The Place

Killiehuntly Farmhouse is a restorative place that is informal and cosy. Surrounded by stunning, ever-changing landscapes, it’s a haven of tranquillity and wildlife and a wonderful escape from everyday life.

Glenfeshie Lodge is nestled in a breathtaking location, with views of the mountains, River Feshie, and surrounding ancient woodlands. Built to last, it offers luxurious exclusive-use accommodation and is a fine example of Scots Victorian architecture.

The Role

The Chef team at Killiehuntly will provide a delicious, nourishing breakfast to set guests up for a day in the stunning outdoors, and a hearty shared supper for their evening return. It’s an informal offering but of the highest standards, drawing on our living larder of exceptional seafood, game and livestock.

At Glenfeshie Lodge, our privately catered venue in the heart Glenfeshie Estate, our cooking celebrates the land with seasonal, locally-sourced ingredients crafted into simple yet refined dishes. The Chef team create bespoke menus to cover all meals for our exclusive-use guests, delivering an intimate and authentic dining experience with true Highland warmth.

We are also expanding our offerings for self-catering guests, providing delicious meal packages that are ready to be enjoyed by guests staying in our cottages or bothies. 

We offer a lifestyle that is far removed from urban market demand, yet the kitchen design and equipment we have is of the highest standard, meeting every contemporary need.

Our chef team is a close knit, supportive group that is growing and is as committed to each other and to our health and wellness as we are to proving the best experiences for our small groups of discerning guests.
