The property

Garth Cottage is an outstanding lodge resting beside the River Lochay in Killin, Stirling, complete with off-road parking, a private hot tub, and an open-plan living space designed around its riverside setting.

Created for two guests, this single-storey retreat blends natural materials with a layout that keeps the outdoors firmly in view.

Step inside and the open-plan living area unfolds with the river as its backdrop, where large windows draw in natural light and shifting reflections from the water.

The kitchen is thoughtfully arranged to make mealtimes feel unhurried, with everything flowing into the dining and sitting space so conversation continues throughout the day.

The sitting area provides a place to unwind, with views that remain ever-present, while underfloor heating runs beneath the flooring to create a consistent sense of warmth across the space.

The king-size bedroom offers a generous and calming retreat, complete with its own en-suite that includes both a bath and walk-in shower, allowing you to start or end the day at your own pace.

The design throughout the cottage keeps a connection to the riverside setting, with each area feeling part of the same considered space.

Outside, the decking sits directly alongside the water, where seating invites you to pause and take in the steady movement of the river.

The hot tub is positioned to enjoy this same outlook, offering a different perspective across the changing light and scenery.

Killin is within easy reach, where the Falls of Dochart create a striking focal point as water cascades over a series of rocky formations.

Along Loch Tay, long shoreline walks and open views provide plenty to explore, while Aberfeldy offers The Birks of Aberfeldy, a woodland gorge with winding paths and elevated viewpoints.

For a broader perspective, Ben Lawers introduces highland landscapes and expansive scenery that define this part of Scotland.

Garth Cottage offers a memorable base for discovering the character of Killin and beyond.

KILLIN

Aberfeldy 22 miles; Pitlochry 36 miles; Perth 44 miles.

The village of Killin, on the edge of the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park, in the area of Breadalbane, sits across the stunning Falls of Dochart and has been settled since ancient times. Cup markings on rocks and stone circles tell of an ancient race that inhabited this area. Christianity came to Breadalbane in the 8th century with St Fillan with the Mill bearing his name and St Fillan’s Day held on the 3rd Tuesday in January. The village is strongly associated with two renowned clans, Clan Campbell and Clan MacNab. Finlarig Castle, to the north of the village, was the Campbell stronghold and the MacNabs have their ancient burial ground of Inchbuie near the bridge over the falls. Killin today is a popular tourist destination, due in no small part to the use of the falls in various films and television programmes. The village today has a varied selection of shops, bars and restaurants and watersports are available on nearby Loch Tay. Ideal for walking, Killin has Ben Lawers, the highest of the surrounding Bens, to the north and Ben More and Stobinian to the west.
