Am Bothan

About this property

Lochearnhead 1.2 miles. Nestling within a secluded woodland setting, Am Bothan, Edinchip near Locheranhead in Stirling enjoys a magical location and offers the perfect escape for a family or a couple. Whilst outside the property you can be at one with nature, inside offers a warm and inviting space (helped by the underfloor heating throughout!) which is a tranquil sanctuary and gives its guests the opportunity to enjoy a truly transformative break. The property has been finished to a high specification and benefits from a wonderful open-plan living space with a snug corner sofa, TV, woodburning stove and feature sliding doors opening onto a decking area which offers mesmerising woodland views. The kitchen is compact and has everything you need to rustle up a pleasant meal whether it is a romantic dinner for two or hearty family fayre using some of the fantastic local produce on offer in the area. Those all-important views can be enjoyed whilst tucking into a meal at the dining table and this is the perfect spot to kick back with a glass of wine and make the most of spending quality time with family and loved ones. The kids will be delighted with the cool bunk beds whilst the superbly appointed double bedroom has doors opening onto the decking area with stunning views over the adjoining forest. Just imagine throwing open the doors in the morning and breathing in the fresh, forest air before preparing a tasty breakfast to enjoy out on the decking area. To top it all off at the end of a busy day of activities, why not fire up the wood-fired hot tub, have a soak and really relax while taking in those simply sublime views? It really doesn’t get much better than that. Despite its remote setting, Am Bothan is only a mile from the A84 and a number of long-distance walking and cycling routes giving guests the opportunity to really explore the wonders of Highland Perthshire and Stirlingshire. Nearby attractions include Five Munros and Lochs Earn and Lubnaig for watersports and picturesque Callander is a popular destination. Look out for one of Scotland’s finest birds, the red kite at Argaty Red Kites or enjoy a steamship cruise on Loch Katrine and you can do day trips to Edinburgh and Glasgow from here. For a trip to remember in a superb woodland setting, Am Bothan is definitely worth a visit.

The village of Lochearnhead is located at the western end of Loch Earn, a Highland Loch surrounded by mountains and 317ft above sea level. Lochearnhead is a popular area because of the loch and the wide range of watersports on offer, including water-skiing, canoeing, and sailing. At its centre there is a village shop, a post office, and a pub among other small businesses such as B&Bs and a hotel. The Lochearhead Highland Games are held here annually in summer, and they have been a classic part of Scottish culture for centuries. The larger city of Perth lies around 40 miles east, with Glasgow around 50 miles to the south.
