We're husband and wife team Claire and Alick. Between us we have years of experience managing large Scottish estates and 5 star properties, delivering exceptional hospitality. We're the proud new owners of Muir Estate and are passionate about carrying on the proud heritage and giving people a unique experience in this special corner of Scotland. We previously owned and ran Woodcroft House which we achieved 5 stars by Visit Scotland and won the Best Guest House in Scotland 2022 voted by the Good Hotel Guide Our dream is to be self-sufficient, producing our own venison, lamb, beef and pork and to share this with our guests. Alick is very experienced in managing livestock, coming from a long line of Orkney farmers and previously managed Glenlyon Estate in highland Perthshire. So as soon as we bought this place we set to work putting up deer fences to form parks where we now have 10 hinds (female deer) the beginning of hopefully a larger herd, and later in the year we will introduce a stag. We have also fenced off the remainder of the grazing land so that we can have some sheep. In time, we hope to add cattle and possibly pigs, but we have to start somewhere. We both share the same principles and values, that our animals will be treated with kindness and be given the best life possible while they are with us on Muir Estate.

Tucked away between Thornhill and the popular tourist village Callander, nestled in 188-acres of private woodland and grazing pasture, The Lodge, which sleeps 10-14 adults and 2 infants, has a wood burning hot tub and pizza oven, and a stone BBQ. It's the perfect haven to escape the madness of the modern world, to chill out and enjoy much needed time together.

Muir Estate is ideally located, just a few miles from either direction you will find lots to entertain you, your family and friends.
