Thornlie

Families and groups of up to six will find Thornlie works well as a self-contained base. The house spreads across two floors: downstairs holds a living room with a wood burner, separate dining room, kitchen, utility room with washer and dryer, a study, and a cloakroom. Upstairs are three double bedrooms and a shower room. All three beds are kingsize, and two bedrooms have views across Loch Long. The essentials—heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and wifi—come as standard, and there's initial fuel for the wood burner.

Thornlie sits on the lochside within Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park, looking out towards the Arrochar Alps. The grounds include a back garden with patio and seating, and parking for two cars. The location suits people who want access to Scotland's walking routes and woodland trails, including Puck's Glen nearby. No smoking is permitted inside the property.
