About this property
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.

Absolutely perfect cottage - we didn't want to leave!There was a lovely welcone pack, and everything we could have needed for a comfy stay.Would highly recommend Blinkbonnie.
The property was in an ideal location for visiting Loch Lomond & the surrounding area. Great for local walks in and around Killen. The property was in a peaceful and quiet area.
Wonderful cottage in great location; ideal for reaching the many mountains nearby. Hosts were superb, friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay again.
Lovely property in a beautiful location. Ideally positioned for visiting many interesting places or maybe just stay and relax in garden admiring the wildlife that comes and goes. On our arrival we even had deer across the Lochan! The cottage had everything that you would need and the beds are very comfortable. It was spotlessly clean and our stay was very enjoyable - we’re even thinking about going back later in the year!
What a find!!! Great little place, quiet, very clean and cosy. Nicely decorated. Lovely views and we had red deer in and around the property every day. Mallards in the pond. Killin is just round the corner for pubs and provisions. Can't find a better place in the Trossachs and I have been to a few.
Wonderful stay at this well equipped house. Great location for hill walking, wildlife watching and exploring the area. Lovely to receive a welcome pack and we enjoyed the log fire.
We had a lovely stay and the property was a lovely base to explore the local area.
It had evidently been recently modernised, so felt cozy and well equipped.
The welcome basket was a really lovely touch.
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.
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.
We had a fabulous four day stay at Blinkbonnie Cottage. The cottage was extremely comfortable, warm, clean and very well equipped with everything you could need for your stay.
The location is a great base for exploring Perthshire, Stirlingshire and beyond.
We will most definitely return for another stay in the future.
we were there for 5 nights the place is very nice and quiet.
good place for a base camp . love to see the dear family just across the pond. But next time I go we will take some bottled water
This is a lovely, well maintained, comfortable property in an excellent country location. It is very peaceful, with deer, birds and other wildlife all around . But the village of Killin is only about 2 miles away and has a good supermarket, several restaurants and coffee shops, all very convenient. And the beautiful Falls of Dochart are an added attraction. We loved our stay!
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.
Absolutely lovely cottage in beautiful setting. Cottage was well equipped, very clean and comfortable. Exceptional views from rear garden. Very peaceful location. Welcome pack of water, milk, wine, beer and shortbread. 10/10
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.
