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.

This beautiful house had everything we needed for our family break in this stunning part of Scotland. The beds were extremely comfy, the kitchen well equipped and having the hot tub was such a treat.Couldn’t fault the property for cleanliness, for comfort or for peace and quiet. We would love to return.
