Ghillie’s Cottage is an exceptional lodge resting on the banks of the River Lochay in Killin, Stirling, complete with off-road parking, a private hot tub, and a woodburning stove.
Set across a single storey, this thoughtfully arranged retreat welcomes four guests and combines traditional character with a riverside setting that shapes the entire stay.
Step inside and the open-plan living space unfolds with light coming through doors that open directly onto the decking, drawing the river into view from the moment you arrive.
The kitchen and dining area sit neatly within this space, creating an easy flow for preparing meals and gathering together, while the sitting area is anchored by a woodburning stove, offering a focal point as the evening settles in.
Underfloor heating runs throughout, adding to the sense of warmth beneath your feet.
Two bedrooms sit just beyond the main space, each with its own en-suite.
The king-size room features a roll-top bath alongside a separate shower, while the twin room is served by its own walk-in shower.
Each bedroom maintains a sense of privacy, making the layout well-suited to couples travelling together or small families.
Outside, the decking stretches alongside the river, where seating invites you to pause and take in the changing light across the water.
The hot tub is positioned to enjoy this outlook, offering a different perspective throughout the day as the river continues to flow past.
From the cottage, Killin lies within walking distance, where the Falls of Dochart provide a striking natural landmark as water rushes over a series of rock formations in the heart of the village.
Loch Tay extends beyond, offering scenic walks along its shoreline and opportunities to explore the wider landscape.
Head to Aberfeldy to visit The Birks of Aberfeldy, where woodland paths wind through steep-sided gorge scenery, or step into Dewar’s Aberfeldy Distillery to learn more about the area’s whisky heritage.
For those drawn further afield, Ben Lawers offers walking routes through one of Scotland’s most recognisable mountain landscapes, with views stretching across Perthshire.
Ghillie’s Cottage offers a memorable base for discovering this part of Stirling.
