Peaceful Setting, Town on Your Doorstep
Ericht Holiday Lodges sit on the Rattray side of the River Ericht, surrounded by trees and tucked away from the bustle of everyday life. Yet just across the river and Blairgowrie town centre is only around a 10-minute walk away.
That means you can enjoy the peace of our woodland setting, while cafés, restaurants, shops and supermarkets are all within easy reach — and you can leave the car behind when you want to.
We’re also well placed for exploring further afield, from Highland Perthshire and the Angus Glens to Royal Deeside and the Cairngorms.
