We had a lovely stay at this great little flat next to the railway walks in St Fillans. It was really well- appointed with things like loo roll and dishwasher tablets provided. Would thoroughly recommend.

A very comfortable, cosy cottage that is well equipped with everything you need for a week away. St Fillians is a very picturesque village and the cottage is just a few minutes walk from the loch side. There aren’t too many local amenities so be prepared to travel for groceries or meals out.

The cottage was so cosy and lovely, there isn’t a single thing we could fault! Very clean and tidy with no clutter- the log burner was lovely on the night. In regards to the location, what a stunning, peaceful place it was- you can see all this from the living room window too, gorgeous view. The only negative would be there wasn’t really anywhere to eat out so we ended up cooking for ourselves which we didn’t mind as the kitchen was open and easy to use with everything you need. If we were to visit again we would definitely come back to the same cottage, no doubt. So many hikes on your doorstep we just walked straight out onto tracks with our two dogs. Furthermore, there was plenty space around the cottage for our two big dogs (we have two mastiffs). Lastly, the host was perfect, so much information and very accommodating.
