- Cosy shepherd's hut in a quiet location with spectacular views
- Within 15 minutes' drive of Stirling Castle and the Trossachs
- Pay once for unlimited Blair Drummond Safari Park access during stay
The Bankhead Shepherd's Huts team are rightly proud of this Stirlingshire site. With a very special setting in central Scotland, this cosy hut accommodation has access to all sorts of scenery, from the mighty walls of Stirling Castle to the lochs and mountains of the Trossachs, either of which can be reached in a quick quarter of an hour's drive.
Views from the accommodation look out towards the Gargunnock Hills, and the site as a whole is a haven for wildlife: look out for hares, red squirrels or deer grazing in the field to the front.
More animals are just around the corner, as Bankhead Shepherd's Huts is right beside Blair Drummond Safari Park; if you buy tickets to visit the park during your time here, you'll benefit from unlimited entry for the rest of your stay.
The hut sleeps two adults and two children in comfy beds (a kingsize double and a bunk above it) and comes with a well-appointed living space, kitchen and bathroom with a WC and shower. To keep you cosy, a woodburning stove and firepit are provided, and there's outdoor furniture too for open-air relaxing.
The nearest town is Doune, a mile and a half away, where there are local shops and a castle, while an award-winning farm shop can be reached within walking distance. The historic city of Stirling (15 minutes' drive) is home to iconic landmarks like its vast medieval castle and the towering Wallace Monument, but there are also amenities in town like supermarkets, petrol stations and a cinema. On top of that, Scotland's biggest cities, Glasgow and Edinburgh, can both be reached by road in well under an hour.
