We had a great stay at Caroline and Ken’s place. It’s a lovely typically Scottisch house. Inside and out. Warm and with eye for detail. It’s noticible that it it’s owners take care of it with love. If you like to walk, cicle or have interest in history, there’s enough information about the surroundings. It only takes a 15 minutes to half an hour drive te climb your first Mountain in the Highlands or visit the city of Glasgow. If you stay in the Coop is around the corner, and there’s always the pub. Thanks Caroline and Ken, for having us!

This lovely cottage is warm and welcoming, and we, a family of four, have spent a wonderful time here. The kitchen, especially the Everhot, is simply a fantastic place for enjoying family dinners in a very cosy setting. The living room is just as you would expect—cosy and full of comfortable furniture.A highlight of the master bedroom is the soft Tempur mattress, which makes every night a dream. The landlord, Ken, was always available for any questions that came up—fantastic support.If you're looking for a truly traditional cottage in the beautiful area of Killean, you should definitely consider this one.

We loved our 3 week stay at this delightful cottage. It was extremely comfortable, with a well equiped kitchen to self cater and a super co-op just minutes walk away. The large smart TV was also a bonus as we were there during Wimbledom and the start of the Olympics.We loved the village and all the wonderful walks that were available to us right from the front door. Killearn is also extremely well located to so many attractions making it easy to venture out on half day or day trips. Ken was a super host, very responsive and very helpful which made the whole experience even more memorable. Thank you so much.
6.0 / 10.0Average·May 2025
Dishwasher is a must. Cleanliness of cooking equipment lacking (no dishwasher, eco products?). Limited surfaces for food preparation or computer/printer connection. Beautiful bathroom upstairs, but sink has no mixer tap nor plug, and wet shaving is a trial given the mirror situation. Sleep quality affected by too small bed size.Unfortunately not the property for us.
