Luxury cottage in Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park

Appletree Cottage is a spacious, bright, recently purpose-built luxury self catering lodge set in the peaceful and spectacular surroundings of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. Sleeping up to 8 people in four bedrooms - each with its own shower, wash basin and WC, Appletree features a large and living space full of natural daylight with huge picture windows looking southwards across open countryside to the Kilpatrick Hills, 4 miles distant.

Eco Friendly the cottage (EPC band B) is well insulated. Hot water and heating is powered by a district heating biomass boiler which uses locally sourced sustainable timber. There is a wood burning stove for added cheer in the winter.

Mobility impaired users will find easy access to the ground floor living space and adjoining ground floor en-suite bedroom and patio as they are all on one level There is ample space to turn a wheelchair(please see separate details)

Set in its own private garden cottage has a south facing private patio accessible through a huge glass sliding door from the living space for alfresco dining.

Children (but not pets, as we keep the cottage clear for allergy sufferers) are welcome and we can provide a travel cot, high chair and toddler chair if required.

​This is the perfect spot to sit back and engage in some wildlife spotting and even better, you wont have to go far to see some of Scotland’s rarer and iconic animals and birds within the national park. Also popular with star gazers as the skies are dark with no nearby street lighting.

Although in a rural setting Appletree is ideal for exploring Glasgow, Stirling, Loch Lomond and the Trossachs.

Family get together!
The property was perfect for our needs of spending some quality time together in a more than comfortable environment. Each of us had our own bedroom and bathroom with large, comfortable beds and excellent showers. The log burning fire and amazing countryside views made staying inside a luxury. The many walks and country pubs nearby kept us entertained. Boating on Loch Lomond was less than 15 mins away. Finally, we must mention our accommodating hosts, Murray and Ali who were there to welcome us and help throughout our stay. From electric car charging points to borrowing rice & purchasing more logs. Thank you!! Perfect mini break!

Very well specified property with terrific proprietors
This property over delivers on facilities, cleanliness and the owners could not have been more helpful both before we arrived and during our stay. Thoroughly recommend this property for a chilled out of the way stay with beautiful scenery, very quiet location and yet close to Loch Lomond and other beauty spots.
