Local Walks
The area around the hotel is packed with routes that show off the best of Highland Perthshire. The riverside Birnam path leading to the ancient Birnam Oak gives a steady, scenic wander through woodland, while Birnam Hill rewards a bit more effort with wide views over the Tay Valley.

The River Tay is ideal for getting out on the water, with local providers offering guided trips, lessons, and equipment hire. Whether you’re paddling a gentle stretch or setting off on a longer journey, it’s a memorable way to explore the area.
The River Tay offers excellent access for paddlers of all experience levels. Local providers run guided trips, lessons, and equipment hire, making it simple to get out on the water whether you’re a first-timer or a confident kayaker. From gentle upstream meanders to more adventurous routes, the river gives you a different way to see the landscape.
Wildlife Watching
This part of Scotland is known for its wildlife, and you won’t need to go far to spot it. Red squirrels dart through the trees, beavers appear along quieter stretches of the Tay, and the area’s birdlife ranges from woodland regulars to impressive seasonal migrants.
Wild Swimming
Wild swimming is a big part of local life here, with calm spots along the Tay offering a refreshing dip in every season. Whether you join the Birnam Bathers or head out on your own, it’s a wonderful way to experience the landscape from a different angle.
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
Cycling & Mountain Biking
Cyclists are well served here, with everything from flat, scenic routes along the river to forest tracks that lead deeper into the surrounding hills. More technical trails sit just a short ride away for anyone who wants to push their mountain biking a little further. If you’re bringing your own bike, we can point you to local repair shops, hire options, and the best routes for your level.
