Family-friendly vacation rentals in Loch Shiel

Absolutely beautiful stay in Dalavich. The views from the dining room and hot tub were next level. George was extremely helpful with all recommendations and there is a helpful manual in the property on things to do around. Having a car is vital and make sure to do a shop before getting to the property but the village shop allowed us to pick up some bits we ran out of which was a bonus. Could not recommend more and will definitely be back!

Came here for a hen do, it was a great house for a big get together such as this! Beds are comfy, plenty of space and got to see lots of wildlife! Gail has great communication and instructions.

Came for a long weekend and from start to finish we couldn’t fault anything. The place was perfect and had everything we needed and could want. It was so peaceful with beautiful views. The place is a credit to the hosts. Ross and his wife were super friendly in responses and when they passed, they even have a book full of recommendations around the place which was good! We will most definitely be back!!

I booked this property for my husband and his 3 friends for his 40th birthday. Wallace was extremely communicative at all times, and was very welcoming to the group on arrival. One of the guests arrived early and while Wallace explained the place would not be ready till check in, the guest was able to fish on the loch till later in the day, and thoroughly enjoyed himself! The property was as described, perfectly clean and the location was exactly what I was looking for when I booked. It was easy to find, and the walking guides and maps of the local area were very helpful too. Would book again!

Beautiful home in picturesque surroundings. We couldn’t have asked for more! When we had rainy weather we enjoyed the hot tub and fire. Thank you for hosting us!

We had an amazing week at Nether Glenny! The location is absolutely stunning, offering breathtaking views and endless opportunities for walking right from the cottage. Alison was extremely accommodating, making sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We especially loved relaxing in the hot tub after a day of exploring the beautiful local area. If you’re looking for a peaceful retreat with fantastic hospitality, this is the place to be. Highly recommended—we can’t wait to return!

A beautiful cottage in beautiful surroundings! From the moment we arrived, we had everything we needed and more. Ian was an excellent host, ensuring we had a wonderful few days. The homemade scones to welcome us were the icing on the cake!

wonderful cabin with exactly what we needed for our weekend getaway!

Emma is a wonderful helpful host. The flat was ideal for a break in Scotland and served as a good base for exploring. The property was clean and tidy upon arrival, the sofas are very comfy too. Ideally located in Callander, opposite a supermarket with lots of shops, coffee houses and places to eat and drink within walking distance.

Out familybof four spent 6 days at Anna and Al's place. It was clean, tidy and well supplied with everything we needed. Good wifi and decent sized TV as well. A minor issue with how the shower worked was promptly attended to, and in person, which was appreciated. The apartment is ideally located, close enough to walk to town from, yet far enough away to be nice and quiet. For us..perfect. One observation, on foot the gradient back to the apartment from town is steep if you take the sortest route, but hey. You are in the Highlands :-). I will book this apartment again when we come back to the Highlands, to explore some of the islands. Thanks to our hosts.

Amazing space to stay for our trip!! The photos only give a hint at the incredible setting and landscape. Perfect for our family stay and there was nothing that could have been improved. Thank you for making us feel welcome and providing such a great base for us to explore the Highlands. Hope to revisit in the future.

If you are looking for off-the-beaten-track luxury with incredible wildlife, views of beautiful Loch Etive and the surrounding mountains which are second to none - then this is the place for you! Our family of 7 had a wonderful stay here and we were sad to leave. We highly recommend this Air BnB and we would love to visit again. Note: we were thankful to find teabags and coffee - but bring your own milk. ;)

This place is a real gem with stunning views ! Our family really enjoyed staying here. It was very clean and well equipped! And there was clear and great instructions for everything.

Alistair and Helen are absolutely wonderful! The cottage is clean, cozy, and super comfortable. We absolutely loved our stay! Alistair gave us amazing recommendations, local knowledge and history, answered our questions, and was an overall incredible host. Thank you so much for such an amazing place to stay! :)

The cottage was lovely and spacious with a nice little log burner in the living room with plenty of fire wood provided. Tending to the chickens and collecting fresh eggs was a highlight. Jane is friendly and helpful and provided excellent local recommendations.

A stunning wee cottage in a beautiful, unspoiled, setting. Aeleen was a superb host, great communication in the build up to our visit and she came and met us twice to check in and share local knowledge to help us get the most from our visit. The cottage was warm, cosy and clean with a well stocked kitchen and 2 lovely bathrooms. Aeleen is a fantastic host and I would highly recommend this cottage.

For our family of five, there was plenty of room. We enjoyed our stay and the surrounding area. Easy to get to and great parking! Beautiful location and yes, we all felt as though we were in Hogwarts, especially since our apartment was in the old school. Highly recommend.

Perfect stay for a large group wishing to have both a taste of rural Scotland and the bright lights of the city! Great house for large groups with more than adequate cooking facilities. Excellent hot tub that was kept meticulously clean. The hosts were amazing and so helpful with helping me organise a stag weekend. Sharing local knowledge and recommendations of activities and hostelries, etc. Milngavie is a perfect location to explore both Glasgow city (20 minute train ride) and hit the start of the West Highland Way! Milngavie was a nice little town itself with an active high street and a good Tesco and station just a 3 minute walk from Pleasant Hill. We really enjoyed Fullbacks sports bar as well- good value food and an atmosphere. Activities we enjoyed from Pleasant Hill were a walk to Glengoyne Distillery, afternoon and night out in West End Glasgow and a speed boat pub tour of Loch Lomond! Thanks again Chris!

We enjoy this cottage so much that this is the 3rd time we have been. The perfect place to relax.

Really comfortable stay in a beautiful setting. Thank you

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, Douglas is an attentive host who was available when needed. The bungalow was equipped with everything we needed for cooking and resting which was much appreciated as our stay was over Christmas! Douglas very kindly gifted some wine and chocolates and he was there for our arrival to show us around the house, giving some useful information on nearby shops, places to eat and things to do. We were unfortunate with the weather; however, the bungalow was very cosy and thoughtfully decorated for Christmas and time spent inside looking out at the fabulous views made up for it!

A gorgeous place to stay, really enjoyed our visit and would definitely return in summer time! Should be made aware of the road to the cottage as it’s made for bigger cars on a dirt road. Our smaller cars scraped along, could damage underneath car and not great for your tyres but apart from that it was excellent. We were able to get a late check out which was appreciated as with late check-in and early check-out you only really get 1 full day if staying for the weekend. Lovely hosts and very spacious cottages😁would happily return!

Had an amazing time at the Abbey Castle. Would recommend to everyone looking to get away

A lovely, modern, well-designed environmentally sensitive building with three en-suite rooms opening on to a spacious living/kitchen area. Great views up towards Ben Nevis. Being about mid-way on the island exploring north and south on foot is easy. Wonderfully near the only shop and the community centre cafe and museum. Food at the cafe is punching above its weight for a small island with a great menu. Clare has an organic kitchen garden which can provide fresh veg if available plus eggs from the chickens.
