Such a stunning cottage, with beautiful views. The cottage is really spacious and very well equipped, slept 4 adults & 2 kids easily. Laura keeps the place absolutely spotless and is a pleasure to deal with, nothing is too much trouble. I would recommend this place 100% and hope to return again soon.

Nice little cottage in stunning countryside
The cottage really fit our needs perfectly (even though our kids had to share the room). The ground floor was very spacious, kitchen equipment was good - we missed some basics like oil an vinegar (Salt and Pepper were there, but almost run out). The communication with the landlord was easy and prompt, we really enjoyed our stay there, after a City Trip the right place to relax. We had a bit stress, because as we were leaving early and had to collect all sheets from all beds and towels ... but thats just a small issue compared to the great time we spent.

Wonderful stay in Alva
We had a great week in the cosy Rowan Cottage. It offers plenty of space for a family of four and is very well maintained and equipped. The landlady was always approachable and helpful. We would come back at any time as the location is ideal for trips to Edinburgh or Loch Lomond. Stirling and the surrounding area also has a lot to offer for culture and hiking enthusiasts.

âNearly perfect in every way!â
When looking for accommodations in Scotland, my wife and I were looking for a convenient, centralized location which offered local opportunities for exploring the culture and history of Scotland, but which also could be used as a springboard from which we could venture further afield. Balquharn Holiday Cottages provided the perfect venue for us to do all that, but it also provided a quiet respite for us to recover from our explorations in a country setting, free from the hustle and bustle of residing in the city.
Laura was a wonderful host and was quick to do whatever was in her power to make our stay enjoyable. I would not hesitate to recommend Balquharn for anyone wishing to find a quiet but centralized location for exploring the best of what Scotland has to offer!

Great Country Cottage
A stunning cottage with beautiful views, the cottage was spotless, spacious and well furnished and equipped for our family of four. Laura was a pleasure to deal with before and during our stay. Itâs a great base for visiting the many sites Scotland has to offer. Set in quiet and idyllic surroundings, my little one enjoyed seeing the highland cows and sheep in the mornings. I would definitely use this cottage again and highly recommended this place to anyone.

Cycling break in Scotland
Excellent base for exploring historic sites and cycling routes in the area. Cottage is directly on the Alloa loop cycle path and we really enjoyed Stirling castle, Wallace memorial tower and Culross Palace. Also nearby is the Cowden Japanese Garden well worth a visit. Everything thing provided for comfortable self catering stay, but no pubs/restaurants within walking distance. Overall a beautiful and quiet location.

Laura was a delight to rent from. The cottage was clean, spacious, and had a well stocked kitchen. It was a great location to use as a base. We even enjoyed seeing the Coos up close. Highly recommended.

We didn't want to leave!
What an absolutely perfect little cottage home. There was plenty of room for our family of five, and the cottage was nicely cleaned and well equipped. The location was definitely icing on the cake! The views were like a scene from a movie. The area is absolutely wonderful and so beautiful in any weather. We loved it in the fog, in the sun, in the rain - just splendid! There are the cutest little paths near the cottage to wander down, with Highland cows and sheep to say hi to. It was my favourite part of every morning and every evening. It's so peaceful and everyone was so friendly - both on and off the farm! We would definitely recommend staying here and are very much hoping to return in the future. We explored a lot of Stirling on this trip, but would love to expand to visit Loch Lomond and then into the cities. We learned that you can take a bus/train into Edinburgh, so we will definitely do that next time! Thank you to Laura and family for such a lovely few days! We really loved your beautiful cottage!

Alva Scotland perfection
My mother, son & I had a wonderful trip to Scotland. The cottage was a perfect location for doing/seeing many things in different directions. A gorgeous location. A great walking/running/biking trail out front from cottage to start your morning if choose. or just sitting outside on the table enjoying your tea or coffee with the greatest view. The cottage itself was a perfect size. having a kitchen, washer/dryer, 2 bathrooms made our living space time very comfortable. Glad we found it & will definitely stay here again

Sweet Place to Stay near Stirling
We reserved Willow Cottage at the last minute for two nights. Since it was short notice I didnât have much time to search. When we arrived I was pleasantly surprised at our good fortune!
We traveled the UK for three weeks. Willow was by far the most comfortable. Laura does a great job!
