Lovely weekend away with friends and family. Lovely views. House spacious and well maintained. Only issue was trying to work out the heating. Instructions given but bot easy to use. Hot tub maintained during stay. Great size. Utensils iand equipment in kitchen was excellent. Great communication from host. 15 to 20 minutes drive and you can be in Stirling or Balloch.

We had the pleasure of spending our Christmas at the Gartclach. It was perfect for our family of 9 plus 1 dog (1 - 83), the Christmas decorations lovely and Lesley Ann kindly left Xmas goodies under the tree. The house is super comfortable, warm and clean. Its spacious kitchen is a delight to cook in. The beds were all very comfortable. The hot tub was a delight. The property is rural however Aberfoyle is five minutes drive which for us was excellent. We would definitely recommend to other guests.
