A peaceful Scottish escape

Nestled in the rolling hills of Perthshire, these charming cabins provide a secluded yet accessible retreat, offering a blend of cosy accommodation, scenic landscapes, and sustainable living.

From the way these cabins were thoughtfully built to the amenities they offer, every detail at Outfield Farm invites you to slow down, reconnect with nature, and fully unwind.

A background on Outfield Farm and its Cabins

Outfield Farm was a working farm that has been part of Abernyte’s landscape. In recent years, accommodation options were added, aiming to share the area’s natural beauty and tranquillity with visitors. The goal was to create a place where guests could escape the hustle and bustle of city life without sacrificing comfort. The cabins and lodges that have been designed embody this vision, combining eco-friendly building practices with cosy, home-like touches that make your stay both relaxing and memorable.

The cabins were built with sustainability in mind, using locally sourced timber and eco-friendly materials wherever possible. Water conservation methods and energy-efficient appliances were integrated into the design, ensuring that each cabin’s environmental impact is kept to a minimum.

What makes Outfield Farm Cabins so special?

Staying at Outfield Farm feels like stepping into a postcard of the Scottish countryside. The views alone are reason enough to visit: endless rolling hills, green fields dotted with grazing sheep, and panoramic vistas that stretch out for miles. There’s a sense of serenity here that’s hard to find elsewhere; the cabins are set well apart from one another, providing guests with plenty of privacy to enjoy the natural setting in peace.

Tim designed all of these cabins and has done an amazing job for them to fit seamlessly into this environment. Built with natural exteriors, the cabins have a rustic and unique aesthetic that blends into the landscape, while the interiors are cosy and modern. Each cabin features comfortable furnishings, a fully equipped kitchen, and a wood-burning stove to keep you warm on chilly evenings. The balance between rustic charm and modern convenience is impeccable, making it easy to feel at home the moment you arrive.

Unique features of the Cabins

Outfield Farm Cabins are packed with thoughtful features that add to the overall experience. Here are a few highlights:

Private hot tubs

Each cabin is equipped with its own outdoor hot tub, allowing guests to soak and relax under the open sky. The hot tubs are particularly enjoyable at night, when you can watch the stars above and listen to the sounds of nature.

Panoramic windows

The cabins are designed to take full advantage of the incredible views, with large windows that offer uninterrupted sights of the surrounding countryside. Imagine waking up to the sight of mist rolling over the hills or sitting by the window with a warm drink as the sun sets – it’s an experience you won’t forget.

Wood-burning stoves

There’s something incredibly comforting about curling up by a crackling wood-burning stove, and each cabin at Outfield Farm has one. The stoves not only keep the cabins warm and cosy but also add to the ambience, making your stay feel even more intimate and relaxing.

From energy-efficient appliances to eco-friendly cleaning products and water-saving measures, every effort has been made to ensure the cabins are as environmentally friendly as possible. It’s a nice feeling to know that your stay has a low impact on the surrounding ecosystem.

Outdoor seating areas and BBQ, and pizza ovens

Each cabin has an outdoor seating area where you can relax, dine al fresco, or simply enjoy the fresh country air. The farm provides BBQ facilities, allowing you to grill your own meals with local produce, adding a bit of adventure to your dining experience, and also pizza ovens!

Things to do at Outfield Farm and in the Surrounding Area

While the cabins are a perfect place to relax and unwind, there’s no shortage of things to do at Outfield Farm and in the nearby area. The location is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, with a range of activities and scenic spots to explore.

Outfield Farm is surrounded by numerous trails that cater to all levels of fitness. Whether you’re up for a gentle stroll around the farm’s fields or a more challenging hike up the nearby Kinnoull Hill—a site with breathtaking views- you’ll find a trail that suits your pace. This hill is the highest point in Perth.

Wildlife watching

The farm and its surrounding area are home to a variety of wildlife, from birds and deer to smaller animals like rabbits and hares. Birdwatchers will find plenty to appreciate, as the area attracts a range of species, including red kites, owls, and even the occasional eagle. A lot of work has gone in to maintain the natural habitats around the farm, so wildlife sightings are frequent, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to your stay. A natural pond has been created at one of the cabins, Bothan Dubh.

Exploring the Village of Abernyte

The village of Abernyte is small but charming, with a tight-knit community and a handful of interesting spots to visit. The Scottish Antique and Arts Centre is worth a stop; it’s a sprawling emporium filled with antiques, art, and unique finds. If you’re looking for something special to take home, this is the place to find it. There’s also a lovely café on-site, where you can enjoy a bite to eat and chat with locals. Of course, I fell in love with the books. With a plethora of books, I could have gotten lost in these for hours.

Day trips to nearby attractions

Outfield Farm’s location in Perthshire makes it an ideal base for exploring other parts of Scotland. You’re only a short drive from some of the area’s top attractions, including Scone Palace, the historic crowning place of Scottish kings, and Dunkeld, a picturesque village on the River Tay known for its medieval cathedral and quaint shops. For whisky enthusiasts, a visit to the Edradour Distillery—one of Scotland’s smallest traditional distilleries—is a must.
