Set  within over 500 acres of unspoilt Scottish scenery, Glenstriven House  is surrounded by some of the most beautiful and accessible wild  landscapes in the country. Choose  a book from our well-stocked shelves and settle by the woodburner to  enjoy sweeping views over the loch, or pull on a pair of wellies and  head out to explore the estate.

Lochs,  glens, mountains, and forests lie literally on the doorstep, where you  may spot red deer, red squirrels, owls, otters, porpoises, buzzards,  pine martens, and even  eagles. For those seeking adventure, we offer a wide range of  activities—from kayaking and cycling to clay pigeon shooting and deer  stalking.

Guests  can also enjoy our private games room and our own well-stocked pub, The  Glenstriven Arms. Take a short stroll across the garden and help  yourself to a well-earned  drink—especially welcome after a day spent exploring the estate’s  network of trails or an evening spent stalking in the hills.
