Perfect
The cottage was a perfect fit for our family. We had plenty of room for my wife, myself and our three daughters. The location was so perfect. We stayed for two weeks and never had to drive more than an hour to all our destinations. Laura had everything ready for us and is just up the road if we needed anything.

Better than excellent
This place is exceptional. Very clean, cute, roomy, comfortable. Nice little patio in front. She left milk, tea, coffee, and cookies. The location is very close to Stirling and a half hour from a park and ride to go into Edinburgh. Plus, there are stark hills in the back, Highland cattle in the front, lanes to walk on and beautiful views. One of our favorite rentals ever. We wish we would have stayed longer.

Perfect place for a group of friends! We came up for a wedding and had a wonderful stay! The place was extremely clean and cosy, comfy beds, blackout blinds and a fully equipped kitchen if you fancy cooking! The highland cows were a welcome bonus!! Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Laura Walker

Host profile image
My name is Laura and I stay on the family farm with my husband and kids. I run the cottages as well as helping out my husband with his hunting shop and looking after our brood of Labradors and Cocker Spaniels. Our daughter & son help out with everything too as being on a farm isn't just a job but a way of life. My Mum & Dad live on the farm too so there is plenty of us around should you require anything.

Why they chose this property

The farm is a working arable farm which we took over in 1983. We have a small herd of Highland cows which you will be able to see grazing in the fields in front of the cottage. The family has lived in the Hillfoots for four generations and I feel lucky that my children have had plenty fresh air and freedom growing up in the countryside.

What makes this property unique

Living at the bottom of the Ochil Hills is fantastic as you can walk out your door and head up the hill for a hike. The views from the top are amazing and on a clear day you can see for miles. We are also well located for taking a trip to Glasgow or Edinburgh which are around 45/50 minutes drive. However its nice to come home from the city to a relaxing and peaceful wee cottage.
