Leckie Treehouses

Four treehouses, and a copper bath in each

Leckie is a working estate below the Gargunnock Hills, and the four treehouses are scattered through its ancient woodland rather than lined up in a row. Each sits in a different tree at a different height, so what you look at from the deck changes with the one you book.

What they share is the kit. Every treehouse has a super king bed, an open plan kitchen and sitting room, underfloor heating, a log burning stove with logs and firelighters supplied, an indoor shower, and an outdoor copper bath. The kitchen has an induction hob, a microwave combination oven, and a fridge with a small freezer, and there is an electric Weber BBQ outside.

The copper bath is the reason most people book. It is outdoors on the deck at all four, among the trees rather than beside them, which makes it a long soak in summer and a short decisive one in February.

Where it puts you

The walking starts at the door, with hill and woodland trails across the estate and a map to go with them. The Gargunnock Inn is a ten minute walk for a drink or dinner, and Old Leckie Farm runs tours by arrangement and sells eggs, Highland beef, and outdoor reared pork to guests.

Beyond the estate you are in the flat country west of Stirling, with the hills at your back. The operator puts the Trossachs National Park at a twenty minute drive, which brings hill walking, wild swimming, and the boat trips on Loch Katrine and Loch Lomond within reach for the day.
