Step outside onto the patio, which surrounds the Lodge, and enjoy your breakfast al fresco, and say good morning to the wildlife. Afterwards take a stroll down to the loch, through the woods, or wander through the Christmas trees (wellington boots required), go and say hello to the resident sheep or deer that Alick farms. You might even see him with his 6 working sheep dogs Patch, Moss and Ben, Kim, Tess, and Meg. Due to the elevated position of the estate, at the end of every wee walk you will be rewarded with spectacular views of Ben Ledi, Ben Lomond, Ben Venue, Ben Vorlich the Campsie Fells or the Gargunnock hills.

When you get back, soak away any aches and pains in the hot tub, If you want to have a more rustic meal, venture across the garden and get the wood burning on the bespoke built Pizza Oven and BBQ where there is plenty room for a banquet to be cooked over the flames.

Apr 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Living Naturally Staying on a deer farm in beautiful accommodations was a great decision! We took day trips throughout Scotland but always returned to the Muir Estate. The kids loved the home - and that is what if felt like a home. Claire was a wonderful host and we could not have asked for more. ##### Pamela S. Stayed 8 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lynn V. Aug 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful place to stay. The lodge is in a beautiful area, secluded with just deer for neighbours. Claire and Aleck were great hosts, very friendly. The lodge was stunning. Each room was well decorated and cosy. Very comfortable beds and lovely bathrooms. The log burning fires in the each lounge were just perfect at night. The outdoor bbq and pizza oven were a great addition along with the hot tub. We all loved staying here for a long weekend. I would happily stay at Muir Estate again. ##### Lynn V. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kenneth M. Jul 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect family retreat We just had a great family vacation at Muir Estate! The house itself is modern with all the amenities of a 4/5 star hotel with the added bonus that the hosts will arrange the bedrooms and beds to suit your specific family needs. For kids and animal lovers seeing the deer and being able to feed them was an added bonus. Overall the home is the perfect blend of remote enough to feel like you are away from it all to being bang in the middle of Scotland a short drive from all the major cities/airports and on the doorstep of the highlands for sightseeing. Thank you Claire and Alick for a wonderful stay! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d5d6b671-1b3d-47dd-9b78-94c76434ab71-1751377168015.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/22a751c8-b8c6-4463-a9d8-fb9565ff66a2-1751377173416.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6dec3d70-5d66-4a23-b9c3-61cd54c6ac00-1751377099950.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/acfece7f-fc09-4b6f-a4e0-daca8b71da83-1751377158636.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Kenneth M.

Aug 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful, lovely, relaxing, and warm Outstanding! The hosts, Claire and Alick, could not have been more accommodating and warm. The dinners they prepared for us were phenomenal - as good as you would get at any top scale restaurant. The property is even better than what you see in the photos! We used the wood fired hot tub, fire pit and the outside grill with no problems at all. The beds were extremely comfortable. Inside is accommodating and warm with spacious living areas, dining room and kitchen. We would stay there again in a second. Lovely towns nearby and a great jump off point for the Highlands, Edinburgh and Glasgow. I can't say enough positive things about Muir Estate. Thank you Claire and Alick for your efforts! ##### Daniel D. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024
