The Stables
About the home
Our charming country cottage, in the heart of Scotland offer a relaxing break away from it all. Situated right in the middle of an area steeped in Scottish folklore. There are many castles & monuments to sites ideal for a fun family day out or for the serious historian.
The cottage is only a few miles from the banks of Loch Lomond and are ideally suited to exploring Central Scotland. There are some stunning drives in the Trossachs and up towards the forests of Argyll. If you prefer some more urban pursuits Stirling and Glasgow are only a 30 minute drive away, Edinburgh and Perth an hour.
Locally there are excellent opportunities for walking, sight seeing, cycling & mountain biking, pony trekking, fishing, golf and lots more. The immediate area also offers a wide range of amenities, including shops, quality sit-in and take-out restaurants.
Our cottage has broadband access so that you can stay in touch. The cottage has been tastefully furnished and equipped with everything you would require to make your stay relaxing. French doors open onto a private garden, overlooking our fields. This means that you can enjoy the beautiful countryside without having to move.
We welcome you after your journey with home baking and wine & give a personal service throughout your stay. One of our dairy units has been completely modernised milking 400 friesians three times daily, it would be my pleasure to show you round on request.
We look forward to welcoming you.
