  • Eco-friendly glamping in rural St Martins village, Perthshire
  • A 15-minute drive to Scone Palace and Meikleour Beech Hedge
  • Sustainable wooden yurts set in stunning gardens
Keen on an eco-friendly Scottish holiday under canvas – but even keener on one with quite a lot of luxury involved? A stay at Organic Welltree, set in St Martins village in rural Perthshire, places you in well-appointed, comfy yurts with their own private decking set among permaculture gardens. Designed for couples on romantic retreats from daily cares, the site is a peaceful wildlife haven where you’re likely to see roe deer, buzzards, red squirrels, foxes, owls and woodpeckers. In fact, all you’re likely to hear during your stay is birdsong and the soothing burble of St Martins Burn as it runs through the gardens. Built from all-natural materials, the yurts are crafted from sustainable Scottish woods – some up-cycled from whisky barrels – and insulated by Scottish sheep’s wool. Woodburning stoves (one bag of firewood per booking, more can be bought on site) keep you nice and cosy, and are topped with hot plates for prepping snacks. Cups, plates, bowls and cutlery are all provided. Other bonuses in the spacious yurts include hand-made beds with quality linens supplied, and strategically placed windows looking out over the gardens so you get to wake up to flowery views every morning. Guest parking spaces are available on site, and just so you’re aware – the access road from St Martins leads down a rough private track.

Bramble yurt

Liked: The yurt was really cute, well kept, clean and tidy and the organic breakfast was unique and tasted amazing. It made us feel a bit like we were in a health spa, we felt full and satisfied but not over full or loaded. There were lots of little extra touches in the yurt to make our stay special and comfortable, a real attention to detail. We could easily have made more of our stay, we could have cooked on the stove and by having their own available produce to buy in the summer we think it will be worth coming back to try again later in the year.

Disliked: Our only thing I noticed was that the mattresses are single ones pushed together which seems to be quite a continental thing - we prefer a single mattress

From the manager: Dear Morven, thank you very much for your kind and amazing review. About the mattress, our Elder Yurt has single mattress and 2 single duvets. We will add some more informations to the description of the yurts.

The seclusion and how many lovely home made touches made our trip…

Local attractions

There are Scottish landmarks aplenty to explore nearby: at Scone Palace (15 minutes’ drive), you can tour the opulent state rooms, wander the maze and possibly spot red squirrels in acres of sprawling estate grounds. Huntingtower Castle (25 minutes) is a fortified 16th-century castle open for a mosey around its abandoned towers and vast vaulted halls – and for a slice of living history, drive the length of the Meikleour Beech Hedge (15 minutes), planted in 1745 and thought to be the most extensive hedge in the UK at a whopping 580 yards long. To catch a bit of outdoors action, have a gentle amble through pine, larch and spruce woodland in Kinnoull Hill Woodland Park (20 minutes), or take things up a notch on a kayaking white-water adventure along the River Tay from Grandtully (50 minutes). In season, anglers can cast a fly line for Atlantic salmon at Cargill (15 minutes), or try for brown trout at Aberfeldy. Fancy a dram or two to wind up your Perthshire day? Learn about the process of making whisky and sip a few samples at Aberfeldy Distillery (both 55 minutes).
