About this property

Close to Loch Leven. Excellent location for travelling & keen golfers.

You are viewing one of Scotland’s hidden gems. Just 4 miles from the M90, we are ideally situated in a picturesque rural location with outstanding views across Loch Leven (famous for its brown trout) and Castle Island, where Mary Queen of Scots was imprisoned. Nestled between the Lomond and Bishop hills, with views across to the hills of Cleish and the Ochils, we are the perfect base to explore many of Scotlands cities and towns. The property is in a private village with little traffic, yet is close to several towns and cities. You are only 30 minutes from Edinburgh, Perth, Dundee, Stirling, Glenrothes, Kirkcaldy, St Andrews and only 1 hour from Glasgow. With great park and ride facilities, nowhere is out of reach! The area is well served by local farms who produce fresh seasonal local produce & gifts etc and there is a local supermarket in Kinross which is only a 10 minute car journey. The property is perfectly situated for Golfers as it is within easy commuting distance to Gleneagles, St Andrews, Carnoustie and other courses throughout the Fife and Perthshire area. You can also visit the beautiful coastal villages in the East Neuk of Fife, all very accessible by car. The historical village of Falkland is about 15 minutes away which was included in the famous Outlander series.

The House:

The house and the original buildings within the village were part of a former hospital which was built in 1918 to accommodate soldiers injured in the First World War. The following year the hospital became a sanatorium due to the air quality being pure so which remains today!!!

The house is an end terraced split over 2 levels with 3 bedrooms (can sleep 7). Upstairs there is a spacious lounge with balcony, There is sky TV, WiFi, a comfortable seating area and dining table situated within the living room. Upstairs there is a double front facing bedroom and a toilet room.

Downstairs there are 2 double bedrooms, (the second double bedroom consists of a bunk bed with double mattress on the bottom and single above), bathroom, well equipped kitchen, conservatory and terraced garden, the perfect place to enjoy a glass of something listening to the birds and passing wildlife.

It’s the perfect place to relax and enjoy stunning views of Loch Leven and the surrounding countryside. It’s the the ideal holiday or short break destination for lovers of the great outdoors and who want to take part in the wide range of activities on offer in this part of Kinross-shire. The area is renowned for its cycle and walk friendly routes, golf courses, fishing, gliding and paragliding, horse riding, RSPB sites, Covenanter Trail and we are right in the heart of Outlander Territory!

Great access glasgow and Edinburgh... we went to the park and ride and got the tram to Edinburgh. Loch leven larder is a must visit too!I would definitely return.Only slight down side was a partial blocked view of the loch. But that cannot be helped unfortunately. Thank you again for a great stay x

Need a car

The house is remote, not close to anywhere and is not close to the lake walking distance around 1:20 mins in car 10 minsThe house is big and spacious. For us was ok because we used just sleep and go. We was visiting different towns... You can't see the lake from there, you need to walk a good 35 minute to view point to see the lake in the distance

Perfect Easter break

We had a lovely time staying at Glenlomond as a family of six adults, one toddler and two dogs. Great accommodation that was well equipped, stunning views to Loch Leven and close to travel links and points of interest like Craigtoun Country Park, St Andrew’s, Edinburgh, Loch Leven and the nature reserve. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending and hope to be back one day. Thankyou Kathryn for letting us stay in your home.

Lovely location

We had a lovely time exploring parts of Fife and local walks, including the Loch Leven heritage trail, Up to John Knox's pulpit and beyond to west Lomond. These lovely walks were accessible from the house without the car. The Larder was great for small gifts and local produce and delicious lunch and coffees, also within walking distance of the house. Wonderful views over Loch Leven from the sitting room and patio area. House was great and spacious for a family gathering of 7.

Beautiful House

Absolutely beautiful property. We stayed for the New year with friends that we haven't seen for a long time. The house is so well equipped with everything you could possibly need. It's very spacious and just lovely, but what made it extra special was the gorgeous Christmas tree set up in the lounge which is stunning and comfortable. The house was warm and relaxing and we loved the original floors and the shower room was the best. Can't wait to return, maybe in the summer so we can make use of the patio area at the back. Loved it

Glenlomond

This property is exquisite. Beautifully decorated, incredible views of Loch Leven and very well stocked kitchen. Little extras, to get us started (coffee, sugar, etc), extra linens, etc. We did not have a car and that was a challenge, however we did a long hike directed to by the neighbors, and later in our stay they offered to chauffer us to to Falkland and the castle. Lynda and Eileen certainly offered transportation above and beyond to make our stay that much more enjoyable. ( they even post a left item to us) Thank you. Kathryn was very responsive to a simple request. She came in a very timely manner. I would highly recommend this place to relax, hike, and visit roads less travelled. PS Visit the Toll Tavern for DELICIOUS food and say hi to Neil.

Das Haus am See

Es handelte sich um eine schöne Ferienwohnung die im Erdgeschoss mit 2 Schlafzimmer (einmal mit einem etwas schmalen Doppelbett und einmal mit Stockbett) einer gut ausgestatteten Küche (incl. Spülmaschine, Waschmaschine Wäschetrockner war leider defekt) und einem schönen Wintergarten mit Blick auf den See. Das Bad hat eine wahrhafte große Luxusdusche !Oben ein weiteres Schlafzimmer, ein schönes Wohnzimmer und eine weitere Toilette. Tagsüber war es man manchmal etwas lauter, da am Nachbarhaus ein Haus ein neues Dach bekommen hat und manchmal die Nachbarsmkinder herumgetobt sind. Dafür war es auch wieder mal absolut ruhig und man konnte den Wintergarten genießen. Wir waren insgesamt zufrieden, mit den Türen sind wir nicht so zurecht gekommen (Schliessmechanismuss klemmt). Zusammenfassend die perfekte Wohnung für Touren nach Edingburgh usw...

Fantastic property in an excellent location

This is a very clean and spacious property in a peaceful setting with all the amenities a family needs. The views from the house over Loch Leven are stunning (we were blessed with good weather) and the house is is very convenient for the Loch and all the activities it has to offer. We used the Loch Leven Larder and Loch Leven cycle hire, both of which are no more than a 20 minute walk from the house (5 minutes by car) and offered excellent service and choice of products. Highlight of the stay for us was the warm welcome and food at the nearby Balgedie Toll pub. That should be a 'must' for anyone staying in the property!

Fantastic stay with stunning views.

Absolutely lovely house with the most stunning views, (even the children appreciated the beautiful scenery!!) The house is lovely, very well equipped and spotlessly clean, in a lovely quiet village, Very Tranquil. The next door neighbours were so lovely and friendly and recommended plenty of places to see and visit with the children, which we did and they throughly enjoyed, especially the paddleboarding at lochore meadows. We all had a fantastic time away and will definitely be booking again, will also be highly recommending to all our friends and family. Thank you very much for such a lovely stay.

About the host

Hosted by Kathryn Macrae

Host profile image
Hi my name is Kathryn and this property was the family home which I was brought up in from the age of 12 years. Due to our love for the home and it’s location we decided to offer it to guests as a holiday retreat. I moved on from Glenlomond to start my nursing career in 1996 and then had family of my own. Due to the wonderful memories of Glenlomond we decided to keep it to allow family, friends and guests to also enjoy what it has to offer.
