This was a clean a lovely place to stay, my friends and I had a great stay, town was lovely great place to explore the area ⊠we especially liked the wool shop and eweâve been fleeced .. Jill was awesome
We enjoyed our stay. Perfect size for a family.
Wonderful to explore the Loch Lomond area. We can recommend the Doon Hill and Fairy Knowe trail nearby.
The house was beautifully presented and comfortable for our family of 4. Close to village amenities and perfect base for visiting lochs, national parks and a day trip to Glasgow
We loved the house, the kitchen was great, the bedrooms were cozy and the location was incredible. we had an absolute blast, and the host was so helpful. It was a long trip coming from the US, but when we come back, we know where we are staying!!
What a wonderful week we had in this lovely home. Probably in our top 3 experience for the last 10 years. We can only recommend this house. We hope to come back there again to continue discovering the area
Thanks Martha for your short and sweet review and the 5 stars we truly appreciate! Glad to hear also on the message you had an amazing time. Welcome back anytime. x
Nice, comfortable, well eqipped house in a good location
This was a very suitable place for us to stay with our dog for a week. You can walk to the local amenities in a couple of minutes, including the Co-Op, although Aberfoyle has a few empty shops at the moment. This is a good location to be based in.
Thank you Matthew for taking the time to review us, and glad you had a good holiday! We agree Aberfoyle is a good base to explore the park & for anyone reading, whilst Aberfoyle is still recovering from some recent floods which closed the Forth Inn (which we hope will reopen soon) it has an array of great businesses on the Main Street, including supermarket, butchers/delicatessen, pub(Fairie tree & Aberfoyle Inn), chemist, tourist information, Maggies bakery, and some cafe's - station cafe, and Liz McGregors , bike hire, and the wool centre with its shop, cafe and events.
Ideal base for exploring Loch Lomond National Park
We spent a summer week in Aberfolye which turned out a lovely and lively village adjacent to Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park. Trail heads and other things to do can be reached without too much driving. The house was ideally equipped for our needs as a family with 4 kids aged 3-11. Thank you very much, Jil!
Great base for exploring Loch Lomond and the Trossachs
We had a great week in the Trossachs. There were four of us over three bedrooms so this cottage was very spacious for us. The cottage is well kept and clean and has everything you'll need. We particularly found the downstairs utility room with second fridge / freezer useful and the Co-op within walking distance is also very convenient.
There are many great things to see within half an hour to an hour driving: obviously the boat cruises on Loch Katrine and Loch Lomond; but also the Forest Drive that starts a bit further up the pass; a walk from the cottage up the nearby hill Craigmore, via a forest with waterfall and sculptures.(look out for the "mirror people") and of course the hike up Ben Lomond.
Superb holiday property, made best use of the views by having living areas upstairs.
Great location for wonderful Cafes, Pubs, Shops and information centre.
We were so close to tourist attractions, a must is Lock Katrine, we walked to the Literature area and âdrankâ in the views that inspired the great Poets, philosophers and Artists.
Truly inspirational.
Jill left so much information for us, we had the most wonderful time, a wonderful smart TV for cosy nights was great as for sure we were happily worn out from everything we did.
One day promised rain but it never materialised ended being very nice but had planned to go to Stirling it was very nice place and worth visiting.
All in all everything was excellent.
Best regards and thanks Norman and Ann Mountford (Also our little Dog Poppy).
Also loved the high quality photos.
Thank you Norman & Ann for your wonderful review - it is much appreciated, and so happy you all had a great time in Aberfoyle including Poppy! Welcome back anytime.
Thank you so much Frank for writing such beautiful words and sharing your experience of your stay . So happy the dog friendly surroundings were also highly rated by your lovely Gordon setter - I hope you'll come back some day ! Best wishes to you & thanks for the 5 stars !
Our family stayed a week at this property and found it clean, roomy, and well-kept. The downstairs bathroom is newly refurbished and very luxurious! The beds were all very comfortable as well as the large sectional couch. We had plenty of room to relax, play games, and watch movies. The area is perfect as itâs in town, so we only had a short walk to the co op or coffee shop, and we were walking distance to several beautiful trails. The property manager checked in on us periodically and was very responsive if we had any questions. Overall we highly recommend this property!
Thank you so much Logan for your lovely review, we are particularly delighted you've mentioned the new refurbished bathroom featuring the large walk in shower , which we've just completed for 2022. Its so great to get feedback, and great to hear that the spacious comfortable living area met your needs. My housekeeper Rita & I were so delighted to receive your note/tip to say thanks- please do come back anytime, you are very welcome!
It was the perfect half term break for us. The property manager, Jill, was really helpful and caring.
Lots of hiking trails starting from just next to the cottage and Aberfoyle has a nice vibe, good pub and good cafes.
We would definitely go next time.
Wir haben eine sehr schöne Woche im Haus 12 on the hill verbracht, sind viel gewandert in den schönen WĂ€ldern des Nationalparks und haben auch gerne die Pubs Forth Inn und Aberfoyle Inn besucht. Wundervolle WĂ€lder, wundervolle Seen und Berge. Hagen und Freunde aus dem SĂŒdwesten Deutschlands.
We spent a lovely week in this cottage. Aberfoyle is a fantastic base for exploring the area and there are lots of activities nearby. Highlights included the Go Ape, walking up Ben A'an, the 3 lochs forrest drive and the steamer on Loch Katrine. There are lots of other things to do in the area and the scenery is really beautiful (even in the wet!).
The cottage was clean and spacious with a great view over the valley. The owner Jill looked after us really well making sure we had everything we needed. There is a co-op and several places to eat in the village (we particularly enjoyed the Forth Inn). All in all this was a great place to stay and is highly recommend.
Thanks Chris, It was a pleasure to meet you all , and so happy you made the most from your visit, sounds like an action packed week, well done on climbing Ben A'an . . . . .the views are worth it, and hope you enjoyed Edinburgh as well. Come back again! Jill
Such a well equipped comfortable airy property with lovely views. Everything we wanted we had and more. Even a pair of binoculars. Lovely touch.
Lots of leaflets of things to do in the area.
The accommodation itself is well equipped and in a good location. It is better than the pictures show!
There is a lot within walking distance and it is a good base for travelling a little further afield. Thank you for letting us stay!
Thanks for your lovely review, and very happy that you'll visit again & recommend to friends, however just to respond about the shower -the family bathroom downstairs has a bath and in addition a separate shower cubicle. The shower has been upgraded to the latest mira sport version recently with a boost button for extra power - I wonder was the shower used on the maximum settings, perhaps the boost button wasn't activated. when you were using it. This is our first review on here - Please check out our 5 star reviews on other sites and thank again for taking the time to write your feedback.

The village also boasts one of the most scenic golf courses in Scotland, the Aberfoyle Golf Club, established back in 1890.
The house is ideally positioned just above the main street of the village and a short 10 min walk from the door through the forest up to The Lodge visitors centre in Queen Elisabeth Forest Pk with waterfall, scenic views, cafe, lake & mountain walks &, Go-Ape zip wire experience (one of the longest in the UK). Hill walkers and cyclists can enjoy many wonderful trails across bens and lochs, through Dukes pass and onto Callander, around Loch Lomond.
