  • Impressive decked balcony with magnificent views overlooking a loch
Property code: OC-CA113

With two twin bedrooms, this is a wonderful escape for friends and family of all ages. The split-level cottage has a charming and homely feel, with exposed beams, wooden details and soft furnishings. You’ll find it located at the end of a private track overlooking a small loch, with a decked balcony boasting views across to the village of Cairnbaan.

From the large entrance porch, go down three steps into the spacious, double height open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, where French doors onto the balcony help flood the room with light. At night, it turns into a cosy haven when the wood burner is lit – the perfect place to relax after a day of exploration. Catch up on the day’s adventures over a delicious dinner cooked in the fully-equipped kitchen, before heading up the three further steps to the Super-King and Twin bedrooms, where a peaceful night’s sleep awaits.

Enjoy evening drinks or al fresco dining on the large balcony, taking in the incredible views over this wonderful part of Scotland. From here, you’ll see almost nothing but green hills and trees, lochs, and nature for miles – the ideal spot to get away from everyday life. A nearby path leads through the woods to the nearby hotel for tasty local scran, while a steep path leads from the cottage down to the loch which was once the site of a 19th-century slate quarry.

Location of the cottage was amazing. Lovely views over the forest from the balcony. We were almost put off booking, after reading some reviews about the condition of the track leading to the cottage, however it wasn't an issue.

Absolutely stunning location and view , worth every penny to wake up too ! You need to have a good big / truck car to get up the path way and there is no WiFi but I liked that. The bothy is so cozy and well equipped with appliances and the shower in the main bedroom is fabulous after a days walking , will definitely be back
