Private Cottage Bothy near Loch Lomond & Stirling

Out in countryside but not too far from amenities Loved the cottage as it had everything you needed although could have a floor brush rather than small dustpan/brush set. Loved mezzanine but defo not for anyone with mobility issues. We brought own supplies such as coffee etc but this was all within the cottage. Loved the bottle of prosecco 😊 great wee break for relaxation

Nothing

Super cosy and peaceful place to stay. In great proximity to many different places worth visiting! The log burner was perfect after an October day out seeing the local area!

We had everything we needed in the bothy, looked small from the outside but big inside

I couldn't go upstairs to the bed as it was higher up than it looked on photos, so I slept on the sofa bed. Unfortunately my husband couldn't sleep on the sofa bed as he was very uncomfortable so he slept in the bed.

Really enjoyed our couple of nights staying here. Could of stayed for longer ! Loved all the extra touches that made you feel right at home. Cleaned to a high standard, wood provided for fire, and a bottle of bubbly too ! A great base to further explore Loch Lomond and the Trossachs and the surrounding area

Fantastic stay at the Private Cottage Bothy. Lovely cosy Bothy which is well equipped with all your needs both in the kitchen and bathroom. We had a lovely two day stay whilst attending a friends wedding and hope to be able to return to explore the Glen and enjoy the Bothy more another trip.

Nothing the Bothy was as described, communication was excellent.

Klein maar comfortabel huisje waar je prima een paar dagen kunt vertoeven. Minpuntje is dat je niet vanuit het huisje kan wandelen omdat er een erg drukke weg langsloopt waar hard wordt gereden.

The Bothy is a small but well equipped place. Clean and comfortable. It’s a unique stay, in a beautiful area. The mezzanine sleeping area is very comfortable and though it’s high, the steps are wide and secure. Lovely private garden area with seating which I wish the weather had allowed us to use! Fabulous welcome box which was much appreciated!

Nice cozy stay, easy to find and clear communication. Fireplace was lovely, location of the bothy is near a busy road but you don't hear or see it inside.

Very pretty setting and the bothy was just as described. Everything thought of and more besides. Didn't need to light the burner but would imagine it would be fantastic in the autumn/winter.

Everything about the bothy is absolutely brilliant, from location to accessibility not to mention the cleanliness This is all nothing compared to the simplistic, quirky and beautiful decorated interior with a beautiful log burner fire which we enjoyed and all materials provided and arranged ready for our arrival Couldn’t recommend this place enough although hope that doesn’t come back to bite us when we look to rebook!!

There was nothing not to like

A fantastic location from which to explore Loch Lomond, the place felt bigger inside than I expected and was perfect for myself, my husband and the dog! Worked perfectly for us, we'd stay again if we were in the area!

An immaculate well furnished bothy in a beautiful area. Very dog friendly. The owner Kim was very helpful with good communication.

We had a great stay, it is a lovely place with a great little garden! We enjoyed it very much

Ideal location for bagging another Munro. Very peaceful with everything you need.

Na

Locatie, sfeervol, schoon, alles aanwezig wat we nodig hadden, gezellige open haard. Lag aan drukke weg maar die hoorden we niet. L

Het slapen op de vide was voor mijn man toch lastig. Gelukkig was er ook een bedbank

Easy check in, lots of living space, lovely private garden with comfy seats and a nice view. Close by to lots of lovely hikes.

Slightly early check out of 10.30am

The Bothy was a comfortable romantic getaway. It was perfect!! The host Kim sent excellent communication including directions. There was some treats awaiting us in the fridge for our arrival and plenty logs and kindling for the burner. The spot was quiet and tranquil, we could not have wished for a more perfect bolt hole to get away from the hustle for a couple of nights …highly recommended!!

Een heel schattig huis , met alle voorzieningen , wel fit zijn om trap naar de slaapkamer te kunnen beklimmen ; overigens heerlijk bed hoor ; gezellig tuintje ook . Helaas wel aan een drukke weg gelegen, dus lopen naar Buchlyvie, slechts 1km verderop was lastig , zeker met hond aan de lijn , dus met de auto gedaan ; ging ook prima We hebben 2 hele fijne dagen gehad , genoeg te ontdekken,,samen met onze hond

A lovely little cottage, nestled in its own Glen. Everything you need for a short stay. The fire was lit on our arrival which was appreciated on a very rainy day. The views from the cottage are stunning. Great location for Lomond and the Trossachs. The host was friendly, helpful and responsive. Really recommend a stay here.

Good location close to Stirling and also close to the Trossachs national park. Took dogs and very clean, small garden access for the dogs.

Bed is on mezzanine floor up quite a steep ladder was OK for a few days but for longer stays a proper bed would be better.

Had a lovely stay! Really cosy place and loved the fire - perfect place to unwind for a few days. We had a dog and the private Glen was perfect for sniffs!

Very cozy, had all it needed, location was great and close to plenty of walks. We loved staying in the bitty for a couple of nights with the dog. The owner was very communicative and has a lot of thoughts for details!

Nothing, all was spotless!

Lovely accommodation and very responsive host.

the property was compact and owners had thought of everything

loved everything about the property

Very cute and cosy, loved the mezzanine bed and lovely wee glen at the bac. Not to mention the fire made it soo hot in the bothy, pure relaxation 😎

Had a dog so bit hard to take for walk just outside as quite a busy road but we managed ok and so close to loch lomond can't complain really!

This Bothy is really nicely decorated and cosy. It’s surrounded by fields with sheeps roaming around and feels really peaceful. We really appreciated our stay and would recommend this place.

The Bothy was small and cosy but the lay out was maximised to make it spacious. The place is absolutely spotless. We stayed on Hogmanay for 2 nights and the log burner ensured we were warm and cosy the whole trip. I took my airfryer with us and between that and the facilities there, we cooked our breakfast and meals with no problems. We had our wee dog with us and he loved it too. We took him a walk in to Buchlyvie on New Year's Day where we had a couple of drinks in the 1851 Tavern where dogs are more than welcome. A perfect stay and we will definitely return this year.

Nothing.

Cosy bothy, which was nice, quiet, and an ideal place to get away from the hustle and bustle. Ideal that we were able to take out dog too.

The bothy was very comfy and clean, everything was well thought of for the guests and we couldn’t think of anything that could have been done more to make the stay more comfortable they were amazing

Lovely, cosy stay at The Bothy. Well equipped, clean and dog friendly. We enjoyed the warmth of the stove as the stormy weather raged on.

We had a lovely stay at the bothy. It is a house in the garden of the owners of the bothy, but all the contact was with travelnest. We loved making fires and they were very kind to leave some treats for our dog! If you are afraid of hights beware the bed is in the open attic which you have to get up to using the stairs. But they provide a gate for security whilst sleeping!

We loved this property. Was well equipped and a super short drive to some amazing hikes, or the incredible town of sterling with beautiful restaurants. Nick Nairn’s restaurant is a few miles down the road and it was sensational. Property was easy to find, super cosy and a nice break from busy towns.

Nothing

Nice place, lot of care being put into details. The bothy is fully equiped. A place to come back dor sure!

Nice small house. Well equipped. Heating with chimney. Close to the main road but quiet.

Very very very cute and nice place. Smartly furnished house, small from outside, big inside!! We loved house´s decoration, so many greetings to fluffy cows, sheeps, dogs and ducks in. the owner thought of everything, we even had basic food and prosecco available. I highly recommend!

Beautifully clean, all you need for an overnight stay. Very comfortable and warm. Bowl of fruit, water and biscuits very much appreciated.

Nothing, all as described and expected. A small 1 ring hob would be my suggestion to the kitchen area

I cannot recommend this place more, it was perfect, few little extras on arrival ie biscuits milk tea coffee and a bottle of fizz.. You have created something to be very proud of. We even booked a extra night instead of moving on

The Bothy was immaculate, I couldn't fault it. The host had thought of everything, from leaving notes and instructions for every appliance, to leaving bread, milk and even wine ready for arrival.

N/A

Nice en cosy house. Little bit difficult to find. Very kind family, very helpfull! Nice place to stay!

Heerlijk verblijfje en de host denkt echt aan alles om het je helemaal naar je zin te maken!

The owners thought of everything you might need, lovely garden and glen. Great location in the heart of places we wanted to visit. Good stop over on the way back from Barra. Very comfy and cosy and the prosecco and shortbread was a nice treat.

The bothy of Kim is perfectly located to allow visiting Stirling and Loch Lomond easily. The place is comfortable and cozy, with all needed amenities and a nice access to the garden and the Glen besides it. Kim was easily reachable by email and gave us all needed instructions to ensure easy access to the place. We'd definitely be back if visiting the area again!

Excellent set up , nicely out of the way , all the facilities u could need .

As the bed was on a mezzanine level it was solely a mattress at the top of the stairs . I appreciate in this instance it wasn’t possible for the mattress to be raised any further- only a very slight negative.

Secluded location and all amenities on hand or nearby

Nothing I can think of

Fantastic property Fantastic location Fantastic value

N/a

The place was absolutely amazing, very accommodating and friendly hosts. Would definitely recommend.

netter Gastgeber niedliches Haeuschen zum Wohlfuehlen alles drin was man braucht und alles in einem guten Zustand auch draussen kleiner Garten zum sitzen

man hoert die nahegelegene Strasse, Fenster sind aber gut, d.h. bei geschlossenem Fenster ist das eigentlich kein Problem man kann nicht gut zu Fuss irgendwo hinlaufen/spazieren gehn und muss immer ein Stueck die schmale Strasse (ohne Fussweg, ca 100km/h erlaubt) entlang

private but not isolated. compact but had all necessities. clean and cosy

we were very pleasantly surprised by this bothy experience! it’s even cozier than the photos suggest— would love to come back!

Near Loch Lomond and Stirling. Well equipped. Excellent wifi.

Gorgeous Bothy to stay in, so well equipped, super cosy, loved the little touches, milk in fridge, biscuits...just lovely

We loved our cosy stay. It was very clean and well equipped.

Great little bothy in lovely grounds. Had a great little stay

liebevoll eingerichtetes Tinyhouse, sehr sauber, Gastgeber haben viele hilfreiche Hinweise und Informationen aufgeschrieben, u. a. über Umgebung, Holzofen anmachen etc sehr höflich, diskret Hochbett

Tout était parfait, la maison, les hôtes très sympathiques, l'endroit magique (nous adorons l’écosse et ses habitants). Nous recommandons chaudement cette adresse 👍

Lovely cosy little place. Perfect for 2

The Bothy was really nicely furnished with a lovely log burner that kept the space cosy. The bed was very comfortable and the whole place was extremely clean and well presented. We were close to amenities and had easy access to some nice walks - we chose to stay in wooded areas which kept us out of the rain!

A great little find with everything you need for a quiet few days. Plenty of places to visit after a short drive. Will be back.

The bothy was super clean and very cosy with a lovely glen. The staff was really nice.

The bed on the mezzanine was not super comfortable.

cleanliness,everything had been thought of amazingly set out. FANTASTIC

nothing

The cottage was immaculately clean and had everything we could possibly need and more. The outdoor space was lovely and perfect for our little dog. Parking was right beside the cottage, quiet and safe.

We can't think of anything negative to say about this lovely place.

Very clean and private. Log burner was great with excellent instructions! Nice to have tea, coffee and milk and they even left us a bottle of wine.

Would have preferred a checkout later than 10am. Bathroom fan is very squeaky

Outstanding little bothy, in a great location and extremely cosy especially with the log burner, heated the entire place all through the night, would highly recommend this place

We had the best stay here, very cosy with the fire on. Perfect condition and has everything you need and more. Great location.

spotless and cosy

nothing

Clean, warm and tidy, but we went home a day early.

They have a glen to take the dog out in. My garden is longer. No use for a dog.

Very cosy little cottage in a great location close to Lake of Menteith and other lochs. The cottage was extremely neat and tidy and the fireplace was awesome. Keeps the cottage very warm.

amazing

Had everything we needed, excellent facilities, excellent location

the bothy was very well setup and very comfortable, great location, loved the bottle of wine and woodfire

Really nice cracking little bothy everything u need shame about the weather 😃

Had a lovely stay, so quiet and peaceful. Lovely cosy wee bothy away from the hustle and bustle. Love it, 2nd time we've stayed

We had a lovely stay. Everything needed was there. Would recommend!

Super cute and cosy little Bothy. Spent 3 days here alone with my two small dogs, I felt very safe and comfortable. It’s the perfect little hideaway if needing some time to chill and relax. The Bothy has lots of nice home comforts and is set in a really beautiful location. Really strong good wifi (which was good as I had a bit of work to do) the fire is the best touch, windy and wet outside but sitting there with a glass of wine and the fire roaring was just perfect. Thanks so much for a perfect stay. I will hopefully be back at some point in the future. Kelly xx

Great location for Stirling and Loch Lomond

It was very clean and they had everything there for us. it was superb. Also milk in the fridge for a cuppa when we arrived. 😁

Luogo accogliente e romantico. Super la stufa a legna. Top la posizione. Merita davvero

very quaint and well equipped

very close to very busy road

Fab little place in the heart of scotland! We would definitely return. The owners were great and fab communication x

The bothy is lovely and homey, perfect escape into the countryside. Great location, very comfortable, fantastic service. Highly recommended!

Lovely location, beautiful views and great accomodation.

Perfect, central, cute nest to hike accross the trossachs and enjoy a calm evening. We would definitely come back if we have the chance to.

De cottage is klein maar alles is heel goed verzorgd en straalt gastvrijheid uit. De trap naar de slaapzolder is steil. Niet zo geschikt als je slecht ter been bent maar voor ons (70+) toch geen probleem. We hebben ook genoten van de mooie tuin. Echt een aanrader, deze cottage.Prima uitvalsbasis voor de Trossachs

The bothy inside was beautifully fitted out .Home from home The location was tranquil

struggled a little to just locate where it was . but understood the instructions more when we drove past it twice

Super location for exploring the Trossachs, beautifully appointed, friendly and helpful owners, dog friendly.

The mezzanine sleeping area at the top of the steps was a bit precarious.

Incredible place. Looks even better in real life. Very cosy, clean, and well equipped. Thanks Kim!

Zeer proper en netjes

everything a great wee place going to rebook so cant say enough good things about it!!

nothing ...if i had to be picky it was to near a main road

The Bothy and it's location were just perfect for us and everything was thought of. Wonderful place. We will be rebooking as soon as possible

No problems at all.

Fantastic stay. Extremely clean and well kept. Full stock of logs and kindling. Extremely comfy mezzanine. Brilliant washroom. Stove heats up the space perfectly into a cosy cosy Bothy. Great roads over to Callander and Lake of Menteith as well as west towards Loch Lomond and south to Killearn

The Bothy was immaculate and had everything you need for your stay. Great communication from the owner from the beginning of me booking this. Beautiful out door seating areas with lovely views. Very comfortable loft bed and the wood burner kept the Bothy very cosy especially at night. Will definitely be back !!! 🥰

Everything was exceptional, no complaints.

Everything, the hosts have thought of everything, slippers and robes, essentials like milk, bread and jam, cosy blankets and the fire was amazing.

Nothing

Location was spot on

Nothing it was perfect

loved everything about it! quiet, private and cosy. Host went the extra mile and all standards were high

Not a thing wrong

Great little cottage everything you need for days away location good for sightseeing well enjoyed my time there

Beautiful little bothy which was perfect for our stay, it had everything we'd need for staying the weekend. We actually loved it so much we have said it would be ideal to go back to in the colder months to enjoy much more sitting next to the wood burner. Thank you very much.

The place was wonderful very cute and cosy, clean and well kept, lovely garden! And it was so nice to see all the animals (cows) in the morning! The shower is lovely and hot and the persoanal touches were very kind, thank you for a lovely stay. In all the place felt very homely! Perfect for a nice chilled few nights! We will defo recommend!

The bedroom area did get a bit hot at night but there is a fan provided if needed :) bed wasnt too comfortable- bit springy when you turned over however was able to sleep as its a very peaceful area. Another pillow at night would of been better :)

Everything, the fire especially.

N/A

The cottage was well appointed although the sleeping arrangements are not really suited to pensioners.

The sleeper couch is not very comfortable

The perfect place to relax or as a base for an action packed trip. We only booked for two nights wish we had stayed longer. The bothy was immaculate and the hosts most helpful definitely a place for a return visit.

Nothing to dislike.

Thr location is beautiful, the fire was such a nice touch. I loved being close enough to pubs and restaurants, in a nice cosy setting.

Nothing I didn't like.

Immaculate property and hosts had thought of everything very warm and homely. it poured of rain during our stay but the house was cosy. Lovely wee stream out the back of the house too had we had nice weather it would have been lovely to sit in the garden with the peaceful surroundings and I would definitely stay again .

The only point I would say about the property is maybe it could be sign posted from the road as it’s not clear that the cottage is behind the house and took us a few attempts to find it. There was nothing about the house itself we didn’t like though .
