Blinkbonnie Cottage, a place of tranquillity & beauty in a country setting.

Blinkbonnie Cottage is set in beautiful forest covered countryside on the Glen Ogle and Leskin Estate, within the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park. The cottage faces directly south, so the garden is a sun trap which overlooks a small lochan and is a haven for wildlife, with woodlands & hills beyond.
Blinkbonnie has had a major upgrade within the last three years & we will continue to make improvements to provide comfortable & enjoyable accommadation and facilities for our guests.
The accommodation comprises of a good sized living/dining room, including a wood burner if the weather turns cold. There are french doors opening out to the rear garden and lead to a lochan with forests beyond. The internal hall leads to the newly fitted shower room and the two bedrooms, one including a king sized bed & the other with twin beds. A new kitcken was installed last year with all new utilities provided.
The panoramic views from the bedrooms take in the local forests and hills.
Whilst the cottage is in a rural setting, it is only a five minute drive to the village of Killin which is home to the famous Falls of Dochart, at the western end of Loch Tay. The village has various eating places; gift shops and a very well stocked modern COOP for all your needs.
The village of Lochearnhead, a 10 minute drive away where all forms of water sports and fishing are available. We have two golf courses within 20 minutes and many more a little further away. It is also is an ideal base for walkers & cyclists with many cycle routes and footpaths locally to try and explore.
If you are looking for a cosy country cottage holiday to explore a beautiful area of Scotland, then Blinkbonnie Cottage is waiting for you.

Peace and quiet

Amazing week away. The cottage was top notch. Surrounded by wildlife and the quiet of the countryside. An hour away from Stirling and Oban which we visited. Nice pub and food in killin sat next to the falls. Much needed digital detox for the kids. Superb place.

Quiet secluded cottage

The cottage was clean and comfortable. The setting is very lovely, Killin is a quaint little Scottish village, yet a bit more remote than we expected. Having a car is not an option, it's a definate requirement for this location. The host always responded to our inquires in a timely manner.

Great base in Wester Lix

My wife, myself and our 2 year old son had a lovely stay at Blinkbonnie cottage during autumn. The cottage is a great base for exploring the north east corner of Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park and around Killin / Loch Tay. The cottage has lovely views out over a small pond and to the woods and hills beyond. The kitchen has everything you need and the whole cottage is clean and modern. The cottage retains heat well and has a log burner for the colder nights. There’s plenty to do in the locality for a weeks’ stay without having to driving huge distances. Seeing the Falls of Dochart in speight was a highlight for us. Thanks for a great stay!

Family summer holiday in Blinkbonnie cottage

Very beautiful cottage at a quiet location with terrific views. Took some time to get used to the water pump and water heating, because it’s taken from a natural source. But everything needed for a great holiday is available and the welcome package was a nice and tasty surprise. Even for me as a tall guy (6ft8) the bed in master bed room was long enough, which was unexpected and a nice bonus. Great location to discover the lower highlands and daytrips to Edinburgh and Glasglow. For some action and adventure the Hydro action centre in Crieff for quad riding and all kinds of golf (normal, midget, frisbee, rugby and football) is fun and the bike park in Comrie Croft is really worth a visit for mountain bikers of any level. We were in luck the Killin highland games was held during our stay, which really added to the Scottish experience. The owners even went the extra mile to make space in their shed for our mountain bikes and to send a left behind iPad to our home.

What a beautiful property! My husband, myself & our two young children had a wonderful holiday at this cottage recently. The house was spotless & was in a great location for family days out. We also received a lovely welcome pack on arrival, which was an extremely thoughtful gesture. We'll definitely be booking again.

Wunderschöne Umgebung / schlechtes Handling

Der Aufenthalt war von der Umgebung sehr schön aber der Kontakt mit dem Besitzer sehr mühsam bis sogar schlecht. Keine rechtzeitigen Antworten auf Fragen im Mail, keine Angaben von Telefon (musste erst im Haus sein) - falsche Passwortangaben etc - aber die wunderschöne Natur hat uns dann entschädigt.

Beautiful place to stay

Highly recommended beautiful cottage. Photos of property do not do it justice! Cottage tastefully decorated, in a beautiful location and was bigger than expected. Great central location to visit many different places. A big thank you to Neill and Paula who replied quickly and was very accomodating, especially with checking in a day early and getting a plumber in very quickly for a fault that occured during stay.

Cozy little cottage

Blinkbonnie cottage has been the perfect little base of operations for our day trips into various parts of Scotland. The location is peaceful and out of the way but central enough to get to pretty much anywhere in the highlands in an hour or two by car. On top of that, our hosts were beyond helpful with answering questions and requests even before we arrived at this great little gem of a place.

Wir haben wunderschöne Tage in diesem Cottage verbracht. Den schönen Garten konnten wir wetterbedingt zwar nicht nutzen, dafür aber Rehe und zahlreiche Vögel beobachten. Das Cottage bietet genug Platz, ist ausgesprochen liebevoll eingerichtet und mit allem ausgestattet, was man so braucht.
