    My family and I had the most amazing stay at this cottage. It was clean and extremely comfortable and the views were spectacular! Our host left us the most amazing scones and a bottle of wine which we all thought were very good. The scones were absolutely delicious The beds were extremely comfortable and the log burner and hot tub added some extra delights. We would definitely recommend this accommodation and hope to stay again. Communication with the owner was excellent.

    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. Ian is an excellent host who provided his famous scones upon arrival and checked in with us throughout our stay, providing tips for the rest of our travels around Scotland.

    Amazing Stay

    What a lovely property and fantastic area. Ian was there to meet us when we arrived and showed us round the place and how to work everything that was needed. He had baked us some scones and left us a bottle of wine to enjoy. The place was big enough for eight of us, six adults and two children. Dogs were made welcome. The place was clean and had everything we needed. The hot tub was lovely to relax in and look at the surrounding hills and scenery, very peaceful. Will definitely be back for another stay,

    The cottage is spacious, clean, and has gorgeous views.

    Our group consisted of five women and the cottage was perfect for us. It can be difficult to find a home with a bedroom and bathroom on the first floor and this cottage has a nice, cozy bed and bath with a walk in shower. Very accessible for someone with limited mobility. Ian was a wonderful host. He is friendly, charming, and helpful. We enjoyed the scones and jam that welcomed us. The cottage is clean and neat.

    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.

    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.
