There is a spacious family bathroom with bath and downstairs a cosy lounge with dining area and kitchen. St. Ola is dog friendly with a large enclosed garden to the rear and many walks on your doorstep. The village has a shop, post office and three eating/drinking places.

Drainage Issues in Property causing internal sewer smell

The cottage is in a nice location with a good pub nearby. It was well presented and welcoming.
However throughout our stay we had the smell of an exposed sewer in both the upstairs bathroom and downstairs toilet, making both areas places where you did not want to linger (ie quick showers only and no bath). We had to leave doors closed and windows open to prevent the rest of the cottage from smelling.
Measures were made to resolve the issue during our stay but not successfully - there appears to be a fundamental issue with the plumbing/drainage in the property.
Both Coppers Cottages and the Owner could not resolve the issue in a timely way or provide other suitable accommodation.
Overall this greatly spoilt our weeks stay and hence can not recommend the cottage.

Very nicely decorated, house had a great personality. Unfortunately a bit noisy towards the street, since the front door doesn't stay tight. otherwise nothing was really missing.

Clean and well presented cottage. Bedrooms very comfortable, fantastic bathroom that doubles as a drying room.
Pub 3 doors down, shop just over the road and forrest walks from the back gate.
Close to some good mountain walks but still within nine hours of the south coast.

Excellent condition, comfortable, clean with lovely walks from the garden behind up the hill - ideal with two labradors
Liked the underfloor heating and large and spacious bathroom

As the title says we had 4 nights at St Ola and we’re delighted with the accommodation and location. Communication and instruction in advance of our stay were clear and helpful. The house is very well presented and the small kitchen is well appointed, we also enjoyed sitting in the garden at the back. There is plenty to do in the area including a cycle to Callander on route 7 which is safe and off the road the whole way. Hill walking up nearby Ben Vorlich was fun and provided great views. We even managed a game of basketball in Strathyre community facility. All in all an excellent break and highly recommend St Ola

Lovely cottage with nice decor and a great garden from which you can walk out directly into the forest. Compact kitchen but it has everything you need, comfy bedrooms. Plenty of space for our party of 6, and it was great to find stair gates to keep the little ones safe!

Great cottage in a superb location. Cooper Cottages are great hosts and I can highly recommend them, we will certainly be using them again when we return to Scotland. 5 Stars.

We enjoyed our stay in St Ola in Strathyre. The House has been well finished and the bedrooms and bathroom were particularly comfortable. It was nice to have a lovely big tv in the living room.

Callander is just a short drive away for shopping and the village shop across the road has essentials.

We spent a weekend at St Ola’s which is a lovely house, furnished to a very high standard with lovely touches.
The garden is beautiful with a gate leading to forest walks.
I would highly recommend St Ola’s and Cooper Cottages.

A beautiful property for staying in a beautiful area.

St. Ola is the most beautiful, welcoming and cosy home, the property has everything you need for your stay albeit a few days or longer.
The property is modern, well equipped and super clean, the open fire a bonus for the cold and snowy conditions outside, although not needed as the heating system is very efficient and and warmed the whole property in an instant.
My only constructive comment would be to add a couple of grab rails in the fantastic shower, some guests may need a little extra help to keep them on their feet.

Loved St Ola from the moment we arrived. Inside the decor and condition of the property is really impressive. Everything on hand to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The location, so close to hill walks and cycle paths, was perfect. Ideal base for trips further afield (Callander and Stirling). Could be as busy or as tranquil in equal measure.

We had a very wonderful and comfortable stay at St Ola cottage. It is a lovely cottage with the standard of everything excellent and is well equipped with everything we needed. My children also really loved the stay and were fully happy and content playing board games and reading story.
A fantastic cottage in a fantastic location.
Thank you for making our stay wonderful and relaxing.
