Welcome to Lude Estate, Blair Atholl
Tom of Lude Steading Cottages - Self Catering Accommodation in the Highlands of Scotland
In a magnificent setting on the owners' private estate, these four holiday cottages are superbly finished conversions of a working steading. They are warm and welcoming and have unsurpassed views high over the Vale of Atholl towards Blair Castle in the Cairngorms National Park. They are ideal for a relaxing family break, or for weddings - when all the cottages can be booked together, or for a romantic rural retreat.
Each house has its own sitting-out area, and for those those wishing to let off steam, there is a grassed childrens' play area at the back of the properties. Situated in the Cairngorms National Park and at the geographical centre of Scotland the area offers an enormous variety of tourist attractions, walking and cycling routes, fishing, horse riding and much much more - for further information click on the OUR AREA tab above and explore the huge amount of info about this area.
There is also easy access by road or rail to Inverness, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Fort William or St Andrews.
