About this property
Riverbank Cottage is an outstanding lodge resting on the banks of the River Lochay in Killin, Stirling, offering off-road parking, a private hot tub, and a striking glass-fronted gable that frames views across the river. Set across a single storey and designed for up to four guests, this contemporary retreat brings together natural materials and a setting shaped by the water. Step inside and the open-plan living space immediately draws your eye outward, where floor-to-ceiling glazing allows the river and surrounding greenery to remain a constant presence. The vaulted ceiling adds height and light, creating an expansive feel across the kitchen, dining and sitting areas, all arranged to flow together for shared moments throughout the day.
The kitchen is well-equipped for self-catering, while the dining space invites relaxed mealtimes, and the sitting area provides a place to unwind with views always in sight. Underfloor heating runs throughout, adding a gentle warmth to the interior. The sleeping accommodation includes a king-size bedroom with its own en-suite shower, alongside a twin room, both furnished to reflect the calm, natural palette of the living spaces. A separate bathroom offers additional convenience, ensuring the layout works well for families or friends travelling together. Outside, the decking sits directly beside the river, where seating invites you to spend time taking in the flowing water and open outlook.
The hot tub is positioned to enjoy the same perspective, allowing the surroundings to shift with the light from morning through to evening. Killin lies within easy reach, where the Falls of Dochart provide a dramatic focal point as water cascades through the centre of the village. Along Loch Tay, long shoreline walks and wide views create opportunities for exploring, while Aberfeldy offers The Birks of Aberfeldy, a woodland gorge with winding paths, alongside Dewar’s Aberfeldy Distillery. For a broader Highland setting, Ben Lawers introduces expansive scenery and walking routes that define this part of Scotland. Riverbank Cottage offers a memorable base for discovering Killin and beyond.

The village of Killin, on the edge of the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park, in the area of Breadalbane, sits across the stunning Falls of Dochart and has been settled since ancient times. Cup markings on rocks and stone circles tell of an ancient race that inhabited this area. Christianity came to Breadalbane in the 8th century with St Fillan with the Mill bearing his name and St Fillan’s Day held on the 3rd Tuesday in January. The village is strongly associated with two renowned clans, Clan Campbell and Clan MacNab. Finlarig Castle, to the north of the village, was the Campbell stronghold and the MacNabs have their ancient burial ground of Inchbuie near the bridge over the falls. Killin today is a popular tourist destination, due in no small part to the use of the falls in various films and television programmes. The village today has a varied selection of shops, bars and restaurants and watersports are available on nearby Loch Tay. Ideal for walking, Killin has Ben Lawers, the highest of the surrounding Bens, to the north and Ben More and Stobinian to the west.
