Our stay at Bruach was just magical. The location was fantastic, overlooking Loch Voil, with a magnificent enclosed garden and waterfall running behind the house.

The house was equipped with everything we could have possibly needed. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the whole property was so well thought out.

Leaving was difficult because we could have stayed forever!

This is our second stay at Bruach which is situated is a scenic, peaceful area in Scotland and not too far to travel from our parents home. Loads of opportunities for walking- gentle walks from the front door which my elderly father really appreciates as he can no longer hike the nearby munro mountains which are within an easy drive for the more active members of the family. Four of us travelled from Australia and Bruach is an ideal house to spend time together. There is plenty of space in the house - the highlight being the huge lounge with beautiful views. There are a couple of areas for improvement- we felt that the bedrooms might have needed more airing as there was a slight damp smell in them- perhaps since it was the start of the season and the house hasn’t been lived in much over the winter. There was also a problem with ants in the second bedroom- this was also an issue last year. There was bug spray in the house which eliminated this problem. There are beautiful trees all around, insects and midges should be expected especially during the summer season as is the case in many parts of Scotland at that time of year. When I asked my dad where he wanted to go this year for our family holiday he immediately said back to Balquhidder- that says it all!

We absolutely loved staying at Bruach. From the moment we arrived we felt at home and we were sorry to leave. The attention to detail is fantastic and ensured a very comfortable stay. A very homely property, beautifully furnished and with all the necessary equipment. We also loved the views and our dog enjoyed exploring the extensive secure garden.
There are lovely walks from the door and easy access to further days out in the area. We will certainly recommend to friends and hope to return ourselves.

A stunning cosy cottage that is brilliantly situated for exploring Scotland. We did day trips to Stirling, Pitlochry and Glencoe using this as a centre point. It’s thoughtfully decorated and well-equipped (we cooked a full Christmas dinner in the kitchen). There are walks from the gorgeous garden, past what feels like your private waterfall, and up into the forest for some scenic views of valleys and lochs. We simply did not want to leave.

Fantastic home, we've stayed in over 35 cottages all around scotland in the last 8 years, this has to be 1 of the best, from walking in to the kitchen into a spacious lounge more then big enough even with 2 German shepherd's. Beds are comfy kitchen very well equipped garden is great.

Bruach was just great for us. We were looking for somewhere quiet and in the middle of the quieter area of The Trossachs to explore. We are not hikers these days, and enjoyed a mix of short walks (Killin/Loch Tay, Loch Drunkie on Three Lochs Forest Drive, West Highland Way by Loch Lomond at Inversnaid, and at Rannoch Station which we accessed by glorious train ride from Upper Tyndrum) interesting heritage venues (Scone Palace, Menzies Castle, Inchmahome Priory) and glorious gardens (Castle Drummond, Branklyn in Perth).

Bruach is a lovely cottage in a beautiful location. Really well equipped and spotlessly clean. We had a great week exploring the area and were lucky enough to be there for the Killin Highland Games. Wonderful swims in Loch Voil too!

Only 1 hour from Glasgow through beautiful scenery making this an ideal location to get to on a Friday after work. Massive enclosed garden when you shut the gate making it perfect for parents and dog owners. Ideal for a large family or extended family to stay together but not be on top of one another. Loved the fireplace in the living room and the little read nook at the end of the hall with patio doors out to the back of the property. Kitchen and utility were really well equipped with fridge freezer, washing machine and dish washer. Really close to nice places to eat like Mhor 84 and we drove 15 minutes to the Falls of Dochart and ate at the smokehouse which was amazing. So much history in this area too, you won’t be at a loss for things to do or see. As the leaves fall off the trees and the views become unobstructed from the massive windows/patio doors in every room, this property is an ideal place for a cosy autumn/winter staycation that you won’t forget. We are already looking to go back with family.

What a gorgeous village and a stunning part of the world (and Scotland!). Felt so peaceful and undiscovered and one of the most beautiful parts of Scotland we've been to. Bruach is absolutely gorgeous - from the fully fitted kitchen for cooking amazing meals to the bedrooms with views, decking and very comfortable beds, we loved it all.
We all agreed - we want to live here permanently!

Bruach is located in an amazing place - a quiet and gorgeous village with what seems like a secret loch to yourself! The views from the house are fantastic, there's loads of room inside and outside for everyone and everything you need. Highly recommend a Scottish trip here!
