Beautiful cottage with excellent surroundings . Placed for access to lots of sightseeing spots , Stirling is only 20 mins away . Only drawback is to get to the cottage means driving on a single track road . Restaurants and pubs mean a 15 min drive or taxi journey . Hosts are brilliant and the welcome pack is the best we have encountered , .the views of the loch are stunning and looking at the visitors book the have been many return visits
