Peaceful respite

Our extended family of 6 thoroughly enjoyed the space, view, and amenities at this home. The creek view is unbeatable and the hot tub and spacious yard were perfect for our teens.

UCI BMX competitions

Seven of us stayed for two weeks. My three grandsons were competing in the BMX Worlds in Glasgow. We arrived late at night after a long flight from Canada and delayed luggage. Ian had a pot of chilli and homemade scones waiting for us! He was very welcoming and helpful during our stay. We were very comfortable in the cottage and we enjoyed being in the country. People in Balfron were welcoming as well.

Brilliant home n hot tub no matter the weather

My daughters and I had a magical visit to celebrate my birthday. We arrive and enjoyed the hot tub in the rain, woke to a gorgeous day drove 20 minutes to Balmaha and did some hiking and again enjoyed the hot tub. The next day was completely cloudless and we hiked Ben Lomond and we all were aided in our recovery by a long soak in the hot tub. The home is spacious, beautiful and clean with the best part being the bottle of wine and home made scones Ian share for our arrival!! There's a playground for little kids, a trampoline for all and beauty all around. Sure to be a hit with everyone!!

Beautiful Cottage, beautiful surroundings

We spent 3 nights in this wonderful cottage. The property is exactly as listed on vrbo. Ian, the host, was very helpful and the home-baked scones were a very nice welcome surprise. The cottage is surrounded by pastures with lots of sheep and cows, and the views from the living room, hot tub and master bedroom are wonderful. Vey convenient for exploring the Loch Lomond area.

Great Base Camp

Wow is this place amazing! Ian brings old fashioned, high quality hospitality. He makes you feel at home immediately with scones and wine and helps you to see Scotland as a local. We were very comfortable in the cottage which had everything we need for both children and for adults. The hot tub was great and the kids LOVED the creek and play structures. Using the cottage as our base, we explored Loch Lomond NP, Trossachs NP, Glasgow, Stirling, and Falkirk. Coming back "home" each evening to cook and relax was amazing. As frequent travelers and VRBO guests, this property is be far my family's favorite. Thanks for an amazing stay.

Family Time to celebrate a Special Birthday

The layout was perfect for three generations of family. Grandparents had the en-suite downstairs bedroom, parents and their children had the two en-suite bedrooms upstairs. The hot tub proved a great success with everyone and the children’s play area was perfect for the three children aged from 3 to 10 years. The rear garden with access to the river at the bottom allowed for lots of exercise for an energetic Labrador. All in all, perfect for everyone!

Perfect Place to Relax and Unwind

Despite this being a working trip, we have all left feeling relaxed and recuperated. The location is absolutely stunning and I have loved starting my mornings stood by the river at the bottom of the garden listening to the water ripples and the birds. Ian is an amazing, generous and kind host who made us feel so welcome and was always on hand to point us in the right direction. Property is beautiful, well finished, clean and generously sized (the pictures don't do the room sizes justice!). Our dog loved exploring and the humans loved the views from the hot tub! We will definitely be back
