Tower O'Ess, Glen Tanar

The Perfect Hideaway

Tucked beneath towering Scots pines and with the river flowing gently past, Tower O’Ess is the ultimate romantic bolthole. Sink into the super-king bed or soak in the double-ended roll-top bath as the fire crackles. With no schedule to keep, time slows and the glen’s calm takes over.

Historic Charm, Modern Comfort

Dating back to the height of the Victorian era, Tower O’Ess blends original features — including its quirky gatehouse pulley system — with every contemporary comfort. Outside, a fairy-lit hot tub looks out to the woods, the perfect spot for a night under the stars.

A Landmark with a Story

Designed and built between 1871 and 1873 as an imposing entrance to Glen Tanar, the tower was later converted in 1918 by Lord Glentanar, Thomas Coats. Today, its spirit remains — a fusion of heritage and renewal, reimagined for modern explorers.
