A COLLECTION of luxury pods has been unveiled at a 400-year-old Perthshire estate, offering holidaymakers a “peaceful countryside retreat”
Following five years of planning and “significant investment,” the first phase of the £30 million project to deliver state-of-the-art holiday pods has been unveiled by Murrayshall.
Based at the Murrayshall Country Estate, just a short drive from Perth, the 21 luxury accommodations are “thoughtfully positioned” within the natural beauty of the historic grounds.
“Step into a new kind of countryside experience – that's exactly what we've achieved with these exceptional luxury pods,” said Gary Silcock, general manager at Murrayshall.
Silcock added that the luxury pods complement Murrayshall's existing offering of 40 rooms and suites.
“The 50% increase in our accommodation capacity naturally means more employment opportunities will follow, which is fantastic news for our team and the local community,” Silcock said.
“These pods offer something truly special for guests seeking that perfect blend of comfort and connection with nature.”
He added: “Our recent win of Best Hotel Experience at the Central and East of Scotland Thistle Awards regional final on Thursday 11th September comes at a perfect time for the hotel, adding another exceptional experience to our offering. We now offer three different room choices from main house, suites in Balvaird house and luxury pods.”
Developed in partnership with local specialists Armadilla, the luxury accommodation is designed to ensure guests can enjoy modern amenities including underfloor heating, air conditioning and televisions, while maintaining an “essential connection” to the countryside.
“Working with local partners like Armadilla has been essential in creating an authentic Scottish experience that truly reflects our estate's heritage,” added Silcock.
“These partnerships ensure our guests enjoy genuine Scottish luxury while we continue to support the wider Perthshire business community.
“We're also the first in Scotland to work with Sothys, bringing their renowned spa therapists and products directly to the luxury pods, offering something very unique to our guests.”
Beyond the new accommodation, guests can experience award-winning cuisine at the AA Rosette Eòlas restaurant, 27 holes of parkland golf, and diverse outdoor pursuits including axe throwing and quad biking.
The estate's commitment to providing “unforgettable experiences” extends to planned expansions of wellness and leisure facilities, including a state-of-the-art spa and fitness centre, further cementing Murrayshall's position as Scotland's leading countryside retreat destination.
