Guests that stayed at this property said

Most guests found the property clean and well-maintained, though there was a single mention of disappointment regarding cleanliness in one of the ensuites, suggesting a generally high standard with room for improvement.

The property's location is consistently lauded for its scenic views, proximity to local shops and restaurants, and its central position for exploring Loch Lomond and the West coast of Scotland, indicating a near-perfect setting.

Guests frequently complimented the property's comfort, noting the spacious and comfortable bedrooms, cosy atmosphere, and the hot tub as highlights, indicating a very comfortable stay overall.

The property is celebrated for its well-stocked kitchen, ample parking, and bonus features like a hot tub and games room. However, some issues with the car charger and entertainment systems were noted, suggesting that while facilities are generally excellent, there is some room for maintenance improvements.

While the reviews reflect a well-thought-out property catering to large groups, there is no mention of gifts or special touches that would fall under the category of thoughtfulness. Therefore, this score cannot be provided.

    The large open-plan kitchen/diner enabled us to bring in a chef and his team to prepare a special birthday dinner. The house was warm and comfortable and spotlessly clean. Killin is superbly located for walks and hikes and even a game of golf on the little jewel of a course on the edge of the village. We came from North, East and West and the village was central for all of us. A great weekend for young and old!

  • Ronald

    The property was perfect in every way particularly the ample supply of glasses and kitchen equipment.

  • Julie

    All bedrooms are spacious, well appointed and the house was very clean. Kitchen is very well-equipped with everything you need to cater for a large group. We had no problems with hot water, heating or wi-fi. I wouldn't hesitate to return to this beautiful property. Our visit in February was blessed with dry sunny weather and Killin is a lovely place to explore.
