3-star lochside self-catering retreat in Killin
Accommodation
Firbush Lochside Lodges has 5 self-catering units: two lodges (Lodge Lochay and Lodge Dochart) and three pods (Pod Tarmachan, Pod Lawers, Pod Ghlas). Each lodge offers a private bathroom, dining table, parquet floors, and a kitchen with refrigerator, microwave, oven, and stovetop. Each pod includes a private bathroom, small kitchen, and a terrace with outdoor furniture overlooking Loch Tay.
Location
The property sits directly on the shore of Loch Tay, within Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park. Falls of Dochart is 2.1 miles away, and the village of Killin is a 50-minute walk along a quiet road. Nearby restaurants include Shutters Restaurant, Cruachan Farm Restaurant, and The Boathouse Kitchen and Bar, all within a short drive.
Pet-Friendly Policies
Dogs are welcome at Firbush Lochside Lodges with an extra charge, and guests must request pet stays before arrival. A maximum of 2 dogs are allowed in the lodges and a maximum of 1 dog in the pods. Some guests have noted pet amenities such as a dog bed, water bowl, and puppy bags provided in the pods.
Self-Catering Facilities
Each unit is equipped with a kitchen that includes a refrigerator, microwave, oven, and stovetop for meal preparation. A dining table and outdoor picnic area allow guests to eat with views of the loch. There is no on-site restaurant or shop, so groceries should be brought from Killin (5 minutes by car).
Activities and Surroundings
Guests can walk directly to the loch shore for swimming or launching small boats - a pebble beach is accessible via a short path. Ben Lawers is a popular hike starting from a car park 10-15 minutes away. The property also provides maps for long hikes in the area, and birdwatchers have reported seeing red squirrels and robins.
