Brenachoile Cottage is located in the heart of the Trossachs National Park, the birthplace of Scottish tourism. The property sits close to the shores of Loch Katrine and on a private road which runs the full length of the loch, some 14 miles. Pin numbers are required to enter. We are also dog-friendly. Here you will find peace and tranquillity set in the ancient forest, with the sky filled with bright stars at night. The property dates back to the 1890s and was occupied by the local gamekeeper. In 2020 the property benefited from a renovation which was completed in 2024. The property can be fully let sleeping 10 or split into two offering 3 bedrooms in The Keep or two bedrooms in The Snug—each benefits from having its own living rooms, kitchens and bathrooms. If you choose to rent the entire house, this would make a great venue for friends and family gatherings. Brenachoile Cottage has plenty of parking and grounds for relaxing in.

Loch Katrine is famous for its history, scenic beauty, and inspiration for literary works. Loch Katrine inspired the famous 19th-century poem The Lady of the Lake by Sir Walter Scott. Scott's vivid descriptions of the loch's landscapes drew many visitors to the area, which is why Loch Katrine is considered the birthplace of Scottish tourism. The Loch was the birthplace of Rob Roy MacGregor, a famous folkloric hero and outlaw. It is also the main water supply for Glasgow for the past 150 years. In 1859, Queen Victoria travelled the length of Loch Katrine on the steamer to open the waterworks. Visitors can still take a similar trip on the historic steamship, Sir Walter Scott. Loch Katrine is set in the Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park and is surrounded by dramatic landscapes. The Art & Literature Trail along the loch's north shore highlights historic points of interest. Some famous movies were filmed here including, Outlander and The 39 Stepps. Today you can hire an electric bicycle or walk The North Shore Road and take in the many beautiful signs or wealth of wildlife. Unlike many other Lochs in Scotland, you will find no power boats or jetskis on these waters, many a day you will have the loch to yourself, especially after 4pm. Why not try some freshwater swimming?
