About this property

Perched in the village of Killin, Stirlingshire, is this beautiful two-bedroom chalet, Lochay Chalet. Enjoying a superb location within the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park and along the River Lochay, Lochay Chalet is a fabulous choice for couples or a family of four. Upon arrival, you will find off-road parking for two cars, along with a lovely front garden with decking, furniture, and a barbecue, perfect for when you fancy dining alfresco with a backdrop of country views and the sounds of the River Lochay. Be welcomed into the living/dining, where you will find a dining table for four, plush seating, an electric fire, and a TV, perfect for relaxing evenings with loved ones. Continue through to the kitchen, where you can rustle up tasty dishes ready to savour at the dining table over a bottle of wine. After a day of exploring, wash away the day with a soak in the bath with your favourite book, before choosing from one of two well-presented bedrooms, a double with walk-in wardrobe and en-suite shower room, along with a delightful twin. Explore the village, where you can dine at the Shutters Restaurant and the Capercaillie Restaurant and Bar, stock up on essentials at the convenience store, visit the fascinating remains of Finlairg Castle, test out your swing at the excellent Killin Golf Club, or embark on a scenic hike through the Ben Lawers National Nature Reserve. Your exceptional location offers a wealth of scenic walking and cycling trails, as well as the peaks of Ben More and Ben Vorlich, which boast incomparable views at their top. Continue onto Aberfeldy, home to the Aberfeldy Golf Club, an art gallery, the charming Aberfeldy Watermill Bookshop and Café, and the popular Dewar’s Aberfeldy Distillery, where you can tour and taste the renowned whiskey. Pitlochry awaits, with its Atholl Palace Museum, Black Castle Ruins, Pitlochry and Moulin Heritage Centre, and Pitlochry Festival Theatre, and the bustling city of Perth makes for a great day trip, where you can tour The Black Watch Castle Museum, and the Pert Museum & Art Gallery, visit the Huntingtower Castle, or time your visit right to attend the Perth Races in September. All this and more awaits at Lochay Chalet.

Killin, in the Breadalbane district, is located on the outskirts of Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park, and across from the breathtaking Falls of Dochart. Stone circles and cup patterns on rocks attest to the presence of a long-ago civilization in this region. St. Fillan, who brought Christianity to Breadalbane in the eighth century, is honoured with a mill that bears his name and with a holiday celebrated annually on the third Tuesday of January. Two prominent families have deep ties to the town: the Campbells and the MacNab. Near the bridge over the falls is the ancient MacNab burial cemetery of Inchbuie, and to the north of the settlement is Finlarig Castle, the Campbell stronghold. The popularity of Killin as a tourist attraction can be directly attributed to the many media productions that have made use of the waterfalls there. As well as its proximity to Loch Tay, the community also boasts a wide variety of restaurants, taverns, and shops. Killin is surrounded on all sides by mountains that are perfect for hiking, including Ben Lawers to the north, Ben More to the west, and Stobinian to the west.
