Cottage with garden & jacuzzi

Yew Tree is an exceptional lodge resting on the banks of the River Lochay in Killin, Stirling, offering off-road parking, a private hot tub, and striking floor-to-ceiling glazing that frames uninterrupted riverside views. Positioned across a single storey, this property welcomes four guests and is defined by its vaulted ceiling and light-filled open-plan design. Step inside and the sense of space is immediate, with the vaulted ceiling drawing the eye upward while the glass gable end brings the river and surrounding landscape directly into view. The open-plan living area forms the heart of the lodge, where the kitchen, dining and sitting spaces flow together, creating a setting for shared moments throughout the day. Large windows ensure the ever-changing movement of the river remains part of the experience, while underfloor heating runs beneath your feet, shaping a consistent atmosphere throughout. The two bedrooms, one king-size and one twin, are arranged to offer flexibility for families or couples travelling together, with two bathrooms nearby, each featuring a bath with shower over. The layout allows for both shared time in the main living space and quieter moments when needed. Outside, the decking sits beside the river, where seating invites you to take in the surroundings at different times of day. The hot tub is positioned to make the most of the outlook, offering a different perspective across the water as the light shifts. Killin lies within easy reach, where the Falls of Dochart provide a striking focal point, with water flowing over rocky formations in the centre of the village. Along Loch Tay, wide landscapes and shoreline routes offer opportunities to explore, while Aberfeldy is home to The Birks of Aberfeldy and Dewar's Aberfeldy Distillery. For those looking to venture further, Ben Lawers introduces a broader Highland setting shaped by sweeping views and walking routes. Yew Tree offers a memorable base for discovering this part of Stirling.

Cup markings on rocks and stone circles tell of an ancient race that inhabited this area. Christianity came to Breadalbane in the 8th century with St Fillan with the Mill bearing his name and St Fillan's Day held on the 3rd Tuesday in January. The village is strongly associated with two renowned clans, Clan Campbell and Clan MacNab. Finlarig Castle, to the north of the village, was the Campbell stronghold and the MacNabs have their ancient burial ground of Inchbuie near the bridge over the falls. Killin today is a popular tourist destination, due in no small part to the use of the falls in various films and television programmes. The village today has a varied selection of shops, bars and restaurants and watersports are available on nearby Loch Tay. Ideal for walking, Killin has Ben Lawers, the highest of the surrounding Bens, to the north and Ben More and Stobinian to the west.
