    Cosy cottage. Touch tone lamps in bedroom were nice. Lovely, helpful, approachable owner. Had all that we needed for our stay. Starter pack provided was nice and tasty. Comfortable beds. Plenty of kitchenware for cooking, which we did every day....

Ballat Smithy Cottage was created from the former workshops of Ballat Smithy, which dates from the late 18th Century. The thick stone walls and sheeps' wool insulation ensure the cottage is warm in winter and cool in summer. The cottage is surrounded by beautiful countryside, and our location is ideal for those wishing to explore central and southern Scotland.
The Currie family have lived here since 1988, and every day we appreciate how fortunate we are to have such a lovely place to share with visitors. We enjoy riding our horses and walking with our dogs around the lochs and forests of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs. The cottage is beside our home, and we are always available to answer questions, provide information, or help you plan your day.
