Holiday Rental
ABOUT
Nestled in the hills west of historic Stirling, and less than an hours drive from Glasgow, Edinburgh and Perth, Garrique Cottage is an ideal base for exploring Scotland. Quiet and spacious, with spectacular views, it sleeps six or seven and is single storey, so is good for small children or the infirm.
​
Garrique Cottage is perfect for those wanting space, privacy and comfort combined with easy access to lots of activities. It enjoys panoramic mountain views and offers a variety of walks, bicycle rides and bird watching. A hard tennis court is available for visitors.
​
Kippen, with its two gastro pubs, two delicatessen/cafés, village shop and historic church is only four miles away by road or half an hour’s walk along ancient footpaths. Blair Drummond Safari Park and The Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park are close by. The City of Stirling, with its castle, shops and numerous supermarkets is a twenty minute drive, and the Wallace Monument, Doune Castle (Game of Thrones) and the Falkirk Wheel are all in easy reach. Glen Coe, Inverary, St Andrews, the Scottish Borders and Loch Ness can each be visited within a day. Golf courses at Aberfoyle, Balfron, Callander, Dunblane and Stirling all welcome visitors.
