Guests consistently highlight the warm hospitality of the hosts, thoughtful touches on arrival, and the peaceful, scenic surroundings. The cottage is described as a true home from home, ideal for relaxation and exploring central Scotland.

We enjoyed a fabulous stay at Buzzard cottage. Though situated in the heart of the Scottish countryside, all the necessary amenities were close at hand.The cottage itself is warm and friendly and contains all mod cons we needed to make our stay comfortable. Highly recommended.

We had a Super Day - George and Morag have obvioulsy put a lot of thought into what makes a really good holiday cottage - The cottage was really nicely furnished with everything you could want on hand (and matching!) . The location is super quiet and feels very remote, but is in actual fact quite a sort trip into Stirling where there's lots to do . A great, quiet location if you're into wildlife, countryside, fishing, or history - lovely view over to the loch and very accessible for disabled visitors.

This is one the best equipped self catering places we have stayed, it was a proper home from home with everything you need in it. The location and local amenities for us was brilliant but might be to everyone’s taste due to not being in close proximity to shops etc but for us it was superb. Couldn’t fault anything about it and the hosts were brilliant and couldn’t do enough for you. Always on hand to answer any questions etc.Will definitely be going back 5⭐️😀😀
