The cottage was exceptionally well-equipped, spacious, and comfortable. The beds were very cozy. Having two bathrooms made our daily routine much more efficient. The combined kitchen and living area was furnished in a very inviting way. We were welcomed with a fantastic welcome pack. The property is perfectly situated for exploring the region around Stirling and The Trossachs National Park. We must especially mention the very friendly owners, who even provided us with extensive tips for our next trip to Scotland.
