"A really lovely cabin with great views."
Lots of wildlife around, we saw red deer, woodpeckers and the bird feeders outside the bedroom are lovely for watching all the visitors in the morning. Wood fired hot tub is brilliant and the wood burning stove in the cabin makes it really cost very quickly. The kitchen is really well equipped and the shower was very good.

The property
Lochearnhead 1.2 miles.
Nestling within a secluded woodland setting, Am Bothan, Edinchip near Locheranhead in Stirling enjoys a magical location and offers the perfect escape for a family or a couple.
Whilst outside the property you can be at one with nature, inside offers a warm and inviting space (helped by the underfloor heating throughout!) which is a tranquil sanctuary and gives its guests the opportunity to enjoy a truly transformative break.
The property has been finished to a high specification and benefits from a wonderful open-plan living space with a snug corner sofa, TV, woodburning stove and feature sliding doors opening onto a decking area which offers mesmerising woodland views.
The kitchen is compact and has everything you need to rustle up a pleasant meal whether it is a romantic dinner for two or hearty family fayre using some of the fantastic local produce on offer in the area.
Those all-important views can be enjoyed whilst tucking into a meal at the dining table and this is the perfect spot to kick back with a glass of wine and make the most of spending quality time with family and loved ones.
The kids will be delighted with the cool bunk beds whilst the superbly appointed double bedroom has doors opening onto the decking area with stunning views over the adjoining forest.
Just imagine throwing open the doors in the morning and breathing in the fresh, forest air before preparing a tasty breakfast to enjoy out on the decking area.
To top it all off at the end of a busy day of activities, why not fire up the wood-fired hot tub, have a soak and really relax while taking in those simply sublime views?
It really doesn’t get much better than that.
Despite its remote setting, Am Bothan is only a mile from the A84 and a number of long-distance walking and cycling routes giving guests the opportunity to really explore the wonders of Highland Perthshire and Stirlingshire.
Nearby attractions include Five Munros and Lochs Earn and Lubnaig for watersports and picturesque Callander is a popular destination.
Look out for one of Scotland’s finest birds, the red kite at Argaty Red Kites or enjoy a steamship cruise on Loch Katrine and you can do day trips to Edinburgh and Glasgow from here.
For a trip to remember in a superb woodland setting, Am Bothan is definitely worth a visit.

Where you’ll be staying
BALQUHIDDER, PERTHSHIRE, SCOTLAND
Callander 13 miles; Stirling 24 miles; Glasgow 54 miles; Edinburgh 68 miles
The Braes of Balquhidder is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Steeped in history and legend, the Celts believed it to be a ‘thin place’ where the boundary between the spiritual world and the earthly world is minimal. Rob Roy MacGregor, the infamous 17th century outlaw who lived in and around the area, is buried in the ruins of the first Balquhidder kirk which dates from 1631. Inside the present kirk, built in 1855, is the St. Angus gravestone, an early Christian missionary who bought Christianity to the area in the 7th century. Balquhidder is a place of songs, stories, ley lines and cup stones. As a test of strength, people throughout the ages have attempted to lift a stone (94kg) onto a neolithic plinth named the Pudraic stone. This ancient ritual continues today, and the site is only a stone’s throw from here if you want to have a go. Along one of the many walks is Creag anTuirc (Boars rock), the ancient rallying place of the Clan MacLaren where once beacons were lit. Kirkton Glen is a three-hour loop along the forest track up into the hills. If you would like to explore the area whether on land or on water, mountain bikes, e-bikes, canoes, kayaks, and paddle boards are available for hire from Roll Outdoors, at the entrance to the glen. A variety of eateries are nearby, including a 5-mile drive to The Broch Café in Strathyre, renowned for its Scottish breakfasts (closed January and February), or perhaphs visit Mhor 84 for a spot of lunch in the sun, or for something a little more special, head to the top of the geln for a fine dining experience to remember at Monachyle Mhor. Balquhidder is a magical, mystical setting in which to enjoy a relaxed holiday or use as a base to tour this beautiful area of Scotland.
