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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Lovely house in a beautiful location
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!

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.

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.

A little corner of tranquility
We had a wonderful stay in the cottage, a real home from home. We enjoyed exploring the area, and returning home to the deer's at the end of the garden. Everything we needed was provided, including wood for the fire. Beautifully decorated and furnished, with plenty of space. Looking forward to returning.
