A stunning location, quiet and calm. Easy access to lots of lovely places to visit. Sadly, we didn't get the chance to fish, but I could have done so from the bedroom!A cosy place to spend time, and a great base to tour the area.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay in Strathyre. The cabin was equipped with all the amenities you could need, and absolutely spotless on our arrival. The perfect base to explore the national park in the surrounding area with plenty of paths and routes. We particularly enjoyed settling in in the evening, lighting the log burner and unwinding after a long day of hiking. Highly recommend to everyone, including couples and small families!!

Wonderful Stay

Our family of 4 enjoyed our 3 weeks in Strathyre. The cabin was cozy and right on the river. It was a great spot with nice walks nearby. The local store and pub were within walking distance. The cabin provide a great base to explore Scotland.

Lovely place to hunker down in peace and quiet. The log burner was brilliant for a cosy night in and it has everything you could need. Beautiful location with enough around and nearby to explore and stay occupied. Would highly recommend

Lovely cabin

We enjoy Scotland. Lovely cabin in very quiet place. Ideal to walk around in the nature. Loch very close. Édimbourg around 1h15. Stirling at 30 min also in Glencoe valley in less than 1 hour . This is a must to visit. So amazing and probably one of most beautiful place in Scotland

Outdated interior en not clean house!

The owner is very friendly, she helps you if you have any questions. But she stopped maintaining the house a very long time ago. Dirty windows, mirrors, a lot of spiderwebs, an old matras and outdated sofas. Think she needs a hand in preparing the house for guests, because the location is beautiful. Hope she will make changes….

Fabulous cabin in a perfect location

We're a family of four (kids aged 8 and 5) and absolutely loved our stay here! The cabin is one of a handful on a private, quiet site. It sits right next to the river (which was quite low when we were there) and has beautiful views of Bein an t-Sithean - "the hill of the fairies". It also seems to be one of the only cabins to get the last of the evening sun! It's in a perfect location for walking, cycling and kayaking. There's a little play area just a 2 min walk away and a pub just 5 mins walk. Broch cafe is only a 5/10 min walk down the river and, if you have bikes, it's worth cycling up to Mhor 84 motel. Great food (and ice cream!) Karen was a great host, providing lots of information and was easily contactable if we needed her - which we didn't as the cabin is very well set up and had everything we needed! None of us wanted to leave! We'll definitely be going back.

House for a couple with 2 or 3 children, not 2 couples

House was cosy, loved the woodburner, nice and clean bathroom and very good kitchen. We found the house, exept the bathroom, very dirty so we had to clean it ourselves. We were with two couples and found the bedrooms not made for that. It is okay for a couple with 2 or 3 children. The room with the 3 beds is actually a bunkbed of which the lower bed is a small double bed with the upper bed 60cm above it. The matresses on thes beds were very soft. There is no closet in this bedroom.

Half term introduction to Scotland and hillwalking

The cabin was a perfect base for us to explore the Trossachs and Glencoe, the children loved exploring and feeding the ducks. We heard owls at night. The river was fast flowing so worth keeping a close eye on children and pets. The cabin was spotlessly clean, cosy and comfortable and there are plenty of games and dvds. We hope to visit again soon.

Balvaig log cabin.

Great location right beside the river in the most beautiful part of Scotland with scenery to make your hairs stand on end. If you like walking, cycling or just sitting in a log cabin with the stove on with a wee dram watching Netflix then this is the place for you.
