Stayed at this lovely cottage for a week and it was the perfect base for exploring. The owner was lovely and so helpful for any questions we had and the cottage was perfect, cosy and had everything we needed (even a washing machine and sky tv, with great internet and signal) Parking was outside the house and the view from the decking over the houses to the loch was a great addition. Such a peaceful location with beautiful walks on the doorstep. We really did love our time at the cottage and our two dogs loved it as well! Would definitely return next year!

The cottage was beautiful and cosy, St Fillans and the surrounding area is absolutely stunning. The only reason it's four stars and not five is there was no enclosed garden for our dogs but otherwise faultless.
