Welcome to our Luxury Pet Friendly Holiday Cottage in Scotland
Welcome to East Lodge, our luxurious loch side self catering holiday accommodation near Loch Lomond in central Scotland. This is truly a place to relax and to get away from it all. Just sit on the deck, or take the steps down to your own beach and observe the continuously changing colours on the Loch. The cottage sleeps 6 people and pets and dogs are very welcome. The cottage is in a wonderful location with its own beach, ideal for fishing, sailing and watersports and in a superb location for walking and cycling.
Spectacular sunsets will be your daily treat, enhanced by the flight of the ospreys, golden eagles and other spectacular wildlife. For the Twichers there is a rich variety of bird life, both woodland and aquatic and you’ll catch deer and owls in your headlights after dark, (so drive slowly). For those who like to stargaze there is no light pollution.
Our Cottage Location in the Loch Lomond National Park
Situated within the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park, your lochside cottage is in an area of outstanding beauty and enjoys fishing rights to the Loch, (seatrout, brown trout, rainbow trout and salmon, pike, etc). Cast a line from your own beach or just read a book, you will not be disturbed by anything.
Bring your bicycles, the tracks start at your front door and give you access to a vast network of on and off road cycle tracks. If you don’t have room to bring them you can hire them from just along the road.
If you like to watch sailing, the Loch Venachar Sailing Club is nearby and they sail on the Loch from time to time. The do offer courses for non-members. Please contact them for more details.
Fancy learning to do a bit more in the kitchen? Why not book yourself or loved one onto a course at the famous Nick Nairn Cook School.
If walking’s your thing, you have access from your front door to gentle walks along the Loch, or to more challenging hikes through the hills to neighbouring villages.
5 minutes by car takes you into the picturesque village of Callander where you will find a bustling High Street full of fantastic shops, cafes and restaurants. You can also go for a swim in the local pool, or for a fantastic fun day out take a drive round to the David Marshall Lodge and “Go Ape”. From Loch Katrine you can take the paddle steamer around the Loch or take a trip to Balquhidder to see Rob Roy’s grave followed by something to eat at the exquisite Monachyle Mhor. If you fancy yourself in a wetsuit doing a bit of 'Total Wipeout', "Go Country" is just a 15 minute or so drive away. There are some excellent golf courses with stunning views nearby and, of course, pony trekking.
