The house was at a great location and well organised.We had a fabulous time. A few things that can be changed for it to be very nice and modern but not that important- Overall fab place for a get together with family or friends. And the location is on a lake with all mountains and beautiful walks too

Amazing NYE break away!

Perfect property for 9 adults and 1 dog! Very clean and well stocked kitchen which was large, with an even larger lounge with log burner. More than enough space for us all to get cosy, play games and see the new year in.Location is beautiful but to note, 20-25 mins from the nearest shop. The pier cafe is great for a drink, coffee or food though, and the drive is worth it for the surrounding views of Loch Katrine. A tesco home delivery was easy to organise and recieve at the property.Hosts were great - checking on us with the weather and being helpful and friendly.Would recommend!

Amazing house: comfy beds, gorgeous views, massive lounge, well-equpped kitchen, easy check in ... can't fault it. (Its remote location is a plus, in my view, but be prepared for a 30 min bumpy drive from Aberfoyle).

Fabulous location and house

Booked the house for a long weekend for myself, adult children, their partners and baby. House was exceptional, large and well equipped with everything you could think of. Views were amazing. Location and surrounding countryside was fabulous. Can also recommend the pier cafe, and we had a wonderful time clay pigeon shooting with Gregor at Ledard Farm. Only one thing would have made our stay better - we should have booked for a week not a weekend ! Would definitely recommend.

Beautiful home with beautiful views

This was exactly what we were looking for. It was beautiful and easy to enjoy. The only glitch was that the road in was very narrow and the day we left it was closed due to flooding. There is no other way out so you just have to wait for the water to go down.

Stunning property and location

We were a group of eight friends and family Accommodation was excellent, and the location quite stunning. It is very remote which is what we wanted Some of us had bikes and cycled the length of the loch and back a distance of around 26 miles quite hilly but the views are outstanding One point to note is that there are no shops or other facilities nearby other that in Aberfoyle some 30 mins distant over a berg twisty single track road. Recognising this we took all of the food and drink we needed with us and used the excellent and well appointed kitchen and cooking facilities. The lounge is huge and comfortable with a log fire (remember to take logs kindelling and fire lighters with you) All in all a fantastic experience one we can highly recommend

Magnificent property with spectacular views!

We booked this property to enable us to meet up with another family over new year halfway between where we each lived. The communication from Angela was second to non. Angela answered messages quickly and helped us sort a lot of queries out enabling us a very smooth and easy holiday. We stayed three nights. We arrived very late on the first night so only quickly got our bearings before heading to bed. We woke up to the most spectacular views! The house it perfectly placed seconds from the loch. Lots of long rural walks nearby and a fabulous little cafe a five minute walk away. We brought two dogs with us and the house is perfectly equipped for them. The photos of the property I don’t think actually do it any justice. It’s a very large property, with a large impressive living room. Our only regret is not bringing more wood with us for the fire, but we now know for next time. The bedrooms were spacious, clean and very warm. Showers in all en suites/bathrooms are powerful. Kitchen is well equipped and has the great addition of having two large fridges and freezers - very handy for a large party. We will definitely be returning to this property and we are already looking to book again.

Great Family Holiday

What a fabulous place to stay for our 4 night family holiday. Plenty of room for our group of 7 adults and 3 children to relax and enjoy this great location. Really enjoyed sitting in the spacious lounge area looking out over the beautiful view of Loch Katrine. The kitchen was large and modern and has everything we needed. Bedrooms were spacious and beds comfy. Lovely quiet location, but still with plenty of things in the area to explore. Would certainly recommend Lochside house to anyone looking for a special place to stay.

Perfect for family gathering

A group of 7 adults stayed 3 nights for a family gathering. The property itself is amazing, very generous room sizes and views to die for from most rooms. I’d describe the interior as comfort over style, and some things looked a wee bit tired. But I’d still highly recommend it. The cafe by the pier is VERY good, and much more than a tea room. They do take away food as well. Overall, a fantastic place that will stay with me forever.

Amazing

Gorgeous house and location simply breathtaking. The house was really large and easily accommodated our large family of 10. The sheer size of the living areas was amazing but also set up in a comfy way. Everything that we needed was there. The views from most of the rooms were unreal, simply gorgeous. We took a boat trip from the pier also which is just a 2 min walk from the house. The owners were so accommodating but also left us to it, even sent on some clothes we forgot to pack. Honestly couldn’t recommend this place enough!

Happy time at Lochside House

Overall we had a very positive experience. The location is stunning and the house spotless and spacious . The kitchen is large and well equipped. On the downside as noted by others the house could do with some updating . A new fridge freezer would be welcome . We planned to have a barbecue but the equipment was very poor and needed extensive cleaning . Perhaps the most concerning was the fact the toilet seat in our en suite was not properly attached . Larger, more substantial towels would be appreciated. These minor quibbles can be remedied easily and did not detract substantially from a very enjoyable family ( 9 using all 5 bedrooms) experience. The value for money was excellent.

A Breath of Fresh Air

Me and my fellow classmates were in great need of sometime away from Edinburgh. After a difficult year completing a Masters program in the middle of a pandemic far away from home, this was the perfect escape from the pressures of city/school life. The home was amazing; from the beautiful scenery to the comfortable furniture that promote relaxation and reflection. Communication with Angela was exceptional! She was attentive and quick to give us any additional support we needed. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to take a break in a serene environment!
