2 farmhouses, one bracing escape - Scotland’s treasures are easily discovered from these light-filled eco homes in Loch Lomond National Park

Read guest comments

Swathed by hills and braes, the farm sits between Loch Lomond and the rolling contours of the Campsie Fells. Deborah and Steve are next door and restored the Old Dairy and Curlew Cottage to high eco standards, with slate and wood floors and local red sandstone. Solar panels and underfloor heating keep things cosy all year while rooms zing with natural light; all is crisp and clean. From tots to grandparents, you are welcome here; book the houses together or separately (both have downstairs bedrooms). Indoors you have total privacy but a low patio wall allows for convivial barbecues; in Curlew, there's seating and crockery for 12. A generous host, Deborah provides home-baked bread, marmalade and their own eggs; she can also arrange for meat from local butchers and at-home beauty treatments! On chilly days throw a log on the burner and curl up with a book or a film. Or head out; a small hill (The Dumpling) makes an ideal nursery slope for little climbers, with a dazzling view. The loch has a Sealife Centre, canoe and cycle hire and cafés, and Stirling and Glasgow are not too far – for heritage and shopping.

"What another fabulous "Sawday's" find. We stayed in Curlew Cottage to celebrate a 70th birthday. Everything was perfect, a beautiful cottage with outstanding views and quality furnishings throughout. The little touches and special treats provided by Deborah only added to the overall experience which was first class. We can't wait to return."

"A beautiful cottage in a peaceful but convenient location. The cottage is very well appointed and equipped - there were two of us, and we enjoyed having the space to ourselves - the open-plan sitting/dining area/kitchen is light and airy, with a view out to hills. Beds comfortable and the upstairs bedroom has very effective black-out blinds, essential when it gets light about 4am! There are resident, friendly hens, for eggs and 'chat', local sheep and cows. Deborah and Steve very friendly and helpful. Set just south of Loch Lomond with local good walks plus all amenities. Highly recommend. "

"Warmly recommend East Cambusmoon and Curlew Cottage. Beautifully appointed, comfortable beds and good showers. Easy for our wheelchair user and Deborah`s home made bread and marmalade, fresh eggs and butter was a delightful surprise. Good area with easy walks to the shore of Loch Lomond and many scenic drives. Will look forward to returning."

"We had a wonderful stay in the Old Dairy. The cottage was beautifully equipped and our hosts friendly and thoughtful. The view from the top of the hill (a mere 10 minute walk) is breathtaking. The weather was extremely good, but judging by the large woodburning stove and level of insulation, this place would also be a delight in winter."

"We stayed in The Old Dairy, it was idyllic; so modern and yet so peaceful. Perfect location for exploring, we enjoyed cycle rides from the cottage as well as walks up the local hills. The accommodation was incredibly tastefully finished and was a real sanctuary. We also enjoyed day trips to Glasgow and Edinburgh during our week's holiday - really accessible as well as being wonderfully rural."
