About this cottage rental

Appletree Cottage is a spacious, bright, architect-designed, luxury self-catering lodge set in the peaceful surroundings of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. Sleeping up to 8 people in four bedrooms - each with its own shower, wash basin and WC, Appletree features a large living space full of natural daylight with huge picture windows giving fabulous views southwards towards the distant Kilpatrick Hills.


Eco-friendly, the cottage is well insulated and has solar panels. Hot water and heating are powered by a district heating biomass boiler which uses locally sourced sustainable timber. There is a wood-burning stove for added cheer in the winter.

Mobility-impaired users will find easy access to the living space and adjoining ground floor en-suite bedroom and patio as they are all on one level with ample room for a wheelchair.

Set in its own private garden, the cottage has a south-facing private patio accessible through a huge glass sliding door from the living space for alfresco dining.

Children are welcome, and we can provide a travel cot, high chair and toddler chair if required.
We are mindful of those with allergies, so do not allow dogs or pets..

​This is the perfect spot to sit back and enjoy some wildlife spotting, The cottage is popular with stargazers as the skies are dark with no nearby street lighting.

Although in a rural setting, Appletree is ideal for exploring Glasgow, Stirling, Loch Lomond and the Trossachs.

Excellent accommodation with amazing views . Great location for visiting Loch Lomond and the Trossacs. Murray and Ali were really helpful. Would highly recommend.

Absolutely amazing stay at Appletree. Murray and Ally couldn’t be more helpful, even helping us out after a puncture and shuttling us to the house. The cottage is sparkling clean and has everything you need, great local info from hosts on restaurants and activities. We stayed for 1 week and could’ve easily stayed longer, the weather was excellent and we enjoyed the garden in the morning and early evening. Local pubs and restaurants a short walk or taxi away. It was an absolute pleasure to stay and enjoy everything the cottage has to offer.

Very good standard of accommodation. Very comfortable beds, bright and airy lounge area with high windows. Very rural location. Quiet but no pubs/restaurants within walking distance. Would recommend for a large group (8 adults).
