All rooms are pet-friendly, and some accommodations include private gardens or access to a communal bathroom near the honesty shop.

Wildlife and Rewilding Experience

The estate is a rewilding project where guests can observe beavers, Exmoor ponies, wild pigs, and deer roaming freely. Guided beaver walks led by host Paul provide insights into the reintroduction of beavers and the restoration of natural habitats. A daytime woodland walk with the house owner covers the history of the rewilding work and offers sightings of ospreys and other birds.

The property is located 22 km from Glamis Castle, 31 km from Dundee Airport, and 32 km from Discovery Point and Scone Palace. Guests can enjoy skiing and golf in the surrounding area, as well as hiking trails directly from the estate. A small honesty shop on site sells eggs, chocolate, and kindling, and large grocery stores are available in Blairgowrie and Alyth.

“My exploration of Bamff Ecotourism revealed a deeply peaceful retreat nestled within a wild setting, offering a genuine escape with off-grid conveniences managed thoughtfully at reception. The meticulously renovated shepherd's hut and spacious cottages provide comfortable, wildlife-rich havens, a testament to thoughtful design and a commitment to the estate's rewilding ethos. The guided estate walks, particularly the insightful beaver tours, are a standout, connecting visitors directly with the revitalised landscape and its inhabitants.”
