Walkers with two and four legs alike will enjoy the variety of Munros on the doorstep, with sunny afternoons spent exploring the incredible landscape. Recently refurbished and an ideal base for a family retreat, this pretty cottage sleeps five and two canine companions.

Blending seamlessly with the splendid views surrounding the property, the interior has plenty of country charm with carefully considered decor and homely furnishings. Sit back on the colourful sofas in the sitting room while your four-pawed pal curls up in front of the multi-fuel stove. Adjacent, there's a lovely dining area where you can enjoy home-cooked meals alongside views of the river. Perfectly equipped with rustic wooden cabinets and an oil-fired AGA, you can cook up a storm in this country kitchen. Downstairs, you'll find the stylish and modern bathroom where you can refresh after a day in the countryside. Three bright, airy and lovingly decorated bedrooms are located on the first floor and ensure a good night's sleep. Let your waggy-tailed companions bounce around the large enclosed garden while you spot hares, deer and even golden eagles from the sunny seating area.

Nearby, there's a plethora of wonderful places to visit with your hounds.

What a lovely clean, fully equipped cottage in a beautiful remote setting. It was perfect! Only suggestion is to use the online grocery delivery from Morrisons or Asda. We ordered for the delivery to come first thing on the Sunday which made life easier.

A warm and cosy cottage in a fantastic remote location. We really enjoyed using it as a base for days in the hills and found it a lovely place to go back to. River just outside was perfect for a dunk at the end of the day. Kitchen and facilities top tier.

The cottage was fantastic, very well equipped, and in a remote and very beautiful location.

The cottage was spotlessly clean and very well-equipped and despite sub zero temperatures throughout the whole week was warm and comfortable. The location of the cottage right at the end of Glen Lyon is stunning. Even a power cut one evening and about 6 inches of snow didn't dampen our spirits! The walks with our dogs straight from the cottagRead moree were amazing. We saw many herds of red deer and even two golden eagles. Despite a problem with the booking arrangements for our dogs (anyone booking this cottage should be aware that there is a 20 per dog per week fee not specified in the details) the week was very enjoyable. Sadly due to this matter we won't be returning but would recommend both the cottage and its location. Hide
