Loch lomond farm cottages.
A lovely warm welcome from the host.
The property was pleasantly larger in side than first impressions gave.
It was beautifully decorated and very well equiped for all ages. it was cosy and felt very homely, lovely rural views from the rear and a nice seating area in the back garden.
Parking outside the property was great and enabled us to vist the local area and beyond eaisly. Would definitely recommend a stay here.

A Hidden Gem
A clean and comfortable cottage in a great location for a variety of different activities. We went on a cruise on Loch Katrine; visited the Kelpies and Falkirk Wheel; toured Stirling Castle and the Battle of Bannockburn centre; hiked up Dumgoyne, Ben A'an and Ben Lomond; took a tasting tour at the Glengoyne distillery; visited Balmaha on the shores of Loch Lomond. Carol was an amazing host and the cottage was very accessible for my elderly mother.
