Fantastic Highlands Escape
We stayed at Bal-Na-Coille for five nights in August. The property has been decorated to a high modern standard with all rooms having on suite shower rooms. There is a separate bathroom too. The kitchen well designed and was well stocked with everything you would need in a self catering holiday and there is a BBQ available for use. The weather was against us most days but it was great to come back to the property after a day battling the elements thanks to how welcoming and cosy the house is. I would highly recommend this property and I'd like to thank the owner Mick for all his help and attentiveness throughout our stay.

The house is very homely with everything you could possibly need for a relaxing stay. It was spotlessly clean and very well equipped. Quiet neighbourhood with lots of home comforts . For our 3 night stay there are enough restaurants close by to eat in a different place each night. The location of the house is central to explore east and west coast in hour to hour and half driving. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property. Contact with owner was fast and easy.

Fantastic home from home
We had a fabulous week at Bal-na-coille! The property was immaculate, well-equipped and very spacious and comfortable. The living area is open plan with lots of space in each of the kitchen, dining and seating areas. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you would need and more. We’re only sorry that the weather wasn’t good enough for a barbecue. Before we arrived, Mike (the host) kept us fully informed sending us a welcome pack and giving us recommendations for dog-friendly places to eat in Killin. We can highly recommend The Courie Inn and the Falls of Dochart Inn was also very good. A really thoughtful touch was a box of Quality Street and a bottle of wine waiting for us when we arrived. There’s lots to see in and around Killin and the autumn colours were stunning. The Falls are spectacular and we hunted out the Stone Circle, the Dochart Viaduct and Finlarig Castle without having to leave the town. We also enjoyed short trips to Aberfeldy, Pitlochry and Callander. We’ve every intention of coming back to Killin during another season to be able to appreciate the stunning scenery. Thank you to Mike and family for letting us share your lovely home.

Great stay!
From first booking to leaving the property we have nothing negative to say regarding our stay. House has everything you could need. Beautifully set out and the balcony to sit and drink our morning tea was fantastic! This is our annual family get together and it didn’t disappoint. Three great bedrooms with spacious en-suites. Set in a really beautiful village I wouldn’t hesitate to come back. Host although not onsite was available if we needed anything. I came away with great memories and a slight dose of house envy!!

Clean, Comfortable, Spacious
A very well equipped, clean and comfortable holiday home which from first impressions carried the "wow" factor. The views from both the front and back windows are excellent. A short walk to nearby restaurants and shops and the marvelous waterfalls. Our three cars sat in the driveway with room to spare. A very relaxing place to enjoy a family catch-up. Book it.

Perfect small town location
Perfect location within walking distance of the town. We enjoyed exploring Killin and the surrounding countryside. The house was very clean, well laid out and comfortable. Each bedroom having its own bathroom was a definite plus. This place was just what we wanted, a place to relax and a place to jump off from for longer excursions. Mike was a perfect host providing us with information and recommendations. I highly recommend this property and would love to someday stay again.

Outstanding property and location
Three adults and our dog have just enjoyed a wonderful holiday in Killin, our only complaint, a week was too short! The property is outstandingly clean and well appointed with exceptional attention to detail. We were blessed with bright sunshine all week, so were able to take full advantage of the balcony, a perfect spot for reading a book with a cup of coffee. Killin village centre is a short walk away and we enjoyed four very different walks straight from the village, including along the edge of part of the Loch and another up into the hills from where the views of the village and Loch were stunning. We also enjoyed a couple of longer trips, such as out to Forth William via Glencoe. There is a CoOp in the village stocking all essentials and there are plenty of excellent places to eat and drink on the doorstep. We would definitely recommend staying here and Mike was marvellous at responding to our enquiries quickly and efficiently. We would love to return sometime.
