Surprisingly spacious cottage superbly located right opposite the Falls of Dochart; a stunning location which is also very convenient for local amenities and trips in all directions (Lix Toll road junction is a short distance away). Great walks straight from the cottage door too. Comfortable, warm, clean and well equipped, and a nice rear garden. Note though that bedroom ceiling heights are relatively low and visitors much over 6' tall could find this awkward.

Comfortable and warm, if a little in need of a spruce up. Lovely garden room at back looking onto garden and countryside. Decoration a little bit tired now but still a great place to stay and have done so 3 times. Mountains around Killin are spectacular!
