The Tabernacle #HighlandSpaces

The Tabernacle is an amazing space and the perfect place to rest, retreat, and reset life. With an enormous wood burner to keep you cozy whilst snuggled up on one of the oversized sofas. Floor to ceiling altar windows means that even if the weather is properly Scottish you can enjoy the far- reaching views all day long. An ultra-comfy Kingsize bed that benefits from crisp white luxurious Egyptian cotton bedding. Your own exclusive hot tub awaits with breathtaking views across the Tay valley.

The master bedroom is located in the mezzanine which has spectacular views over the main chapel space.

There is a further bedroom in the old vestry that contains a cozy boxed bunk bed with two full-sized singles. The second vestry houses a magnificent double-ended roll top cast iron bath, big enough for two. And there's everything else you'd expect; a fully equipped kitchen, TV, and interiors that offer perfect comfort and rustic style. Your own hot tub awaits with one of the best views in Scotland.

From The Tabernacle there are endless walks to be had, fabulous also for cyclists and runners, a wild larder on your doorstep for foraging, you can embrace Scotland's right-to- roam rules. Taking on the terrain is welcomed, whether that's climbing mountains or a gentle stroll to the hot tub.
The definition of Tabernacle is a moving sacred space. It is unsurprising, therefore, that our Tabernacle did not start its life in its present location.

Until 2004 the Tabernacle resided in the market town of Aberfeldy and was called the Mary of Mercy Church. Originally it was graded as a B-listed building but was declassified and scheduled for demolition. As it was designed as a flat pack there was a way to dismantle it without destroying it. It had to be taken down and numbered and stored until a suitable site could be found to re-erect it. In 2008 it was rebuilt in its current location.

It has been a labor of love to restore this building and re-purpose it into one of our amazing Highland Spaces. The Tabernacle is a house that enfolds you in warmth and history.

We provide contactless check in for our guests. If you have any problems. we are on hand to guild you via the Airbnb App, email or telephone

The Village is a hamlet of houses. it is very safe and quiet. The Tabernacle is situated at the end of a drive and the top of the village with epic undisturbed far reaching views across the Tay Valley.

To get to The Tabernacle you will need a car. we are 10 mins from the lovely market town of Aberfeldy which has a nice range of shops and restaurants as well as a great cinema. From the property you can set off on a number of beautiful walks. The surrounding area is also a popular cycling destination. We are 10 mins from loch Tay with a host of exciting leisure pursuits.
