If you come again you must try the But & Ben in Croftamie village - about 12 minutes walk.

We hope that you had a safe journey home and that we may see you again sometime. Kind regards Murray and Alli

    Absolutely amazing stay at Appletree. Murray and Ally couldn’t be more helpful, even helping us out after a puncture and shuttling us to the house. The cottage is sparkling clean and has everything you need, great local info from hosts on restaurants and activities. We stayed for 1 week and could’ve easily stayed longer, the weather was excellent and we enjoyed the garden in the morning and early evening. Local pubs and restaurants a short walk or taxi away. It was an absolute pleasure to stay and enjoy everything the cottage has to offer.

    Just perfect!

    Photos truly don’t do this place justice. We absolutely loved our stay and are seriously considering coming back. The rooms were spacious, beautifully maintained, and everything felt either brand new or in excellent condition. The hosts were available if needed, but everything was so well organised we never had to reach out. The views were stunning, and the location was perfect—close to shops and local attractions. Highly recommended!

    We LOVED this cottage! Highly recommend!

    This cottage is amazing - great layout, very clean and surrounded by beautiful views of the countryside. It is centrally located for day trips to Edinburgh, Glasgow, Stirling, Pitlochry, St Andrews, etc. and the best thing is that after a full day of fun, it was great to come back to a quiet luxury retreat! Murray and Alli were awesome hosts - they provided great information, tips for traveling in the area and were very quick to respond when we had questions. Our group consisted of my mother in law 80+, husband, son, his wife and our 6 month old grandson. This cottage worked well for all ages. High chair and portable crib were provided and worked out perfectly. We plan to visit again and will definitely stay here. It's so beautiful, functional and convenient!

    Family get together!

    The property was perfect for our needs of spending some quality time together in a more than comfortable environment. Each of us had our own bedroom and bathroom with large, comfortable beds and excellent showers. The log burning fire and amazing countryside views made staying inside a luxury. The many walks and country pubs nearby kept us entertained. Boating on Loch Lomond was less than 15 mins away. Finally, we must mention our accommodating hosts, Murray and Ali who were there to welcome us and help throughout our stay. From electric car charging points to borrowing rice & purchasing more logs. Thank you!! Perfect mini break!

    This property over delivers on facilities, cleanliness and the owners could not have been more helpful both before we arrived and during our stay. Thoroughly recommend this property for a chilled out of the way stay with beautiful scenery, very quiet location and yet close to Loch Lomond and other beauty spots.
