Luxury cottage in Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park

Appletree Cottage is a spacious, bright, recently purpose-built luxury self-catering lodge set in the peaceful and spectacular surroundings of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. Sleeping up to 8 people in four bedrooms - each with its own shower, wash basin and WC, Appletree features a large living space full of natural daylight with huge picture windows looking southwards across open countryside to the Kilpatrick Hills, 4 miles distant.


Eco-friendly, the cottage (EPC band B) is well insulated. Hot water and heating are powered by a district heating biomass boiler which uses locally sourced sustainable timber. There is a wood-burning stove for added cheer in the winter.

Mobility impaired users will find easy access to the ground floor living space and adjoining ground floor en-suite bedroom and patio as they are all on one level. There is ample space to turn a wheelchair(please see separate details)

Set in its own private garden, the cottage has a south-facing private patio accessible through a huge glass sliding door from the living space for alfresco dining.

Children (but not pets, as we keep the cottage clear for allergy sufferers) are welcome, and we can provide a travel cot, high chair and toddler chair if required.

​This is the perfect spot to sit back and engage in some wildlife spotting, and even better, you won't have to go far to see some of Scotland’s rarer and iconic animals and birds within the national park. Also popular with stargazers as the skies are dark with no nearby street lighting.

Although in a rural setting, Appletree is ideal for exploring Glasgow, Stirling, Loch Lomond and the Trossachs.
