There's a secret seasoned travellers already know

That some places are best experienced beyond the typical peak travel times. 

From October to March the Highlands take on an entirely different character. Autumn colours give way to crisp mornings, mist rolls gently across the glens and every woodland walk feels more magical. It's a season of changing light, crackling fires and the opportunity to enjoy coorie living at it's finest. 

While many wait for summer, this is when the Highlands reveal their true colours. Fewer crowds, more space and more time to experience the season Scotland was made for.

Experience the Highlands Differently

The 'off' season isn't about missing out, it's about discovering more.

  • More space to explore
  • More spectacular seasonal dining
  • More opportunities to indulge in coorie living
  • More starry skies
  • More exclusive seasonal offers

Seasonal Activities

Spend your days wrapped up exploring the outdoors before returning to warm fires, exceptional food and and a proper Highland welcome Pine Trees. 

A Place to Slow Down

Every great Highland day out deserves an equally memorable return. 

Choose from beautifully restored bedrooms in the Main House, the cosy Heatherbank Cottage and the spacious suites in Heatherbank House or our dog-friendly Coach House, because no one deserves to miss out on the fun. Wherever you choose to stay you'll find thoughtful luxury, comforting interiors and a genuine sense of home away from home. 

Savour the Season

The changing seasons shape everything we do at Fauna, our destination restaurant. Our menus celebrate the finest ingredients from Scotland's fields, forests and shores, thoughtfully crafted into dishes that capture the flavour of the Highlands. 

After dark, settle into Flora with a dram of whisky, or if the skies are clear, step outside to gather around the firepit beneath a canopy of stars. 

Coorie Living at its Finest

There's a Scottish word that perfectly captures life at Pine Trees: Coorie. More than simply getting cosy, coorie is about slowing down, reconnecting with nature and finding comfort in life's simplest pleasures. It's a reminder that luxury isn't always about doing more, sometimes it's about making space to do less.

At Pine Trees we embrace and believe in a coorie lifestyle - finding warmth and joy in simple, mindful moments, surrounded by the beauty of our landscape.
