Lochside apartment: stunning views over Loch Katrine

Lochside Apartment is a self-contained two-level property on the edge of Loch Katrine, in the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park, Scotland. Perfect for outdoor-loving folk! The property is on the top two floors of the beautiful Lochside House, which was built in 1900 and recently modernised, with bathrooms, kitchen, sofas and beds all brand new. The stunning views from The Apartment extend over the Loch on two sides giving our guests the opportunity to watch the ever-changing skies from sunrise to dusk.

The apartment has three bedrooms (2 twin, 1 double ensuite) and the top floor with the kitchen and living room has magnificent views down Loch Katrine.
The area is quiet and peaceful, with Stronachlachar Pier a stone's throw from the house. The Pier Cafe does light lunches, coffees and light refreshments.

There is abundant walking locally, and the West Highland Way is only 4.5 miles away, where it passes through Inversnaid with its lovely falls. Slightly further afield are several Bens, e.g. Ben A'an and Ben Venue, and lots of forest walks too. The area is peppered with beautiful lochs, each with their own character and backdrops.

The Apartment can be booked on its own or together with 5-bedroom Lochside House (sleeps 10), to which there is an internal interconnecting door. The door is kept locked if the properties are not booked together. Lochside House has grand, high ceilings, but is cosy and warm with central heating and a wood-burning stove when needed, and a well-equipped kitchen. Perfect for family gatherings, yoga retreats, running holidays, or just to get away from the hurly burly.

Great place to stay

Very private location. A bit of a drive from anywhere (closest town is about 20-30 minutes away) but that’s what made it so nice. Apartment was spacious and private. There were guests in the Lochside House but we never heard anything. Overall great experience

Stronachlachar retreat

A lovely apartment with superb views across Loch Katrine set in the beautiful Trossachs. We saw redpolls, goldfinches and siskins on the feeders and plenty of other wildlife too. The boat, which leaves from the pier is a minutes walk from the apartment and provided an excellent day out. We combined this with a return trip by bike using the traffic free route around the lake. A two way trip by boat is also a popular option The apartment itself was superb. The bedrooms were clean and appeared to have been freshly painted. All bedrooms again had fantastic views out to the lake or on to the surrounding mountains. The kitchen and lounge on the top floor were spacious, modern and clean. A great place to stay for a quiet getaway.

Surely the best views for miles!?

Had a wonderful stay at this property recently with my partner and mother in law. The property has everything you need for a comfortable stay and is clean and tidy and the views are AMAZING! The kitchen is well equipped and the bedrooms are comfortable and clean. We have a couple of minor suggestions for improvement but nothing that would stop us returning; - A small light at the property entrance would be most helpful; it's really hard to navigate the couple of small steps and find the lock in the dark! - The entrance hall is a little messy and unwelcoming Otherwise, we can't complain and will definitely be returning :)

Fantastic location

Well equipped, warm and spotless with fabulous views across Loch Katrine from an eyrie of an apartment. Stairs are a bit of a challenge with heavy luggage. Ideal if you are looking for a peaceful stay in beautiful surrounding. Jetty adjacent makes it great for swimming and sup.

Amazing spot to rest and relax

We had the most wonderful three nights in this lovely place with stunning views of Loch Katherine. Apartment, on two levels, is beautiful, comfortable and very well equipped for families to spend their holidays - whether it's sunny or rainy. Location is just amazing, on the bank of a beautiful loch. You can admire sunrises and sunsets from the apartment without the bother from midgies. It takes 35 minutes on a narrow road from Aberfoyle to get here, so get stocked up at a shop. There are other visitors staying in the village (which is more like a croft) but everyone is relaxed and friendly. We used the kitchen to cook two dinners and all breakfasts and it was as if we were at home. Fully equipped kitchen and lovely table for six to enjoy the meals. The sitting area on the other side (with beautiful loch view) has ample space for sitting and/or watching TV or video. We used the DVD collection and found some fun films to enjoy. There are also plenty of books to read or board games to play so you won't get bored on a rainy day. One disappointment, not connected with the owners whatsoever, was that the local peer cafe was closed (despite info online that it opens on Fri and Sat night). We did look forward to going out there. In the end we found that it opened on Sunday, after we've made other plans. So do not count on it but if you're lucky you might get a nice experience. One very important note - there are three flights of stairs leading to this apartment. It is NOT for people who find climbing stairs difficult ! To end - it was perfect and I hope we can return there one day.

Scenic, tranquil and comfortable escape

Clean, spacious and well equipped property. Amazing views over Loch Katrine. Lovely rural location within a number of properties, most of which are holiday lets. It is definitely a single track road (with passing places) from Aberfoyle to Stronachlacher and not the easiest of drives so make sure you get some groceries on route as you're unlikely to want to go back and forth a lot. This makes the area peaceful and definitely "away from it all" so worth the trip. Two minute walk to "The Pier" Cafe providing an excellent range of cakes and beverages and a lovely evening meal (only available Friday and Saturday evenings and needs pre-booked). The property (and cafe) had appropriate covid restrictions in place and were clearly safety conscious. Two flights of stairs up to the apartment means its not suitable for those with mobility issues but for us this only added to the views. No private garden/outdoor seating....but to be honest the whole of Loch Katrine can be your garden! Lots of storage, warm cosy duvets, plenty of pillows, warm central heating and showers and plenty of seating for 6. Kitchen was really well equipped if you wanted to cook. There was satellite Wi-Fi in the property that was fast enough for checking emails and social media and even managed to access you-tube on occasion for our teens. Hosts were friendly, responsive and informative.

Schöne Wohnung direkt am Loch Katrine

Wir haben viele Ausflüge in die Umgebung gemacht. Die Straße nach Stronachlachar ist allerdings abenteuerlich und man kann keinesfalls 60mph fahren! Viele gut befestigte Wege zum Spazierengehen und Radeln in der Umgebung. Auch die Schifffahrt nach Trossachs ist sehr schön. Die Wohnung, übrigens im 3. Stockwerk gelegen, ist gut ausgestattet für Selbstversorger. Einkaufen muss man allerdings schon in Aberfoyle, was die Vermieter auch schon geschrieben hatten.

Wir haben die Zeit sehr genossen. Abseits vom Trubel konnten wir uns erholen und mit dem Rad und zu Fuß die Umgebung erkunden. Besonders die Bootsfahrt mit dem historischen Dampfer und den Rückweg mit dem Fahrrad hat uns begeistert. Die Wohnung hat uns sehr gefallen. Es war alles vorhanden was gebraucht wurde. Vielen Dank für die schöne Zeit, die wir bei euch sein durften.

What a marvellous location with a stunning view!

Perfect for a time-out in nature. However, if you might feel lonely you might visit the tiny and recommendable Pier Café in direct neighbourhood. The appartment has everything you might need (WiFi, kitchenware, basic food equipment), check-in by the host with plenty of useful advice happened by email and without any problems. Highly recommended accommodation we would ever choose again.
