Larch Lodge was a gem of a find, such a lovely location, we had very cheeky red squirrels feeding from the porch, also numerous tits, nuthatch and finches.The lodge itself was very comfy and well equipped, the owners are lovely and very helpful. Lovely walks around the area and only a 20 minute stroll into Killin along a woodland footpath. The co-op in Killin is well stocked but lots of small friendly shops along the High Street. We will definitely be back.

Very pleasant accommodation in a quiet location with birds and red squirrels outside. You can walk to the Falls of Dochart along a walking/bike track in about 15 minutes. There is a Co-op store a further 10-15 minutes walk through the village of Killin. Accommodation was clean with all the amenities we needed.
