In the heart of the Trossachs, where ancient forests meet mirror-calm lochs, Hazel Apartment offers the kind of Scottish escape that lingers in memory long after you leave.
This ground-floor retreat sits in the charming village of Aberfoyle, perfectly placed for exploring the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park. With Glasgow and Edinburgh both an hour away and Stirling just thirty minutes by car, you have the Highlands on your doorstep without sacrificing accessibility.
Step inside to find a spacious open-plan living area filled with natural light. The electric woodburner creates that cosy Highland atmosphere on cooler evenings, while the Smart TV provides entertainment when the Scottish weather turns. The well-equipped kitchen has everything needed for self-catering stays, including a dishwasher, and guests have praised the excellent oven for home cooking after a day in the hills.
Two comfortable bedrooms await: a double and a twin, both with en-suite toilets. The additional shower room means no morning queues, even with a full house. Fresh linens, fluffy towels, and reliable WiFi are all included. Guests consistently mention how accurate the photos are and how spacious the apartment feels in person.
The south-facing patio at the front catches the afternoon sun, while the shared garden provides ample space for morning coffee or evening relaxation. If you are bringing a four-legged friend, they will appreciate both the garden and the forest trails that start just minutes away.
Aberfoyle village is a two-minute stroll from your door. Pick up supplies at the Co-op, hire bikes from the local shop, or settle into one of the cosy pubs for a post-walk pint. The village has a selection of coffee shops and restaurants, all within easy walking distance.
The walking and cycling here rival anywhere in Scotland. Ben A'an, that iconic pointed peak overlooking Loch Achray, offers dramatic views stretching to the Arrochar Alps for a moderate half-day hike. For something gentler, the forest trails around Aberfoyle suit all abilities. Ben Venue and Ben Lomond are both within a short drive for more ambitious summit attempts. The area is also home to Go Ape for treetop adventures, an eighteen-hole golf course, and water sports on nearby Loch Ard.
A seasonal bus links Aberfoyle to Callander via the scenic Duke's Pass road and Loch Katrine, where the historic steamship Sir Walter Scott still cruises the waters. For rainy days, Loch Lomond Shores at Balloch offers shopping, an aquarium, and waterside dining.
Whether you are seeking a base for Highland adventures or simply a peaceful corner of Scotland to unwind, Hazel Apartment delivers warmth, comfort, and location in equal measure.
