Jubilee Weekend. Great venue, have used this property yearly. Ideal for our boating needs.

We, as a group of 8, have been here every year for some time. We make good use of the water so the moorings are important. The property generally is good and reasonably comfortable whilst now getting a little "secondhand" in some ways. Saying that, it did improve this year with new carpets in the lounge area. All the facilities work and having three bathrooms is great. The decking has views of the loch which are just brilliant. We will be back next year!

As a family of 7 and 2 dogs, we have just returned from a fantastic weekend at the Boathouse. The location of the Boathouse was excellent, on the shore at Loch Earn and with a slipway to enjoy direct access to the water. Our kayak and paddleboard were well used, and there was even a drying area for wetsuits! Fantastic large house for a large family or group, lots of open space, large bedrooms, and a great decking area and safe enclosed garden. Fantastic views from the decking and master bedroom. Kitchen was well equipped and served us well during our stay. Cannot fault the house, location or service received. We managed to leave some small items behind and these were returned to us at no cost, and our security deposit has been promptly refunded. Some of our family said this was the best holiday ever! Whilst some of the house (carpets etc) was dated, this added to the character of the place and the enjoyment of our stay. Would highly recommend the Boathouse. Many thanks

Just returned from a weekend at the Boathouse and we couldn’t fault it. The scenery is absolutely stunning.
Good layout to eat and socialise in the evening inside the lodge, plenty of parking, right on the loch and nice clean bedrooms.
Enjoyed it so much we looked at booking again for summer, but unsurprisingly it’s obviously very popular!

I was in Lochearnhead 2 years ago, walked past the Boathouse and knew I had to book it. The setting is spectacular and the views are amazing. The accommodation itself is tired and would be a real squeeze for 8. The kitchen is poorly equipped and badly designed. We had a power failure due to water from the draining board dripping into the electrics. To be fair, when reported it was promptly sorted. Weather was not great but there was no way of putting on the central heating during the day if we got back before 6pm. Bizarrely it is remotely controlled by the owner and cannot be over ridden. Having looked forward so much to this postponed, post-lockdown holiday it was disappointing not to have any “welcome pack” or maps and information about the area, or the house itself. There were lots of rules about what not to do, and CCTV outside the property which felt intrusive.
However the location can’t be beaten and we will have lasting memories of the views and swimming in the loch. For water based activities from the doorstep this is ideal



Perfect for a weekend of water sports.

The boat house is an excellent venue for a weekend away. We had our boat with us and the situation couldn't have been more perfect. The fact that you can relax on the decking and watch the rest of your party doing water sports right next to you is a huge selling factor.

Beds where comfy, there was plenty of space, large sitting room and kitchen, amazing water pressure and panoramic views of Loch Earn.

I will certainly be booking this accommodation again in the future.

We've been coming to Lochearnhead for many year, winter and summer, this is our 2nd stay in the Boathouse. Weather was kinder this year we had the bifold doors open most of the time. Facilities very good, views over the loch excellent. My only fault is the bed in the master bedroom is double not king-size and the mattress is terrible. We took our own memory foam mattress topper this time as I suffer with bad back, this made it marginally better. This is the only downside to the place for the money charged surely spending some of it upgrading the bed to a decent good quality would make the stay perfect in every way

7 friends and I had a lovely reunion weekend at the Boathouse. The property is extremely unique with lots of character, as well as lots of room and a great space for entertaining.

It's in an amazing location on the Loch and is 15 mins drive to the foot of Ben Vorlich, which a few of us climbed one of the days (not easy!). There are two pubs / restaurants within a few mins walk too which were both good.

Short break, only wish we had booked for longer.
The home is lovely and spacious for a large family and is equipped with everything you could possibly need.
The enclosed decked area a bonus, great for a morning cup of coffee or alfresco dining watching the amazing scenery chance through out the day.
The location is just beautiful
Looking forward to returning

We had a lovely time in Lochearnhead. The house couldn’t really be in a better location, and with the exception of food and drink, everything we needed was provided (towels, dishwasher tablets, etc.). The master bedroom is straight out of a James Bond movie! Amazing place!

Fantastic location on the shore of Loch Earn.

The house provides accommodation for up to eight people, but there are five in our family, so we have plenty of room.

We had a problem with the TV sound, but this was quickly resolved by Matthew from Cooper Cottages.

The internal cleanliness has improved since our stay last year, but the outside of the house could do with a good clean to get rid of the multitude of cob webs!

Our only complaint would be the unexpected arrival of trades people, which could have been a problem had our two dogs been free!




Matthew replied more than 1 year ago
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We do clean the property after each guest and the outside is cleaned regularly. I am sorry to hear about the disturbance by tradespeople and we will try to ensure this does not happen in future.

Spent a week in the Boathouse with friends, and it was perfect. We cooked in the kitchen nearly every night, and found it clean and well stocked with pots/pans/etc. Bedlinens were very comfortable, and with three bathrooms, there was room for everyone. We loved eating on the deck and lounging on the comfy couch. Highly recommend the Glen Ogle trail leaving directly from Lochearnhead, and the Water Sports Center at the other end of the Loch.

The Boathouse is a wonderful property in a glorious location. The accommodation is spacious, very comfortable and even if the rain had lashed down all week (which it didn't!) we would have enjoyed our stay. The proximity of the loch even tempted in a couple of our children....in October!

This was our second stay in the Boathouse in Lochearnhead, it's the most beautiful location and ideal for our boating activities. The accommodation is excellent, evenings spent relaxing on the decking just a few metres from the loch are memorable, we look forward to many more in the years to come.

We've already booked again for 10 nights in 2018...counting the days.

Thanks once again Cooper Cottages.

This is our 4th time at the Boathouse and it does not disappoint, the location and views are spectacular with plenty of outside space. There's loads of parking for boat trailers and vehicles, and two moorings which add to the ease of the holiday.
The accommodation is comfortable with a fully fitted kitchen and plenty of space. Will return again next year. Thanks

A superb location in any weather! The views were so amazing from the huge windows in the cottage, we were reluctant to leave to visit the surrounding area. Beds were super comfy, and all rooms spotlessly clean. Having a hotel that served delicious food 100 yards away was the icing on the cake, cannot wait to return.

Another stay at the Boathouse, excellent location and stunning views. The new jetty an improvement for access to the water.
Very comfortable and plenty of space for the boats and trailers, will return again.
Wifi is temperamental and doesn't connect to some devices, the property need more large glasses and there is too many dog hairs, but this will not stop us returning next year.
Overall very good and a fantastic holiday.

Thank you for leaving the review. As discussed by email you say you are anti dog so even one hair would have been a problem. This is a dog friendly property, we do our best to remove all dog hair after a stay. The previous guest saw nothing so it was unfortunate that you did find some hair. We have never had anyone say the WiFi is temperamental so will look into the problems you encountered during your stay. There are a good number of glasses at the property but we will ensure there are more pint glasses for your next stay.

Great trip! Highly recommended!

Beautiful house in a beautiful location. Well maintained and perfect for purpose. Would highly recommend the boathouse.

Only criticism, people came round to cut the grass, paint the fence and put weed killer down during our stay-feel this could have been done during the 6 hour change over time when the house was empty for cleaning.

We loved our stay at the boathouse, weave been twice now and plan to come again next year. Nothing can beat the location of this house and the house itself is always spotless.
Really love it here.

Thoughtful, modern and very comfortable facilities in all the main areas. Only drawback was it was draughty upstairs - but it was a howling Storm Force blizzard outside! The effective woodburning stove compensated for that and we had a wonderful memorable 60th birthday celebration for Rosie. Thank you.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week in this beautiful location. The views from ground and first floor windows over the loch are stunning - with it being October we just kept our curtains open so we could wake up in the morning (not too early) to that fabulous vista. The house is very spacious, as is the decking. We found it very cosy particularly as the sun was beating in those massive windows for most of our holiday! The kitchen is pretty well equipped, although we didn't find any ordinary baking trays, and I like my mugs bigger.
I would agree with others that the downstairs sofa is not particularly comfortable, but there is plenty of seating to choose from. The television reception (essential for the rugby quarter final matches!) and Wi-Fi are excellent. The dishes could have been cleaner, which was maybe due to sloppy last minute dishwashing of guests, but we raised the issue on our return home and they were going to check the dishwasher to make sure it wasn't needing attention.
The £300 deposit may have seemed a little steep, but was returned the day we vacated the property.
The flexibility to book a holiday which didn't have to start and finish on a Saturday was much appreciated, and one of the reasons we chose this property.
We would certainly come back and holiday here in the future.

The Boathouse was a wonderful base for our holiday. It's location cannot be beaten, and it provided a comfortable and scenic family retreat. We hardly needed to leave as we spent all of our time on the water!

This is our second visit to the Boat House and we absolutely love it. We will definitely book again. It is large enough for the whole family including the extended part. The decking at the front provides a secure area for our 18 month grandson to run about and play on. The kitchen is well appointed and big enough for all the budding cooks to spoil the broth in. The dish washer however requires a degree in Astro physics to operate. Got there in the end though. The views from the upper bedroom and the living room are second to none.
The only criticism we have is that when we arrived the upper bedroom was covered in dog hair. Not a huge problem to us as we have a dog as well but could have been more thoroughly hoovered. The sofa is a bit uncomfortable, my father found it virtually impossible to sit on it.
However these minor moans aside our visit to the Boat House is the highlight of our year. I should also mention that Coopers Cottages have to be the nicest letting agents we have ever dealt with. We get the feeling that nothing would be a problem for them.

I can highly recommend this property with its stunning views over the loch.

The kids enjoyed feeding the ducks by the rocks each morning while the adults relaxed with a coffee and admired the view.

We were very lucky with the weather and enjoyed some beautiful walks in the area, flying our kites and some great cycles.

The little shop at the end of the road is handy for day to day things and its not to far a drive in to Callander for a larger shop.

The boathouse itself is very spacious and has extremely comfy beds and by far the best location on the loch. My only small niggle would be with the kitchen which could have been better stocked, especially if you want to bake.

All the other bedrooms were beautiful. Only one negative comment, some of the mugs need replacing due to chips. If that's my only negative comment your doing everything right, thanks for the lovely break away x

Just returned with my family from a week’s stay over the New Year period…we always go away at New Year however this years’ time spent at the Boathouse has been the best by far for a number of years…if you are looking for somewhere to go and relax in comfort and warmth with spectacular views then I thoroughly recommend you give the Boathouse consideration….it definitely takes some beating….

I dealt with Christine (from Cooper Cottages) from my time of booking the accommodation right through until departure…can I just say that the support and service I received from her was excellent and very professional.

Christmas at The Boathouse - a wonderful time!

Speaking from our personal experience as we had a perfect time spent during our 2014 Christmas break at this idillic & capacious lock side property.

With a perfect view of the Scottish scenery and the snow covered hill tops from the relaxation of the main lounge or master bedroom you can't go wrong.. We were even more lucky during our stay scenery combined with sunshine & blue sky made our Christmas Day even more memorable.....

Despite the overnight temperatures dropping to sub-zero externally overnight; we could not be feel a thing inside the property (this was due to the combination of the property's central heating, combined with the option of lighting the property's log burner).

With a large kitchen and dining table the preparation and setting of Christmas dinner was easy to prepare. The property even had a Christmas tree (a slight shame it was not a real one)...for those who don't want to cook then the nearest Christmas day meal we could find was available at the Four Seasons Hotel.

However, to enjoy some festive spirit then leaving the car parked on the drive and settling in for a home cooked meal made much more sense to ourselves... As a microwave, oven and cooking utensils provided helped ensure our meal was prepared and cooked to perfection...

One should be aware that the nearby hotel(s) within walking distance were found to be closed (which we had thought may have been open). So those mentioned by people who stayed in the property during the summertime did not appear to be opens during this winter period (so we would suggest checking on-line first)...

During our short stay we visited Crieff which is a market town in Perth and Kinross, Perth itself and Stirling. Each of which were found to be in festive spirit... & we found everyone to be really friendly and accommodating. Also In Perth we visited Browns & Blacks for a meal which was first class an the table setting festive...

Signing off we can say that we would stay here again in a heartbeat....!

Everyone had a fantastic stay at the Boathouse. The house was warm, comfortable very well equipped for our needs with the fabulous views which we all enjoyed. The one suggestion we would make , for those of us who have football mad partners, is that you sign up for BT sports, as you have BT Broadband this would be free, and may be beneficial for some of your future guests.
Thank you for a wonderful weekend

Great location, the loch is a favourite place to do our water skiing.
We were pleasantly surprised that the house was much cleaner than in previous years.
One of the things that lets the house down is the sofa, it is so uncomfortable and the house would benefit from it being replaced.
Overall though a super place and good value for money.

the boathouse is in a perfect location - apparently it was once a restaurant so it would be nice to see photos of this decorating the walls.

the kitchen has ample plates glasses cutlery pots and pans to self cater and well stocked shops not far away in Killen and Callender but there are also restaurants in these towns too so did a mix of self catering and dinning out . Didn't eat in Clachan hotel/pub behind the boathouse as wasn't impressed with choice or price but the bar has been refurbished and staff were very welcoming on an evening.

we used the boathouse as a base for out waterskiing holiday and moored the boat on the lake outside everynight - there's ample covered drying space outside for wetsuits etc and have already rebooked for next yr

Fantastic views from both upstairs and downstairs - a beautiful Loch.
A homely house, warm and very comfortable.
If the weather had been a little warmer we could have sat on the decking all week.
No midges in May!

Generally a very well equipped house although not really suitable for 8 people. We were a family of four adults and 2 children, Our daughter and husband slept for one night in the double bed in the loft room but the bed was so uncomfortable we persuaded the children to sleep there and the adults were forced to use the twin beds on the lower floor! No wardrobe or clothes hanging space just drawers in this room either which was a little disappointing.

The location is lovely, the house clean and the kitchen had excellent cooker, fridge and cooking utensils. Beautiful views, quiet location ( didn't notice the traffic at all!) we all enjoyed our stay thank you!

Dear Gill this is the first time we have had anyone say the beds were uncomfortable, some like hard mattresses some like soft. So glad you found a bed to suit you. The owner is committed to keeping things tip top for guests so appreciates your review. This year the Boathouse has an extensive programme of improvements planned, included in this there is to be a clothes rail fitted on the 3rd floor and lamps fitted either side of the bed on the same floor. So glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you return another time.

Amazing !

My family and I stayed at the boathouse for 5days in early April and although the weather was typically Scottish the Boathouse more than made up. The views were amazing especially from the bedroom which totally takes your breath away the first time (and every time) you walk into both the bedroom and the living room. The place is very spacious and easily accommodated us (6 people). Great location short walking distance to the pub and easy ride to shops. Nice touches of leaving milk,tea and coffee etc and Christine very helpful. Would highly recommend and visit again only wish I had a boat !!

The Boat House was a fantastic propert it stay in , great location , scenery was stunning and beautiful inside! However we couldn't get the sound system to work or the dishwasher so I think there should maybe be some instructions for these!! Also the pots and pans we were using for dinner hadn't been properly clean from the last time. But apart from it was a great weekend!! Would be great in the
Summer and I think we will definitely be returning again!! Loved it !

Hi Lauren sorry you found pots that were not clean. We strive to maintain a high standard and appreciate your comments. There should be instructions in the drawer next to the dishwasher. We will check this out and the surround sound too.

We stayed in September and we're very pleasantly surprised by the boathouse. Pub over the road has good food/beers the loch is glorious and there are lots of day trips from here. We walked one day and wetto te animal park another. Good shop nearby catered for most of our needs. Enjoy!
