About this property

Luxury cottage in Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park

Appletree Cottage is a spacious, bright, recently purpose-built luxury self catering lodge set in the peaceful and spectacular 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 and living space full of natural daylight with huge picture windows looking southwards across open countryside to the Kilpatrick Hills, 4 miles distant.

Eco Friendly the cottage (EPC band B) is well insulated. Hot water and heating is 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 ground floor living space and adjoining ground floor en-suite bedroom and patio as they are all on one level There is ample space to turn a wheelchair(please see separate details)

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

Children (but not pets, as we keep the cottage clear for allergy sufferers) are welcome and we can provide a travel cot, high chair and toddler chair if required.

​This is the perfect spot to sit back and engage in some wildlife spotting and even better, you wont have to go far to see some of Scotland’s rarer and iconic animals and birds within the national park. Also popular with star gazers 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.

Family get together!
The property was perfect for our needs of spending some quality time together in a more than comfortable environment. Each of us had our own bedroom and bathroom with large, comfortable beds and excellent showers. The log burning fire and amazing countryside views made staying inside a luxury. The many walks and country pubs nearby kept us entertained. Boating on Loch Lomond was less than 15 mins away. Finally, we must mention our accommodating hosts, Murray and Ali who were there to welcome us and help throughout our stay. From electric car charging points to borrowing rice & purchasing more logs. Thank you!! Perfect mini break!

About the host

Hosted by Murray and Alli Peterson

Host profile image
We built Appletree Cottage in 2016. Architect designed specifically for the holiday vacation self catering market the cottage has proved a great success with many guests.
We enjoy meeting people and are now experienced in running our popular venture.
After 20 years working in London it is a pleasure for both of us to return to Scotland and live in this beautiful part of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park.
The farm is an apple orchard (hence the name of the cottage) and in the autumn we produce and sell apple juice and jellies locally.

Why they chose this property

Appletree Cottage is great for family and friends reunions.
The living area is ideal as it is large and open plan with ample space for eight people. As the lounge, dining room, breakfast bar and well equipped kitchen are all in the one room it means every one is together and nobody is left out .
In sunny weather the private patio is perfect for alfresco dining with fantastic views across Cameron Muir to the famous Whangy and the Kilpatrick Hills. On cooler days sitting inside is just as good. The southern wall of the communal living area is glazed so bird watching and wildlife spotting are just as good from the comfort of your armchair!
The four bedrooms are all en-suite and can be made up either as four double bedrooms or as two doubles and two twins (with two single beds in each twin) This makes it superbly flexible for families.
Ideally placed within the world acclaimed Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park there are many local out door activities including golf (11 nearby courses) walking, climbing, riding, sailing, kayaking, pleasure cruising, clay pidgeon shooting, and visiting the islands on Loch Lomond.
On the damper days Stirling and Glasgow are easily accessible with their many attractions. There are local swimming pools, gym, spa, sealife centre and many castles and distilleries to visit!
Appletree is awarded 4 stars by the Scottish Tourist Board (Visit Scotland)

What makes this property unique

The design and location of Appletree Cottage makes it unique.
Over the years the owners have stayed in many holiday rentals across the world. Building Appletree Cottage was the opportunity to bring all of the best experiences together and build the perfect venue for the self catering holiday.
The way the space works for eight people together is superb. The open aspect of the living area is enhanced by the huge glass windows and double height lounge. Even on days when the weather is wet this cosy friendly cottage is the ideal place to relax and look out at the view.
