Welcome
to Westacre Lodge.
Westacre Lodge is situated near the famous Gleneagles Hotel, just 5 miles from Crieff (off the A85) and forms an excellent base for touring many of Scotland’s famous and historic attractions.
With an array of outdoor pursuits, including golf, shooting and hill walking, not to mention incredible views in every direction, Westacre Lodge is an ideal location for any kind of holiday – at any time of year.
We pride ourselves on our hospitality and very much look forward to welcoming
you.
Matt & Isabel Nisbet make wonderful hosts.
Your hosts at Westacre Lodge have been doing this sort of thing for
quite a while now.
We built the lodge in 1980 and we have been welcoming guests from all
over the world ever since.
We are always looking to improve the quality of the accommodation and
have recently extended and refurbished the whole lodge.
We’re rather proud of it and we think you’ll see why.
We like to think we can find something of interest for anyone who comes to visit, whether that is helping to organise a round of golf, a recommendation for one of our excellent local restaurants or just a game of croquet on the lawn! We are here to be of help so don’t be shy to ask.
We look forward to welcoming you to Westacre Lodge and – if you’re like most of our guests – welcoming you back again soon!

Buchanty Spout:
Buchanty Spout is a spectacular waterfall and natural salmon leap on the
River Almond in Glen Almond, a few miles north of Crieff. Start at the
small car park on the B8063 (Grid Reference 933283) near to the waterfall
and an old stone bridge. The circuit is equally enjoyable from whatever
direction it is tackled but an anticlockwise approach - starting on the
minor road near the car park and later re-joining the B8063 - avoids an
early hill climb.
Famous Grouse Experience:
As Scotland’s oldest distillery Glenturret has had a long and colourful
history. From illicit stills and smugglers, through the worldwide boom
in Scottish whisky to near dereliction post-prohibition, the site here
at Glenturret has survived through the centuries. Nowadays The Famous
Grouse Experience at Glenturret is the most visited distillery in Scotland,
which seems only appropriate for the spiritual home of Scotland’s
Favourite Whisky.

The Crieff Visitors Centre sits in four acres of it's own grounds with
an extensive children's play area for all ages and boasts one of the famous
'Spacenet' climbing frames to keep them amused.

· Buchan Thistle Pottery visitor gallery
· A fully stocked garden centre with ideas for every garden

Drummond Castle Gardens:
Drummond Castle was built on a rocky outcrop by John, 1st Lord Drummond.
The 2nd Earl, a Privy Councilor to James VI and Charles I, succeeded in
1612 and is credited with transforming both the gardens and the castle.
The keep still stands but the rest of the castle was restored and largely
remodeled by the 1st Earl of Ancaster in 1890.
