The Lookout is a charming self-contained property situated in Stronachlachar, Stirlingshire, on the edge of the picturesque Loch Katrine, within the scenic Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park in Scotland. This two-level accommodation is ideal for nature enthusiasts and offers a peaceful retreat, boasting stunning views of the loch from both sides. The property occupies the top two floors of the historic Lochside House, which was originally built in 1900 and has been modernized to provide contemporary comforts while retaining its classic charm.
This inviting apartment features three bedrooms, including two twin rooms and a double ensuite. However, from October 10, 2022, it will only be available with two bedrooms. The top floor is dedicated to a spacious kitchen and living room that presents breathtaking vistas of Loch Katrine, allowing guests to enjoy the beauty of the changing skies from sunrise to sunset. The tranquil surroundings, coupled with the proximity to Stronachlachar Pier, create an idyllic setting for relaxation and exploration.
Outdoor activities abound in the local area, with numerous walking trails available for guests to immerse themselves in nature. The renowned West Highland Way is only 4.5 miles away, leading through the enchanting Inversnaid with its stunning waterfalls. Adventurous visitors can also explore nearby hills such as Ben A'an and Ben Venue, as well as a variety of forest walks. The region is dotted with beautiful lochs, each offering its unique character and enchanting backdrops, making it a perfect destination for outdoor lovers.
The Lookout can be reserved independently or in conjunction with the larger Lochside House, which accommodates up to 10 guests and features an internal interconnecting door that remains locked when the properties are booked separately. Lochside House offers high ceilings, a cozy atmosphere with central heating and a wood-burning stove, and a well-equipped kitchen, making it an excellent choice for family gatherings, yoga retreats, or simply escaping the hustle and bustle of daily life. The location is not only rural and waterfront but also provides access to activities such as the Great Trossachs Path and Aberfoyle Golf Club, as well as opportunities to experience the area's natural beauty, including Ben Lomond and Loch Ard Forest.
