About this property

Marble Lodge - two bedroom cottage on the banks of the River Tilt

  • Set on the banks of the River Tilt, Marble Lodge is five miles up the Glen Tilt track, which is easily accessible by car if driven with care. Originally a shepherd’s cottage, Marble Lodge is a charming and comfortable lodge sleeping up to four guests in two bedrooms, in addition, there is a large sitting room with an open fire. Surrounded by the wildlife and wilderness of Glen Tilt, Marble Lodge is well situated for long walks along the pony tracks and several Munros (hills over 3000ft) are within a day’s hike. Angling enthusiasts will particularly enjoy the salmon fishing available seasonally on the River Tilt, and for non-anglers, the sight of these fish as they make their way upstream to spawn is a spectacle.

Marble Lodge, Glen Tilt

Fantastic cottage in an amazing part of the world. Cottage has everything you need, very comfortable and exceptionally clean. Location is mind blowing, such a beautiful area, abundant wildlife, fantastic walks, fresh air and photo opportunities. This feels like switching off. Lovely cosy cottage which I look forward to visiting again.

A perfect escape

This has been our second visit to Marble Lodge and we can’t wait to return next year. The location is incredible and the lodge itself is a complete home from home; so clean and comfortable. Plenty of logs for the fire, faster internet than at home and a very comfy bed. We absolutely love it. The team at Atholl are lovely too.

A deeply restorative family holiday

Our family of four stayed at Marble Lodge for the week and had a fantastic time. Loads for our two little ones to explore - nature, adventure playgrounds, cake shops, castles and more. The accommodation is warm and cozy with spectacular views outside and a crackling open fire inside.

Cozy cottage, amazing location.

We really enjoying our stay at Marble Lodge, the cottage itself was really comfortable and well equipped, but it's the location that really makes this place special. Great walks from the doorstep, we were able to bag some local munro's, and made use of the free pass to the castle too where we were able to see some beautiful antiques as well as learn more of the history of the estate and owning families. Will definitely be looking at other properties available for future visits.

The glen is a wilderness haven and Marble Lodge is perfectly placed for long and short walks, fishing and shopping in the local villages. The cottage is very comfortable and a generous welcome pack was provided on arrival along with a good supply of logs and coal. Looking forward to returning again in the future,

Great stay at Marble Lodge

We had a great half-term break at Blair Atholl. The cottage is wonderful; secluded and remote in the most magnificent glen. We had a couple of storms, and a day's snowfall, but there was plenty of firewood, and we went on some lovely walks through the snow and rain with our dog. Everyone was very helpful as well, one of the fuses went and someone came to help get the lights back on without any problems.

magical stay!

We had a magical stay at the Marble lodge. We are still a little bit in aww about the beautifull view we had every day. The little cottage between the beautifull, magical mountains!! The place is a reel zen place. We went to the water a couple of times and we enjoyed great walks. We did our first Munro and we are hooked. Blair Castle is great to visit. We hope to come back. It had a special place in our hearts!!

Stunning location great fishing and walking

You cannot beat the location with fantastic walks from the door and wildlife. Fishing on beat 2 productive. Glen Tilt is a beautiful Glen. Cottage comfortable warm and welcoming with all facilities you would want. Bottled water for drinking didn’t impact our break. Shower pressure is low but plenty of hot water. We loved our stay and will be back

Stunning and tranquil location!

The Marble Lodge is located in a secluded, beautiful setting along the River Tilt and surrounded by high glens that make this stay so relaxing. The lodge is modern, very comfortable and well-appointed. We could have stayed much longer! We enjoyed lots of hiking, exploring, Blair Castle, town of Pitlochry and a wonderful dinner at the Loft Restaurant. Highly recommend stay. Of note, it’s approximately 6 miles down a dirt road. It’s very navigable but we had a small rental car and it was a bit of bumpy ride to and from the lodge.

Can't wait to stay again!

Wow, wow, wow. This is truly a special place to stay. It is about a 20-25-minute drive into the estate past the main entrance for the Blair Castle, but it is so worth it. How often can you be entirely on your own (other than the sheep!) in a glen in Scotland with a beautiful river and stunning mountains just outside your door? The interior is more "rustic" than a high-end, modern home, but it goes with the experience. You feel as if you are part of the history of this home. The main bedroom bed is equivalent to a US double/full, but it was very comfortable and had quality linens. The second bedroom is much bigger. It was just two of us, so we used the floor space in the second bedroom to spread out our suitcases. The kitchen is well-equipped and easy to use. The "family room" is so cozy, with two small sofas and a fireplace. Wood was provided. Signs recommend not drinking or using the water to brush your teeth, but large bottles of water were provided (extras in the barn). The sheep are frequent visitors. We got groceries in Aviemore on the way down from Inverness. There is not a large grocery close by, so I recommend this. Easy visit to the castle and gardens (we did them over two days) and gorgeous hikes right from the lodge. We certainly see why families stay here over and over again. If it is available, book it!!

Wonderful place

Fantastic location, incredibly beautiful nature, river next to it, sheep walking by the house. A dream. This is why Marble Lodge is worth a stay. We only finde it a pity that there is a lot dust on each and in every radiator. The kitchen so stove inside was very contaminated, a lot of grease, baking tray completely dirty, water jug completely calcified...it doesn't have to be

Unique Location

This cottage would not be for everyone, but that should be obvious from the description. The only thing that surprised me was the furnishings, which were a bit of a jumble. A decent bedside table would have been appreciated. Furnishings and decor were like being back in the 1960s, but appliances were modern. You can now stream programmes on the smallish TV, although one night that wouldn't work at all (it was on again the next night) so that was unexpected bonus. With an old, low-slung car I worried about the drive in, but taking it carefully it was no problem. I loved the seclusion and the beauty, and would happily return.

Another visit after years of coming/ this one was different

I have been coming for years to marble lodge with my dog , this time my youngest got through the broken fence not once but 3 times. I reported and maintenance came out to repair the first hole but whole fence full of holes and needs repaired. Even the gate is broken.. would’ve thought this would have been done before allowing dogs to visit. Thank goodness no sheep around / or cars which she would been underneath and thankfully she didn’t go far as we would never have found her if she did . We were in garden at the time as always but didn’t see hole (s) till she was through them. Meant the whole holiday was spent around monitoring fence when at house

Our second stay within a year

We loved it so much in 2024 that we returned with our young adult children in 2025! Above all, the setting is everything for Marble Lodge. You are accepting a more rustic property for its stunning location, offering peace and privacy. This trip we did have a few issues. We lost all water at one point, which is quite an inconvenience when you have five people. We had difficulty connecting with the right people to handle the issue (due to our international phones and lack of signal - we didn't realize there was a house phone for a while!). However, the issue was resolved relatively quickly after we spoke to someone. Later, we lost the hot water and had to call for help to fix it. The washing machine is complicated to use, at least for Americans, as it is VERY different than our system. All of these things can be overlooked in the big picture, due to the kind help we received from the team, but it did impact our plans because we had to wait to get everyone showers. The one thing I would like to see fixed is the bird nests under the eaves of the house. They were not there last August. My son counted just under 50 nests. The birds are constantly flying and diving in and out of the nests, and with lots of birds comes lots of bird "deposits." Even the front door had several wet gifts from the birds. Since it is daylight for so long, the birds are active for most of the day.
