This stunning rural retreat, 8 miles from Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park, is the ideal escape for families, friends and their tail-wagging companion. Surrounded by breathtaking countryside, this 18th-century home is brimming with charm, seamlessly blending its historic character with modern comforts. It’s a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts and their four-pawed pal, with nearby activities including scenic walks, wild swimming, cycling and more.
As you step into the entrance porch, you’ll find space to store muddy boots, coats and dog leads after a day of exploring. The heart of the home is the spacious kitchen/diner, perfect for gathering the pack. Whip up a feast using the Range-style oven and enjoy a meal at the large wooden dining table while your furry friend snoozes nearby. Also on the ground floor is a twin bedroom with single beds and an en-suite bathroom. Upstairs, the first-floor lounge is the perfect retreat after a day of adventure. Sink into the plush seating by the roaring open fire while your pup stretches out in the warmth. A beautifully decorated double bedroom, a family bathroom, and a utility room complete this level. The second floor offers a double and a twin bedroom. The house is very efficiently heated with a new renewable energy system so it’s very cosy and warm in the colder months.
Outside, the sunny patio has outdoor furniture and a BBQ for al fresco dining, and the owner’s expansive grounds are ready to be explored. Wander through the woodland paths where there are plenty of new scents to discover. While dogs must be kept on a lead to protect local wildlife and the free-roaming chickens, they’ll love the variety of outdoor adventures on offer. Private parking for three cars is provided.
Nearby, dog-friendly trails abound, from gentle waterside strolls at Gare Loch (5 miles) to exhilarating hikes up Ben Lomond (25 miles). The John Muir Trail, 2 miles away, offers spectacular views of Loch Lomond and plenty of sniff-worthy excitement. For a relaxing day out, visit the picturesque conservation village of Luss (13 miles) or head to Helensburgh (5 miles), which offers welcoming cafes and parks to enjoy with your hound.
