Experience contemporary living in this charming cottage right in the heart of Loch Lomond. Perfect for a couple seeking a romantic hideaway, this pretty bolthole invites you and two waggy-tailed friends to seek out plenty of walks, wildlife and wild swimming all from your doorstep.

Get back to nature as soon as you pull up at this beautiful holiday home. Enter into the spacious lounge and stoke up the wood burner. Relax in front of the warming glow with your pups by your side and your toes nice and toasty. Whip up a storm in the rustic-themed kitchen, and feast at the breakfast bar laid for two. Outside, turn on the fairy lights, take a shelter in the bespoke summerhouse and spend your evenings sipping cooling drinks by the cosy wood burner there. Once your light and bright double bedroom has provided you with a restful night’s sleep, mugs of fresh tea can be enjoyed whilst overlooking the River Endrick from the comfort of your duvet.

Utter the word ‘walkies’ and your pooches will be ready to stretch their legs on the private hideaway overlooking the river. In this truly remote location, you’ll be surrounded by gorgeous walks and incredible scenery, including Loch Lomond itself. Head 6 miles from the property to the southern shore of the loch, where water sports enthusiasts are sure to have a wonderful time. On dry land, share a sandwich with your contented canines and explore the many shops for a take-home trinket. While away the hours exploring the 200 acres of nature trails and walled gardens at Balloch Castle Country Park, or jump in the car and drive to Stirling (21 miles) or Glasgow (23 miles), both of which offer history, shopping and endless restaurants.

Gem of a cottage. 'Snug' is the ideal word to describe this property, I was 'as a bug' from minutes of arrival. So relaxing, if you are looking for somewhere to chill, you would be hard pushed to find somewhere better.
