Alexander House is a luxury exclusive-use country house and event venue near Gleneagles in Perthshire, Scotland. Designed by renowned architect Robert Adam and built in 2009 on the site of a historic farmstead, it combines classic grandeur with contemporary comfort. The property is available for large group stays, hen parties, weddings, corporate retreats, and family celebrations, and is owned and run by the Lewis family.
Alexander House is set high in the Perthshire Hills, just 2.5 miles from the world-famous Gleneagles and less than one hour from both Edinburgh and Glasgow. Stirling and Perth are approximately 20 minutes away. The nearest train station is Gleneagles, just 7 minutes from the house.
The main house offers nine beautifully appointed bedrooms, while an additional two-bedroom annexe allows for even greater flexibility, accommodating up to 28 guests and four dogs. Smaller groups can book the East Wing for up to 16 guests at a reduced rate November to February.
