  Our 7-day stay at Gavinburn cottages in Old Kilpatrick Scotland was all that we could have hoped for. The location and accommodation were ideal. Our hosts spared no effort to... read more ensure we enjoyed all the comfort and convenience of the Glenmorangie unit. Views from the cottage, set in the most tranquil farm area, were outstanding. Access to and from Glasgow city and airport, and some of the most beautiful scenery the west of Scotland offers is so easy.

Should we ever return to the area, Gavinburn cottages will be our first choice for a home-from-home.

  We are just home for our stay at Gavinburn cottages, we stayed in the AUCHENTOSHAN which was stunning.

  This wasn't our first trip to the stunning Gavinburn Cottages and we will definitely be back.... again!!
On this occasion we stayed in the Glenlivet having resided in... read more the Macallan on previous visits, both are equally fantastic in their quality of furnishings and finish.
The surroundings and views are stunning no matter what time of the year we have visited. Having enjoyed time here in both the summer and winter periods, the cottages lend themselves to a drink on the patio during a sunny evening, or cozy night on the couch by the stove when the temperature dictates.
The location is ideal for travelling around the west of Scotland, with Loch Lomond only 15 mins away by car and Glasgow City Centre easily accessible by car or by train from Old Kilpatrick. The purpose of our recent stay in August was to relax, we spent our time exploring the hillside conveniently located on the doorstep of the cottages. They are also extremely handy for the Forth & Clyde Canal footpath where we walked to the Bowling Basin.
Finally the Scottish inspired welcome hamper which was waiting for us on our arrival was a great touch and thoroughly enjoyed by my partner who was new to Scotland during our first visit. As others have commented both Alex and Leigh-Ann were a brilliant during our stay, although we had no issues they were easily contactable and had a great knowledge of the surroundings areas. I have to apologise for not submitting a review a lot sooner!! Many thanks to both of you for your hospitality.

  Stunning location but within easy reach of Glasgow and Loch Lomond. We stayed in Glenmorangie, which is a lovely 1 bed, ideal for us two and the dog. Everything provided... read more including a great welcome pack. Accommodation is contemporary but in keeping with the historic cottage. Can’t recommend this more highly for a short or long break, endless walks right behind the cottage with stunning views across the Clyde. The owner Alex is very hands on and nothing was too much trouble.

  The Glenmorangie at Gavinburn Cottages is one of the best equipped apartments I have ever stayed in. The cottage was extremely comfortable and the views are stunning. Alex and... read more Leigh Anne Fleming have done a wonderful job providing holiday accommodation of an exceptionally high standard. Can’t wait to go back. More

  Had a fantastic week in Glenmorangie cottage. Beautiful little cottage, in stunning location. Views of the River Clyde and surrounding hills absolutely amazing. Very comfortable bed and house well equipped... read more - maybe a couple more saucepans in the kitchen would be good and a little mixing bowl. Excellent shower. Very warm little cottage. Had nice informative chat with owner Alex, about the local area. Walks up the hill are superb. Will definitely return.

  What an absolutely gorgeous cottage over looking the River Clyde. The cottage itself is beautifully decorated and very comfortable and such good value

It is well placed to... read more visit the other islands. On your doorstep are some great walks.

Alex was so great to deal with and nothing was too much bother.

Book these cottages before they get snapped up.

What a beautiful place Scotland is and the people are the friendliest

  Once again an amazing experience at Gavinburn. Third time here and we’ll be back. Luxury accommodation and spotlessly clean, all credit to Alex and his team. Great location within easy... read more reach of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs. Endless walks in the Kilpatrick Hills literally outside the door.

  As a couple we recently stayed in the Glenmorangie cottage for a week. We have stayed in countless self-catering properties over the years and would count this one among the... read more very best of them.
The cottage is clean, modern, fresh. The kitchen is very well equipped, with all of the usual crockery, cutlery, pans and utensils, as well as a teapot, cafetière, tinfoil, kitchen roll, teatowels, dish cloths, washing-up sponges and liquid, bin bags, torch, first aid kit, a Covid hygiene/cleaning kit etc etc. Also included is a generous supply of firewood, kindling, firelighters, a smart TV and always-on wifi, a hairdryer, full access to a laundry room with washing machine, dryer, detergent, ironing board and iron, and access to a locked bike shed. They have thought of everything!
On top of all that, the location is superb with stunning views and convenient for exploring Loch Lomond and hiking in the Trossachs as well as walking in the local Kilpatrick Hills and visiting Glasgow.
We didn't have any direct contact with Alex or Leigh-Anne during our stay and appreciated the contactless check-in/check-out with the convenient key safe just outside the cottage door. Alex and Leigh-Anne were in contact before our arrival and provided all the directions and information we needed. They also made it clear that they were readily available in case we needed them for anything.
All in all a most enjoyable stay. We rarely if ever stay at the same place twice, but we would love to stay at Gavinburn Cottages again.

  We stayed here for 8 weeks due to a domestic emergency (5 weeks at Macallan and 3 weeks at G|lenlivet. Couldn't fault the cottages - spacious, well-equipped in a beautiful... read more location up a private road with great walking on our doorstep (our dog loved the walk up the hill), very good facilities throughout (excellent TV and wifi). Very friendly, helpful host.
