The River Lochay is the star of the show here – step outside and you're soaking in a private hot tub with the river rushing past, or dining alfresco on the terrace as the water rolls by below. Inside, floor-to-ceiling windows frame the river from the sitting room, and underfloor heating keeps things warm when the Scottish air bites. Set on the riverbank just outside Killin, it's a genuinely peaceful base for exploring the southern Highlands – with the kind of outlook that makes you forget about plans entirely.
Home truths: * This home sits outside Killin village, with shops, cafes, and the local golf course within walking distance, but we recommend hiring a car to explore further afield. Parking is available for up to three cars.
* If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a high chair. It's worth confirming in advance whether additional items such as a cot are also available.
* This home is right on the riverbank, so expect the sound of the water to be a constant presence indoors and out – atmospheric for most, but worth bearing in mind if you're a light sleeper.
