Corshill Cottages,
The Smiddy and The Stables
Near Thornhill,
Stirling
Sleeping 2 each
These two semi-detached cottages just about a mile from the village of Thornhill (pub, shop, PO) in Stirlingshire date back to the early 19th century, and have been sympathetically converted from a former blacksmith's smiddy into a pair of high standard cottages. Situated at the foot of the owner's large attractive garden (which they share) they offer comfortable, well-equipped, double-glazed, centrally-heated accommodation for any time of the year. They make an excellent base in central Scotland for exploring most of the Stirling (8 miles), Callander (7 miles), the Lake of Menteith and Aberfoyle (9 miles) countryside - taking in all the lovely Trossachs and central Scotland area, with excellent road connections to Glencoe, Fort William, Loch Lomond and Oban further afield.
So this is a most suitable location for those wishing to visit many of the well-known beauty spots of Scotland, as well as Glasgow and Edinburgh which are both about an hours drive away.
Heating is by gas CH (
included) and electricity is
included. Bed linen and towels are
included. Pets by arrangement. No smoking within the cottages please.
