Otter, Portnellan Estate
Glen Dochart, Stirlingshire
Otter is an outstanding chalet on Portnellan Estate which has recently undergone a full internal refurbishment. Privately owned by the same family for nearly 40 years, Portnellan Estate is the ideal location for a holiday. Fishing for fresh run wild salmon and trout is available on the estate lochs and river. There are on road and off road mountain bike trails for all abilities and kayaks and rowing boats are free to use on the river and loch.
Clay pigeon shooting can be arranged on request. Indoor activities include a games room with table tennis, table football and a pool table and there is also a small gym.
Situated in the heart of the central Highlands of Scotland with spectacular loch, glen and mountain views all around Otter's setting is magnificent where a true highland landscape awaits you and it is often complimented on the abundance of bird and wild life that can be regularly seen. We can even offer fresh eggs most mornings from the ducks on the pond and the chickens that roam freely.
Portnellan Estate has a small shop selling homemade meals and fresh organic meat from a local farm, perfect for BBQ’ing. Local information and a variety of board games and DVDs are also available.

Accommodation:
Relax within an open plan living space and a comfy L shaped sofa and arm chair. A walnut effect wooden flooring leads to a galley kitchen with recently refurbished units. All walls throughout are decorated in Farrow and Ball colours with all new soft furnishings throughout. A bathroom with shower over, heated towel rail. Two bedrooms, one king-size double and one twin.
From the open plan living, dining and kitchen area a sliding patio door opens onto your private balcony with garden furniture (BBQ is available to hire) With an unrestricted view to the summit of Ben More and the cascading Ben More burn less than 30 metres from the private balcony, Otter is one of our most secluded chalets. It is often commented by guests that Otter is a very peaceful and relaxing property. It is not uncommon to see nobody apart from me occasionally walking up to check upon the private water supply on Ben More burn that supplies Portnellan. Otter's situation is also known for the abundance of bird life and animals including red squirrel, deer and Pinemarten.
