Stunning scenery, good location for visiting local attractions. The holiday cottage was lovely, very clean with plenty of equipment, the hot tub was a real bonus after being out all day. One of the highlights for us was the highland cows came to field at the bottom of the garden.

We had a fantastic week staying at Iora Rua. We got slightly lost on way there, so I phoned Lesley Ann the owner, who came and found us and we followed her there. The house is beautiful and has everything you could possibly need. Surrounding scenery is amazing. Less than a 10 minute drive to Aberfoyle, which has a Co-op, coffee shops, gift shops, The Scottish Wool Centre, the Fairie Tree restaurant which we went to a few times and a petrol station. Good location for visiting Stirling and Loch Lomond. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely book again.
