Our fourth stay at Capelrig Cottage and as ever another wonderful stay at this cosy and comfortable cottage. The cottage itself is in a great location for exploring Loch Lomond, The Trossachs and Stirling area, with Glasgow not far away either. Capelrig is very well equipped for cooking and has a washing machine and tumble dryer as well. The Dolce Gusto coffee machine is a great plus as well. The bed is comfy and will provide a comfortable nights for all. If you want a peaceful break in a home from home in a great location with amazing scenery then Capelrig is perfect. Jeanette and David are lovely hosts who will help as much as you need but never intrude at al.we look forward to being back at Capelrig Cottage in a couple of years time.

Beautiful location for a peaceful break with lots of special little touches.Would prefer a king size bed and a more updated TV to download your viewing apps as it is limited with basic Freeview. The cottage is well equipped and furnished to a high standard of comfort for guests to enjoy but be aware there isn’t a walk in shower so take extra care.Overall a nice relaxing cottage in a beautiful location.
