About Poachers Hut
On the 4,000-acre Cardross Estate, this luxury shepherd's hut enjoys sweeping Trossachs views and a private field complete with firepit, pizza oven and hot tub. Inside, bespoke oak floors, a woodburner and a well-equipped kitchenette (Nespresso machine, microwave, fridge) create a cosy retreat, while the welcome hamper – stocked with fresh eggs from resident hens and homemade treats – sets the tone from arrival. Netflix and wifi cover rainy-day entertainment, though when the sun appears, the south-facing patio and barbecue beckon.
The lack of light pollution means exceptional stargazing, and daylight hours often reveal deer, hares and red kites. Hosts add thoughtful touches like pancake breakfasts, and with cycling, climbing, watersports and dining all nearby, there's plenty to explore. Perfect for couples seeking peace and a proper dose of Scottish wilderness.

What visitors say
Loved the Poacher’s Hut!! It is a stunning space, with so much available to you for the sole purpose of chilling out and relaxing. The hut itself is warm and cozy, and the hamper was a such a delight to snack on! We loved being able to hear the wildlife outside as we watched films when the sun went down. Speaking of sunsets, we were spoiled with incredible views of sun creating over the hills as well as delighting in the partridges running over the distance. Add watching the world go by next to the fire, hammock, or (our favourite) in the hot tub, and it was a truly perfect way to unwind! The wood fire pizza oven was such fun to use, and Lorna was great at instructing us over how to cook with the oven safely. In fact as far as hosts go, she is the best! From feeding giving us biscuits to feed the goats, to proving us with a fabulous pancake breakfast for us to feast on, Lorna was a lovely, friendly host. Can’t wait to visit the space again soon!

Our hosts, Lorna and Ray were extremely welcoming from minute we arrived. Poachers hut was just amazing, had everything we needed for our 2 day stay there. The attention to detail in the hut was incredible, so many nice touches. Nothing could disappoint, pizza oven and fire pit were great but hot tub certainly made the trip special, everything was spotless and so easy to use. Was nice to wake up to sound of wildlife and to have the goats waiting for their ginger snap treat each time you passed them. Such an idyllic place with lots of lovely walks, looking forward to going back in warmer weather and see some more of this lovely place.

We stayed at The Poacher’s Hut in Scotland and it was absolutely amazing. The hut itself had everything you could possibly need for a perfect stay – so thoughtfully equipped and comfortable. It also boasted a lovely hot tub and a fire pit outside with views over the surrounding countryside, which made it extra special. Lorna and Ray, the owners, were the loveliest hosts and truly went above and beyond. When they found out I was a wildlife photographer, they even shared links to nearby places I might enjoy visiting, which was such a thoughtful touch. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The hut is set in a beautiful area and made the whole experience even more memorable. I’ll definitely be returning – highly recommended!
