Balquhidder, Stirlingshire

4

Located in the picturesque village of Balquhidder, Stirlingshire, within the stunning Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park, Puidrac Cottage offers a serene retreat for up to four guests. This single-storey dwelling features an open-plan living area that encourages social interaction, complete with a woodburning stove, perfect for relaxing evenings. The cottage includes two bedrooms—a double and a bunk room—along with a main bathroom equipped with both a bath and shower, making it suitable for families and friends alike. Guests can also enjoy a private patio that leads to a small wooded forest, providing a tranquil outdoor space to appreciate the natural beauty surrounding the property.

The historical significance of Balquhidder adds to the charm of Puidrac Cottage. The grounds feature the Puidrac Stone, a Neolithic stone platform where warriors have tested their strength for centuries. This ancient site continues to attract "lifters" who come to challenge themselves against the 94KG boulder. The village itself is steeped in history, with connections to the MacGregor and MacLaren clans, and the grave of the notorious outlaw Rob Roy MacGregor located in a nearby church. Visitors can explore the church and learn about the area's rich past, which includes several prehistoric sites such as cup stones and the Puidrac Stone.

For outdoor enthusiasts, Balquhidder is a paradise for hiking and walking. The Rob Roy Way runs through the village, offering trails that lead to Kirkton Glen and Creag an Tuirc, where breathtaking views of the glen and its lochs await. Adventurers can also tackle the Munros of Ben More and Stob Binnein, located at the end of the glen. The nearby Loch Voil, an 8km freshwater loch, invites exploration via canoe, kayak, or paddleboard, with rentals available locally. Cycling is also a popular activity, with the number seven cycle route providing safe, predominantly off-road paths for mountain bikes, road bikes, and e-bikes.

Local amenities are easily accessible with a short drive to Strathyre, just 5 miles away, where visitors can find a Post Office, village store, and a cozy pub. For dining options, Mhor 84, located 2 miles up the glen, offers a delightful lunch spot, while Monachyle Mhor, 5 miles away, provides a fine dining experience. The nearby town of Callander boasts a variety of shops, cafes, and restaurants, ensuring that guests have everything they need for a comfortable stay. With its magical setting and numerous attractions, Puidrac Cottage serves as an ideal base to explore the breathtaking Stirlingshire countryside and enjoy a relaxed holiday experience.
