About this property
A traditional 18th century detached cottage in Tyndrum in Scotland. Well-furnished to provide comfortable accommodation, this cottage is perfect for families or groups to come and enjoy this beautiful part of Scotland. Step up the two steps into this white cottage, and two steps down into the warming family sitting room, a well-presented room with comfortable seating, Sky TV and a stunning feature fireplace with a woodburning stove. The kitchen and dining area is well-appointed with stylish fixtures and fittings and a traditional bench at the dining table. The ground floor is complete with a family shower room and two cosy, well-furnished bedrooms with scenic views towards the surrounding countryside. The first floor comes with two well-decorated twin bedrooms with ample storage and more excellent views. To the rear of The Auld Tyndrum Cottage is a large well-kept lawn with charming furniture and two rivers bordering the property. Tyndrum village centre is just a short walk away, a place offering restaurants, pubs and shops. There is also two railway stations should you want to travel further afield. There is plenty of walking and cycling opportunities nearby in the Lock Lomond National Park. Glencoe and and Inverary are both places worth visiting also. The Auld Tyndrum Cottage is a fantastic cottage in a stunning rural location.
Tyndrum began bringing cattle from the Highlands to markets in central Scotland. Its importance for travel in the Highlands is still there today with two railway stations and a petrol station on the road which divides just north of the village to go to either Oban or north to Rannoch Moor. Tyndrum has a Tourist Information Centre, restaurants, a pub and the Green Welly Stop with restaurant. For walkers, the West Highland Way passes through the village and continues north to the majestic Rannoch Moor and spectacular Glencoe.

There were 5 adults and 3 children. The bedrooms were lovely and comfortable. The living room was spacious with ample seating and the wonderful log fire which we used most nights. The dining table area is a little cramped for 8 people but we all fit in. We had everything we needed in the kitchen and there are lots of recycling bins which is brilliant. There are some lovely walks right by the property and there are a couple of shops (including the green welly stop) and pub/cafes only a few minutes away. We would definitely recommend the Auld Cottage.

Being on the west highland road route there were plenty of walks for us to do, and the shop, pub, restaurant and cafe 3 minute walk away, definitely ticked all the boxes for us. Thank you

We found it quite cold in the cottage, especially the kitchen and the living room. Although there was a log burner there that we could use, by the time we arrived back later in the day, we would have preferred a more convenient option. There are not very many dishes to cook in so do not understand how a family of 6 would cope. We were cold at night and had to ask the owner for blankets which he provided. The front and back doors were not easy to lock/unlock although we were told the back door was to be replaced after our stay.
