Description

Altquhur Cottage is situated in a beautiful location with stunning views over the Campsie Fells. We are 10 minutes by car to the Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond and a 30 minute drive to Glasgow and Stirling.

The cottage has a spacious dining kitchen, a cosy living room with wood burning stove, a double bedroom, bathroom and utility room. A comfortable sofa bed in the living room means we can easily accommodate 4 guests. We welcome children and can provide a cot with bedding and a high chair on request. Please let us know if you plan to bring your pet, we charge £20 per pet per stay and allow a maximum of 2 pets.

Please note our actual location in photos as Trip Advisor can't seem to find us!

Interaction with guest

We live in the farmhouse across the courtyard from the cottage, however our entrances are on different sides of the yard so the cottage is very private. We will be there to meet you and show you around the cottage and are available if you need anything during your stay.

Response from the owner Hi Alex, thank you so much for your feedback. I’ve changed the pillows on the bed now as you are right, they were a little lumpy! I’m so sorry for the problem with the bathroom heater. If you had let me know at the time I could have showed you how to switch it off. Best wishes, Carolyn
