The property is on a working farm and lies within the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park with direct access to Ben Lomond, one of Scotland’s most acclaimed landmarks. Climb to its summit or enjoy the lochside at its foot or just sit and soak up the sweeping beauty of Loch Lomond. Warm yourself after by the Wood burning stove and enjoy the peace and quiet of an 18th Century cottage in one of the most scenic places in Scotland. There is also and adjoining Bothy which sleeps two and can be rented out in addition to Christmas Cottage. Please contact us for more information.
We are located on the West Highland way route, just outside of Rowardennan. We are a 10 minute drive from Balmaha. Buses are available to Balmaha. We recommend hiring a car or there are local taxi services that can take you up to the cottage. Feel free to message for more information.
