A well-designed kitchen with contemporary units offers everything you'll need for a break away from home, including a washing machine, so you won't have to worry about bringing your whole wardrobe. Tuck into a home-cooked meal at the dining table or venture outside and savour a barbecue against the spectacular backdrop. Enjoy some rest in one of the two bedrooms, before waking up to a good coffee and a luxurious shower; choose from the elegant double room or a triple bunk with a double and a single, providing enough space for five guests. The village of Balquidder is set at the northern tip of the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park and is full of history, attracting those interested in the famous outlaw Rob Roy MacGregor, who came to see his final resting place there. For those feeling active, there is plenty to choose from; Inglis Nook Cottage is the perfect base for walking, cycling, wild swimming, canoeing, paddle boarding, golf, and fishing. You can hire a variety of equipment or book lessons through Roll Outdoors. If you fancy a night off cooking, treat the group to a dining experience at the Monachyle Mhor Hotel, which has pride of place in The Good Food Guide and attracts guests far and wide, or enjoy some excellent gastro style pub food at Mhor 84. Hop in the car and head North to Glencoe and Fort William, for fantastic scenery and skiing in the winter, or take a wonderful day trip to Oban or Loch Lomond; whichever you decide, you will be blown away by this part of the world. Set in a simply breath-taking highland location, a holiday at Inglis Nook Cottage is sure to be well remembered.
The Braes of Balquhidder are accessible from the A84 by a single-track road. It is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is located at the northernmost point of Loch Lomond and Trossachs Country Park. West of the town, 4 miles down the glen to Monachyle Mhor, is the magnificent Loch Voil. Rich in mythology and history, the Celts considered it to be a "thin realm" where there is little separation between the spiritual and physical worlds. The remains of the first Balquhidder kirk, which dates from 1631, contain the grave of Rob Roy MacGregor, a notorious 17th-century bandit who resided in and around the region. The headstone of St. Angus, an early Christian missionary who brought Christianity to the region in the 7th century, is located inside the current church, which was constructed in 1855.
