Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviewers consistently mention the lodge being spotlessly clean, indicating a high standard of cleanliness that contributes positively to their overall experience.
The location is frequently described as beautiful with great views, though some guests mentioned nearby building work as a temporary disturbance. The natural surroundings and wildlife are highlights.
Comfort is highly rated with guests appreciating the cosy atmosphere and quick heating. Suggestions for outdoor seating and a stool for comfort were made, but these do not significantly detract from the overall comfort of the lodge.
Facilities are generally well-received with the lodge being well-equipped. However, there were comments about the lack of a can opener, a lamp in the twin bedroom, and a mop, indicating room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.
The welcome pack and extras provided are appreciated and seen as a thoughtful gesture by the host. It should be noted that while such gifts are warmly received, they are a courtesy and not guaranteed for every stay.
About this property
Tucked away in the picturesque Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park in the charming village of St Fillans is Rowan. This fabulous, dog-friendly lodge benefits from a welcoming, open-plan interior with electric flame-effect stove, off-road parking space and excellent location in the breath-taking and fun-filled Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park; the perfect setting for families, friends or couples looking to explore the wonders of Perthshire. Cross the threshold into your new home-from-home where you can unwind in front of the Smart TV by the gentle warmth of the electric flame-effect stove while the designated chef of the group rustles up a hearty meal in the fully equipped kitchen. Dine together at the dining table or indulge in an alfresco affair upon the decking; the perfect place to raise a toast to your well-earned break! When stars appear overhead, travel back inside to wash off the day’s adventures in the bathroom before sloping off to sleep in one of two bedrooms; choose between a double with a handy en-suite or twin. First thing in the morning, if you can pull yourself away, head to Loch Earn, which is literally right outside your door, and try your hand at paddleboarding, kayaking, water-skiing, and wakeboarding. St Fillans Golf Club is a popular 9-hole course that also features a bar and restaurant. You can spend your time hiking in the nearby mountains of Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park and then refuel with hearty meals at one of the area's hotels. Achray House Ben Vorlich, a fantastic vantage point to take in magnificent views, is just a short walk away from the railway and the Four Seasons hotel, making it easily accessible to hikers. The café in the local convenience store serves up delicious beverages and baked goods. Travel to Perth, if you'd rather spend your time in a thriving city, where you can visit attractions like the Black Watch Castle and Museum, Perth Museum & Art Gallery, and Kinnoull Hill Woodland Park, as well as a wide variety of retail establishments, eateries, and watering holes where you can buy groceries, relax with a drink, and get some work done. Be sure to stop at the childhood home of Mary, Queen of Scots, Stirling Castle, one of Scotland's largest and most important castles. Experience all this and more at Rowan!

Mop essential to dry wet floor when coming in from rain. No cleaning equipment available to clean with while youâre there or before you leave. A spare bin bag would be good too. Cupboards and shelves in kitchen so full of âstuffâ that there is no room left for your own groceries etc. Otherwise, very comfortable and an enjoyable holiday experience in a beautiful spot of Scotland.
