We both loved our stay at St. Filanso much! The cottage was extremely comfortable and clean and had everything you could need. The view of the loch was amazing, so peaceful. The owner, Richard, was very helpful giving us tips for restaurants nearby. There’s some lovely walks right from the cottage and a cute cafe with a small shop for basics. Great location to explore this part of Scotland, no negatives at all, would definitely recommend this place and we will return when we can! Thanks for a wonderful stay.

We were welcomed on arrival by the owner, the cottage is well presented, equipped and the view from the property is amazing. It was great that they allow a dog to stay in the property as it meant we could take ours with us. We enjoyed lovely walks close to the village and our dog was welcomed at the golf club in St. Fillans. We would certainly go back.

The perfect cottage to enjoy the beauty of the Trossachs and Perthshire. Richard and Carol were very welcoming and everything is pristine.
