    "Stunning cottages in the heart of Loch Lomond National Park..."


    Situated in the heart of Loch Lomond National Park, these stunning holiday properties have been lovingly restored and furnished to provide wonderful retreats.
    Auchendennan Farm Cottage (SLLX) is a single-storey holiday cottage; within the house there is a large family sauna which can be used as an ideal way to unwind. Outside on the sun decking, there is a sunken hot tub which is large enough for all the family and powerful enough to give tired muscles a proper massage. Rose Cottage (SRRG) is a single-storey conversion adjoining the owner’s farmhouse. Combining modern and traditional furnishings, the property boasts a superb hot tub and external sun decked area for relaxing and unwinding. Burnbeag (SVVE) is a stunning, detached cottage to the rear of the steadings and has a stream running through its private enclosed garden, which has a decked area and hot tub. Courtyard Studio (SVVD) is a single-storey barn conversion set in the courtyard, behind the main house. Chestnut Cottage (SXXO), Willow Cottage (SXXP), Primrose Cottage (SXXQ) and Ivy Cottage (SXXR) are all pretty single-storey, semi-detached holiday cottages, with open-plan living areas and a cosy, wood-burning stove.
    In summer, Loch Lomond’s ancient oak woods ring with birdsong. Look out for redstarts, pied flycatchers and wood warblers. Ospreys are summer visitors to the loch and nearby Lake of Menteith. In the high country of Breadalbane, golden eagles may be seen soaring over mountain slopes richly carpeted in alpine plants. Watch out for porpoises and seals and glimpse Loch Lomond’s herd of fallow deer as they bound through the trees. Loch Lomond and Loch Earn are some of Scotland’s prime venues for sailing and water-skiing, while the rivers Balvaig and Teith are popular with canoeists. The Teith is also a great salmon river and one of many places popular with anglers. For golfing enthusiasts, the famous courses of Loch Lomond are just a short distance from the property, with an abundance of courses for all standards within easy reach.
    Walking is a popular pursuit, from gentle low-level strolls to strenuous mountain climbs. Ben Lomond, Ben Lui, Ben Ime and Ben Vorlich are among the 21 Munros (mountains over 3000 feet). The West Highland Way stretches from the edge of Glasgow to Fort William, hugging the banks of Loch Lomond and passing through the spectacular mountain scenery of Strathfillan. There are great opportunities for cycling on and off road on National Cycle Network Route 7, which passes through the National Park from Balloch to Killin. Cameron House, the 5 star golf/spa resort is just minutes from the property where one can enjoy fine dining, day spa packages and championship golf. Lomond Shores, again a short distance from the property, offers designer shopping, loch cruises and an aquarium. The cities of Glasgow and Edinburgh are easily accessible by car boasting award winning restaurants, theatres, galleries and concert venues, designer shopping as well as many tourist attractions including the breath-taking Edinburgh Castle. Shops 2 miles, pub ¼ mile.

    Auchendennan Farm Cottage (SLLX) can be booked together with Rose Cottage (SRRG) to accommodate up to 10 guests.

What Makes Scotland Perfect For Dogs?

 

Scotland is the ideal adventure destination for humans and dogs alike. The scenery is stunning and the opportunities for walks are endless.

Think of golden sands and crisp blue waters where dogs can take a refreshing dip or walk along the headland.

If it’s self-catering you’re after, there are plenty of cottage options available, for every breed and budget.

Our Dog-Friendly Insider Tips for Scotland

 

For beach lovers, Westport Beach in Argyll is a fabulous dog-friendly coastal walk if you’re staying in Argyll and Bute. The six-mile-long stretch of sand is situated just in front of the beautiful Machrihanish Dunes. This beach is extremely popular with dog walkers, and we can see why!

 

Drumlanrig Castle in Dumfries and Galloway is another lovely choice for a day out where you can bring your dog along. The 17th-century castle is situated in the Queensberry Estate complete with acres of country park and Victorian gardens for your pup to play in.

 

And of course, the Cairngorms National Park in the heart of Scotland is a must-visit. The largest National Park in the UK, this beautiful park is home to peaceful lochs, castles and an abundance of walking trails for beginner to advanced walkers. Wherever you visit in the Cairngorms, your dog is sure to be grateful for it!
