Exclusive-use hillside weddings, birthdays & celebrations of all kinds, intimate glamping elopements and vow renewals, on a magical Perthshire hillside..
Some weddings & celebrations need a ballroom. Yours needs a view that stops people mid-sentence. Welcome to a different kind of Scottish celebration, where the only crowd is the one you invited, or no crowd at all. Whether you’re bringing your favourite people for two nights of celebration, or it’s just the two of you saying “I do” (again, or for the first time), the backdrop is the same: rolling Perthshire hillside that feels astonishingly yours.

The Experience
Two Different Ways to Celebrate
The Exclusive-Use Hillside Wedding
Two Nights. One Hillside. No Sharing.
For the length of your stay, 4 full acres this private hillside, wth it’s simply astounding views, belongs to you and no one else. No passing guests, no shared driveways, no strangers wandering into your photographs. Just your people, your celebration, and a view across Perthshire that changes colour with the light — soft purple at sunrise, deep gold at dusk.
It’s the kind of setting that does half the decorating for you. Bring your own drinks, bring your favourite people, and let 4 acres of hillside do the rest.
Exclusive use – the hillside and grounds are yours alone for your stay for up to 50 Guests
2-night stays – arrive, breathe, celebrate, and wake up to the view again, accommodation for up to 30 adults and 5 children – all yours…
The Orangery – for your Ceremony and evening celebration
Astounding views – uninterrupted Perthshire hillside scenery, quite unlike anywhere else
Your own private chef – eat, drink and be merry, whether it’s wood fired pizzas or a 10 course tasting menu, this is entirely your style of celebration
Your own private bar – celebrate your way, with your very own choice of drinks
Your own celebration co-ordinator – there on the day of your birthday, anniversary, or wedding, between 10am and midnight, and there to help you plan your weekend
Around an hour from Edinburgh and Glasgow – easy to reach, a world away once you’re here
Glamping Elopements & Vow Renewals
Just the Two of You. And a Hot Tub Under the Stars.
Not every love story needs a guest list. Our glamping elopements and vow renewals are made for couples who want the moment to be about each other, nothing more. Say your vows at Willow, cosy indoors with the fire lit, or outdoors on the deck with the astounding views in front of your, with up to 4 guests (and a couple of children and dogs!), then retreat to your own cosy yurt or lorry for the night, with a wood-fired hot tub waiting and the hillside quiet around you. Our staff are happy to be your witnesses.
These celebrations share the estate with our other glamping guests, so they’re not exclusive use, but your unit, your ceremony and your time together are entirely your own.
Intimate by design – perfect for eloping, or renewing your vows years down the line
Your own glamping hideaway – choose a couples-only yurt, Bramble or Heather, or Juniper, our dog and child-friendly lorry, ideal if the kids or the dog are part of the story
Wood-fired hot tub or soak tub – for toasting the day in the open air
Relaxed and unhurried – no big production, just a beautiful, meaningful moment
Year-round – choose your favourite Yurt or Lorry, dogs & kids are welcome in the Annexe and Lorries too…
Romantic, Relaxed, Refreshing

FAQs
Q: What does “exclusive use” mean for the hillside stay? A: For the duration of your 2-night stay, the 4-acre hillside grounds and accommodation are reserved solely for you and your guests — no other weddings or visitors on site.
Q: What is the cost of an Exclusive Use Wedding or Celebration? With each celebration being bespoke, that’s a hard question to answer! But the costs are usually between £15,000 up to £30,000. This will depend on your personal food and drinks choices. Venue and accommodation hire are from £10,000-£12,500, depending on the time of year, and guest numbers.
Q: Can our guests pay for their own accommodation? Absolutely. We have a bespoke booking area, which allows you to set specific room pricing for each room or glamping unit individually, which your guests can pay for directly, using a special link. Payments taken will just be deducted from your final balance.
Q: How many guests can an Exclusive Use celebration accommodate? A: 30 adults and 5 children staying and up to a total of 50 guests in total for the day of the wedding.

Why Couples Choose an Intimate Hillside Wedding
Not every couple wants 100 guests and a dance floor. More and more are choosing something smaller, slower, and more personal — a wedding that’s about the two of you and the handful of people who matter most, set against scenery that would cost a fortune to recreate anywhere else.
If that sounds like you, you’re exactly who this was built for.
