This was the marquee set up on Friday on the East Lawn, perfect for weddings, or just a good old fashioned birthday party! Thank you yet again to Alistair and the Team at Gourlays..... Can't wait to see the wedding photos from the weekend!
Wedding bells..... our gorgeous bell tents for our extra wedding guests.
Our marquee is definitely NOT small.... seen in the distance from Auchterarder!
Just beginning to sort out the furnishings for the Annexe...... Found these gems in the loft!
A huge thank you to @DanConnell for his wonderful images of our lovely Yurt Bramble from his recent stay with us. Lovely to have you back. 🌟

Cheeky!
And we can tell you 22 more! :-)
These pics in the snow seem a life time ago! But we are now taking those winter bookings already for our cosy yurts. Idyllic in the snow....or shine, or rain! (After all, we are in Scotland....)

Have you ever done French Toast on the camp fire? Yum! It's delicious 😋

Wedding season is in full swing and this is one of our all time favourite images taken at AH by the wonderfully talented Mark Wild Photography 😍
What an absolutely wonderful space! Delighted to have been at Alexander House as part of the University of Stirling's Centre for Eighteenth-Century Studies writing retreat last week - a great event made all the better by the venue. Thanks again!
Surprised my partner with 2 nights in one of the yurts,was absolutely amazing views were tremendous,the yurt comes with everything you need. Hot tub under the stars was absolutely brilliant,was a bit breezy on the Friday night,i can not fault this place,however some lights on the decking would be a nice extra touch and some sort of retractable perspex wind breaker round the hot tub would just top it off, would definitely go back,have a few friends already trying to book after seeing our pictures! Cannot recommend this glamping enough,very different and quite luxurious,special thanks to jimmy for keeping our wood stocked,will be back again. �
Stunning venue & excellent facilities. Ran a corporate event for a major global brand & it was perfect for this, would highly recommend, same for family/friends/celebrations. Sarah, Fiona & the gang are fantastic, very welcoming & helpful, can't wait to get an opportunity to visit again, thanks
Stunning house set up on a hill with the most awesome views! Just had the most brilliant weekend at my bestie's daughter's Hen Do with 21 of us! The house catered for every need you could imagine! I would highly recommend this wonderful house!
Returned from Alexander House today after celebrating my Sister's Hen Weekend there! The house is beautiful and we had an amazing time. Sam, our host for the weekend, was perfect! She couldn't have done any more to help make our weekend enjoyable and is a fabulous representative of AH! We took advantage of the catered Hen Package and were not disappointed. The food and entertainment were superb. Sam had it all organised to perfection and the whole weekend was fun, relaxed and memorable. Would love to return.
Myself and my 19 friends are just back from our 2nd weekend at this fab house. We just love it and it’s booked again for next year. We make this our girly xmas weekend and hav a theme party on the Saturday night after we hav our xmas dinner which 2 of the girls cook for us and are amazing at it. We even do xmas jumpers and jammies too ����xxx
My whole family just spent 3 nights at Alexander House celebrating my Mum's 80th Birthday. We had a wonderful time. House was immaculate and so comfortable and every detail has been thought of. We had 21 people aged 3 to 80 and everyone loved it! Fiona, the housekeeper was so helpful too. Highly recommended! Thank you.
Me and my husband had a lovely stay at the heather yurt, very quirky and quaint, views where stunning and so peaceful, would highly recommend can’t wait until we return!
Loved the yurt was there 2 weekends ago fab sitting in the hot tub with the snow all round would definitely recommend x
Just spent the most relaxing a fun weekend with the best company at Alexander House. Set in stunning scenery, the house is spacious and welcoming, a home from home with plenty of room for everyone to hang out together in the kitchen or find a quiet space to enjoy a book or snooze. Do take the time to walk up the hill behind the house and soak in the inspiring scenery, truly amazing! Highly recommend this to groups wanting an all round time out from the bustle of everyday, noisy and hectic lives.
Just home from a two night stay in the heather yurt, absolutely amazing! Will most definitely be back and will be spreading the word about this lovely place! Stunning views and Jimmy and Fiona were so accommodating and couldn’t be anymore helpful! Loved it!!
Just back from my Daughter's Hen weekend. we were a party of 21 so the house was full but never felt crowded. We spent the whole time in the kitchen as it is huge, has amazing views, lovely big couches and a huge kitchen table that everyone could sit round. We had an Indian takeaway on the Friday night which was lovely (Delivered to the house). The girls had a lot of fun in the hot tub, again which has amazing views. On Saturday we braved the snow to go for a walk and a few of the girls went sledging (Sledges provided by the house). Saturday night my Daughter had a Great Gatsby theme which fitted in well with the decor of the house. We booked Anne Lovat to cater dinner for us (Link on the house website) The food was fantastic and Anne had laid the table beautifully, she served dinner and cleaned up so we were free to have a nice time chatting and not worrying about having the dishes to do. We spent Saturday night round the log fire which was lovely. I could go on an on about all the plus points and cannot give you any negative points. My Daughter and her friends are talking about a return visit in the Summer. Ps every room was lovely and as we allocated the rooms on a first come basis even the last girls to arrive did not feel that they were left with the room nobody wanted. Beds were so comfortable and the rooms were all lovely and warm. I would also like to mention the lovely lady (Sorry I cannot remember your name) who was at the house to show us around and came to help the caterer on Saturday night. She was fantastic and is a credit to the house.
Just back from a fabulous stay at Alexander House and will be recommending it to everyone! We had an absolute ball for my Hen weekend. Lots of space, beautiful rooms and bathrooms - everything you could think of is there! What a beautiful house. Thank you for letting us stay!
Just back after a two night stay in the bramble yurt, absolutely amazing, the views are spectacular and the accommodations is top notch, can't wait to return �
Just arrived home after 4 fabulous nights in Heather Yurt and feel like I have left part of me behind! It is impossible to describe the wonderful experience of staying at Alexander House but here goes. A lovely warm welcome from Fiona and Jimmy on our arrival who very helpfully showed us how things worked and explained all the important things we needed to know. It was reassuring to know they were always on hand should we have needed them for anything. Thanks to their clear instructions we didn't need anything except our wood supply replenishing, and Jimmy very kindly not only stocked the wood pile but reset both our stove and hottub for us. Every luxury had been carefully thought out and added, from the faux fur throws to the lovely soft towels, French linen bedding, complimentary slippers and even a bottle of prosecco in the fridge!! Then there is the yurt itself - one of the most comfortable beds I've slept in and a fabulous roll top bath to luxuriate in with lovely natural toiletries supplied! We managed to master the hottub temperature control and following Fiona's helpful advice remembered to light the stove before going in the tub so the yurt was toasty warm on our return from stargazing each evening.
We tried out both the camping stove and the gas BBQ and they were really easy and we loved the outdoor cooking experience.
The neighbours were wonderfully friendly and we loved waking up to their calls each morning. The sound of sheep, calves and pheasants was so refreshing, no traffic or human voices here - the pheasants were definitely the loudest and funniest to watch! The pathways around the yurt were full of tiny toads and we were also lucky enough to spot wild deer while out wandering about - magical!!!
We found great places to eat in Auchterarder and during our five days visited Loch Lomond, Glen Eagles, Pitlochry, Blair Atholl, Stirling, St Andrews, Dundee, Perth and Anstruther - and a few more - Alexander House is so well placed for exploring this very beautiful part of Scotland.
We will definitely be returning many times to this wonderful haven of peace and tranquility. Just proves that it is possible to exist without TV and WiFi!! Thank you for some very magical memories.
I have just had my henny here this weekend and I have to say I have been to many houses for This kind of occasion and it was by far the most professional, luxurious and clean house I've visited. The little touches of shampoo and face towels, extra towels, tea and coffee etc were very much appreciated even outdoor pool was heated and the hot tub continued to stay warm. We always had great warm running water for showers/baths too. You could tell it was a very loved property and we are now looking into trying to do this again! Thank you so much Alexander House you exceeded expectations
Had a wonderful weekend at AH with friends recently. A really lovely place to stay. The views are very special as is the house. Loved the hot tub and even went swimming in January! Would definitely visit again. Thank you.
Fantastic venue for Joanne’s 50th Big House Party we had a ball. Had everything we could have asked for to celebrate on our girls weekend away. Hot tub, swimming pool and the bracing walk into Auchterarder to blow away your hangover. Would highly recommend this stunning house
Amazing weekend staying in Bramble the yurt. Log fire, hot tube and amazing scenery, what more can you ask for? Defo recommend it to everyone, Already have a few friends looking into it. Book soon before you are disappointed to miss out!
