About this cottage rental

Vorlich Cottage is set within an 18th century watermill and stunningly located in the heart of the Loch Lomond National Park. Situated in its own 10 acres within a private country estate overlooking Loch Lomond , its islands and magificent mountain backdrop, Vorlich Cottage provides a unique location with unforgettable scenery. The Lorn Mill is a traditional Scottish farm steading and has been owned and lovingly restored by the same family for the last 30 years. There is a private tennis court in the garden for guests to use - it has spectacular views of the Loch so may put you off your game!
The approach to the cottage is up a private wooded track revealing your first sight of Loch Lomond as you round the bend to the Mill. There is plenty of private parking when you arrive. Your front door is reached following a gravel path round the Mill.
There is an entrance hall in which to hang coats and leave boots. The open-plan kitchen /dining room leads off from the hall. The kitchen is fully equipped with oven, hob, dishwasher, fridge/freezer and round dining table for 6 . A garden door leads you onto a tiled area for outdoor eating, the garden and tennis court.
Off the entrance hall is the downstairs bedroom (can be made up as a kingsized double or twin beds). It has an ensuite shower room with large power shower, basin, WC, heated towel rail and underfloor heating.
The staircase leading up from the entrance hall takes you to the upstairs sitting room and second ensuite bedroom. The sitting room has a log burning stove, large window overlooking the garden, tennis court, mountains and glimpses of the Loch. You will see gorgeous sunsets from here and amazing streaky evening skies. The room provides TV, DVD, docking station and games, books and magazines.

My son and I stayed at Vorlich Cottage as part of our Scotland trip. It is off the beaten path, which is just what we were looking for. Driving into the property you are just astounded by the natural beauty of the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park. The owners could not have been more welcoming. The cottage is so comfortable and perfectly situated. We had all we needed and then some. The location was perfect for hikes and for a base to set out for other explorations. There are nearby shops so you can eat in or great restaurants near for dining out. We were sad to leave such a magical place. Vorlich Cottage was such a special place to stay. We can honestly say this has been our best trip.

If you want to step off the treadmill and take time out for many ‘stand and stare’ moments Vorlick Cottage is the place for you. We had a very relaxing stay due mainly to its location - it’s fabulous. The view onto Loch Lomond, and its surrounding fells and Bens is captivating. Lucky with the weather (early April) we sat outside most evenings (wrapped up warm) in the Christmas tree wood in the garden watching the changing colours of the loch and fells as the light changed. With only the sound of wind in the trees, chinking glass, lambs and their mother’s bleating, birds’ chorus, and the odd thwack of balls on racquets, until the chill drove us back into the warmth and comfort of the cottage. There can’t be many tennis courts with a view like this! The cottage’s quality of decor, furnishings and beds are excellent, we slept very well. Claire our host, was very welcoming and we followed her suggestion for a peaceful walk through the private estate, joining Balloch country park by Loch Lomond and into the hustle and bustle of tourism. Only there for four nights on our way north we ventured out each day to the usual attractions, but we couldn’t wait to get back to Vorlick Cottage.

The property was just beautiful. Claire was generous and kind. It rained everyday we were there, but it didn't dampen our spirits at all. The trip and accommodations were amazing and I would recommend this beautiful property as a home base to anyone who wants a great stay while they explore the beauty of Scotland.

The cottage is lovely, with splendid views over Loch Lomond. From the garden you have Ben Lomond in front of you. And sometimes the Ben is gone if there is Scottish drizzle around. The walks nearby are very good, with stunning views on the way. The walk into Balloch is worthwhile, have a nice lunch in Balloch and walk back. Claire is a good and welcoming host. She gave good information, and she is nearby if you need help, but respects the guest privacy at the same time. The cottage inside has everything you need, with nice areas to choose from with nice views again, with welcoming sweets. Lots of birds around, and we spotted a deer on our walk back from Balloch. We will come back when we come over from the Netherlands and choose this area again in Scotland. Thx Clair.

Excellent accommodation. Well equipped with everything you need for an extended stay. Description and photos are accurate. Nice gardens with a lovely elevated seating area with expansive loch views - perfect for an evening wine or chilling back with a book. Claire is a responsive host. Hiking trails from the property. Short drive into Balloch which is a pretty town with all facilities. We found it an excellent central base for touring throughout the Loch Lomond area and also with Stirling and Glasgow less than a hour's drive away. Highly recommend.

It's a bit of magic to stay in a place so comfortable in a region with stunning beauty. A quiet location deep on a private drive - just the sheep to keep you company on walks in the area. The walk to the Balloch train station is no far, and worth the steps for the views!

After the stunning view over Loch Lomond at arrival we got surprised by a warm welcome of the landlord and also a nice surprise in the house. We could feel the warmth to make our stay special. You find everything you need, including all information around the place, e.g. restaurants. All recommendations were exactly as described and worth visiting. You also find a guidebook to find all information, whatever you need. The stunning view every evening after returning from amazing tours in the area has helped us to relax and feel so good. I didn‘t remember to sleep so deep for a very long time. Whoever needs peace and inspiration during his vacation will exactly find it. For us a perfect stay.
