Summary: We loved our 3 week stay at this delightful cottage. It was extremely comfortable, with a well equiped kitchen to self cater and a super co-op just minutes walk away. The large smart TV was also a bonus as we were there during Wimbledom and the start of the Olympics.We loved the village and all the wonderful walks that were available to us right from the front door. Killearn is also extremely well located to so many attractions making it easy to venture out on half day or day trips. Ken was a super host, very responsive and very helpful which made the whole experience even more memorable. Thank you so much.

Summary: We had a lovely time at Ken's and Caroline's small cottage. It was our honeymoon and Ken was kind enough to postpone our stay due to booking difficulties on our part. The Cottage is located in a nice scottish village that has a great restaurant and is all around quite lovely. The cottage itself is very cozy and is well equipped for guest. Especially the kitchen has massive amounts of kitchen ware with which to cook, although the stove is rather unusual (because it's always on). Works well enough though. Also there were a good amounts of cooking ingredients already there which made cooking for only a few days a lot easier and cheaper cause we didn't have to get things like Salt or Pepper in larger amounts. There was fast Wifi and a well equipped TV, a fireplace with wood supplied. Communication was great as well. Instructions always understandable and always fast replies. Two smaller complaints though: the cottage in general is rather dark, even when it's sunny outside. Nothing major and nothing that could be done about it, just a small thing that we per se didn't like as much. Secondly it was always somewhat colder in the cottage because the heat had to be turned on manually and took a while to get warm. So whenever we went out or during the night it cooled considerably. Again nothing major but irked us a bit. Overall a great little place in a very cute but still feeling modern little village.

Summary: Characterful and quirky, Ken and Caroline’s home is a cozy base for either setting out for a day of adventure or taking the many wonderful hikes right from their front door, or sitting by the fire as you listen to the rain. The bed is very comfortable and the showers are good. The bathrooms and bedrooms were clean. Killearn was an ideal location, with the Co-op just minutes from the house and three choices for coffee or a meal a short walk away.. The people were welcoming and friendly. We had a wonderful stay!

Summary: Cottage is exactly as pictured, very characterful. Makes you feel like you're very much in Scotland - big plus when you're visiting the region as a tourist. The house is well-equipped, with everything you'd need for cooking, washing, a big TV with Netflix and Amazon Prime, good WiFi. One thing it doesn't have is a dishwasher. And a thing you might need to get used to, is the Everhot oven, which is exactly that: always hot, no knobs to turn or dials to read. But we found it convenient, popping in the bread for a few minutes in the morning and getting great results with oven-prepared offerings from M&S. When you're done eating, sorting the waste can be a bit of a chore. It's nothing the owners can help or do about, but you have to sort all waste into five different bins. Luckily, the owners detail what waste goes into which bin in the provided manual - and apart from the manual there are a lot of labels and signs around the house with pointers/instructions for various things. The village of Killearn was a lovely surprise. It might not seem like much on the map, but it has plenty to offer. The Co-op supermarket just 50 meters down the road, is small but has pretty much everything you need and is open all day until late, even on Sundays. Then there's the The Old Mill pub/restaurant, a 5-minute walk, with good food and drinks. The Kitchen Window on the other side of the road for a coffee and some lunch. For the kids, there's a big playground/park practically around the corner. Around Killearn, there's a lot to explore. Loch Lomond is close by, cities like Stirling and Glasgow are half-hour drives. In between are castles and distilleries, little villages with great charm. All in all, if you're planning a vacation to Scotland, Lilybank is a perfect base.

Summary: Lilybank was a wonderful place to stay. The cottage was exactly as stated. Ken could not have been anymore helpful with us! He was extremely responsive! The Everhot was a bit intimidating but worked like a charm. The back porch was a great place to wrap up a long day of activities. We had a great time talking, listening to music and enjoying the privacy. I would absolutely recommend Lilybank to anyone. My only advice would be to bring a top sheet for the bedding. This was my first time to the UK and was unaware top sheets are not customary. Overall 5 star!!!
