    Everything was perfect: Marion is a gentle and attentive hostess, she gave us very clear information to reach the place, a cozy b&b, surrounded by a beautiful garden. The breakfast (we tried English and continental breakfast) was homemade and it...

    Marion is the perfect host! The welcome was very warm, the location is situated beautifully remote (that's why I had trouble finding it...). The bed was very comfortable, breakfast in the garden hut was a beautiful surprise. Thank you very much,...

The property is a bungalow style set in a few acres of land overlooking Ben Lomond in the distance, the nearest village is Buchlyvie which is two miles away, Stirling is the nearest city away which will take 30 minutes to travel. Please note the private bathroom inside the bedroom consist of one toilet and one sink.
I started the Bed and breakfast business 4 years ago and enjoy making guests feel at home and catering for them, my other work involves hosting in conference and exhibition centres. I enjoy cooking and singing and sometimes together, I also keep fit by walking my dog and swimming.
We are near a beautiful village called Aberfoyle where the visitor centre is located with the most beautiful walks you can take and lots of other sports you can participate in, continuing onto Lock Katrine which is very beautiful with Ben's and Munro's to climb, Lake of Menteith is another beautiful location to visit and Balmaha and Ben Lomond which are all nearby.
