We booked the Bield for a 70th Birthday celebration weekend incorporating three generations from teenagers to oldies. It's a wonderful period house with everything you might need to have a superb break in the lovely scenery around Aberfoyle. The rooms are spacious with comfortable beds. The kitchen is very well equipped and everything was spotlessly clean. You will feel spoiled with its cosy log fires and picturesque garden which includes a hot tub and seating area. There is plenty of parking next to the house and the immediate neighbourhood is quiet and peaceful. Its proximity to shops, pubs and restaurants is a bonus and we had great fun at Go Ape just minutes from the property
