the perfect place to unwind and enjoy life’s simple pleasures.

Because Craighead Howfs is not just accommodation. It is an experience, a chance to escape the ordinary and create lasting memories in a truly magical corner of Scotland.

It’s not just the accommodation at Craighead Howfs that feels unique and magical, it’s the whole experience of being here.

Set in the peaceful Perthshire countryside, our smallholding is home to a wonderful mix of animals and wildlife that make every stay feel that little bit more special. Our playful pygmy goats are always favourites with guests, while alpacas quietly graze nearby and Highland cattle roam the fields. You will also spot our Shetland pony, Swiss Valley Blacknose sheep, emus, peafowl, fantails, turkeys and guinea fowl wandering freely through the grounds.

By the tranquil lochan, ducks and geese drift across the water, creating the perfect place to slow down, switch off and simply enjoy the surroundings.

Whether you are staying in one of our handcrafted Howfs or soaking up the atmosphere around the smallholding, Craighead Howfs is about far more than just a place to sleep, it is an experience surrounded by nature, animals and the beauty of the Scottish countryside.

Looking for a stay where nature, wildlife and a touch of magic all come together? 🌳🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The Wee Tree Howf was our very first creation at Craighead Howfs, and it still feels just as special today. Set above a tumbling burn and beside a peaceful lochan in Perthshire, Scotland, this unique treehouse is all about slowing down and enjoying the moment.

Cross the little bridge, step inside and you will find a cosy, handcrafted space full of character. There is a wood burning stove for cooler evenings, quirky features throughout and even a pulley system in the burn to keep your drinks chilled. As a result, it is not just somewhere to stay, but somewhere to experience.

Outside, nature is always close by. Spend time around the fire pit, listen to the gentle flow of the water and watch wildlife move through the landscape. You might even meet some of our resident animals, from Highland cows to pygmy goats and more. Because of this, every stay feels calm, immersive and wonderfully different.

For an extra touch, the Ofuru wood fired hot tub by the lochan is available as an optional extra, perfect for unwinding under the open sky. Designed as an adult only retreat, the Wee Tree Howf offers a peaceful escape where you can truly switch off.
