About this property

Completely renovated in 2022, Arngomery Cottage is a charming property set within beautiful surroundings. It forms a self-contained wing of the old coach house and stables of Arngomery Court. The two bedroom cottage has been furnished sympathetically and includes a wood burning stove in the comfortable and spacious living/dining room. The bathroom has been fully refurbished and the kitchen living room area has been opened up to create a large kitchen/living/dining room. A brand new kitchen and heating system have also been installed. Outside there is a private terrace and guests are free to enjoy the picturesque and tranquil grounds of approximately 2 acres. For young children there is a play area with a trampoline and swing. Linen, towels, cleaning and 2 baskets of logs are included in the price. Well behaved dogs are welcome (additional charge of £30). Neighboring Arngomery Stables is also available to rent for larger groups of family and friends.

Although surrounded by mature trees and fields, a pleasant 10 minute walk takes you to the little village of Kippen with its two good pub/restaurants, village shop and coffee shop. This is a great central location from which to explore the rest of Scotland. Stirling Castle and the lochs and mountains of the Trossachs are a short drive away while Edinburgh and Glasgow are just over an hour’s drive. The Highlands and the east and west coasts can also all be reached very easily.

Wunderschönes Cottage in ländlicher Umgebung

Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und würden jederzeit unsere Freunde dort hin schicken. Wir hatten wunderbare 3 Wochen verbraucht. Mark und seine Frau waren sehr nette und zuvorkommende Gastgeber, die immer für uns da waren. Die Wohnung ist wunderbar eingerichtet. Es hat an nichts gefehlt. Der Kaminofen hat die ganze Sache noch mal abgerundet. Der Garten war sehr schön und wer Ruhe sucht, aber doch einigermaßen Stadt nah wohnen möchte, ist hier richtig aufgehoben. Besser gehts nicht *****

Fantastic and Tranquil

We loved the area and that it was a quick walk to town. It’s also close to many local attractions we were interested in touring. The people in the area were so kind. There are trails to walk and birds singing, sheep on the hills. It’s just a beautiful location. Sometimes we had to make ourselves get out of the house just because we loved being there. The design on the interior was peaceful and comfortable while still feeling modern, too. The kitchen was fantastic for cooking dinners. I really can’t think of anything negative to say. Debbie and Mark were wonderful hosts and very responsive. We were there two weeks and never got bored. Highly recommend!

Peaceful and relaxing

A lovely, warm, spacious and comfortable property on one level. The grounds were mostly lawn with fragrant shrubs in the gardens. If you love birdsong, this place with all its trees and a countryside and woodland walk right on the doorstep will suit you, as will the pretty village about a mile away - two pubs serving food, a well-stocked shop and a charming cafe which also sells delicious take-away food. The Cottage is fairly central to Stirling, Edinburgh, Glasgow and their sights. Debbie and Mark were really welcoming and pleasant, but unobtrusive, and brought us a new barbecue which unfortunately we could not use due to the weather being on the cold side. Our dog loved exploring in the garden, which is safe, unless your dog is inclined to roam, in which case you might need a long lead. There are two swings and a trampoline if you have children, and plenty of strategically placed areas to sit. I wholeheartedly recommend this cottage if you want to get away from it all but have the security of knowing there is civilisation not far away!!

Perfect break away from it all

Thoroughly enjoyed our short break at Arngomery Cottage, just the tonic we all needed, even with all the new Covid restrictions that had just been introduced, though it would've been lovely to have sampled the local pubs... hopefully on our next visit! The cottage was welcoming and cosy and had everything we needed. The surrounding area was stunning and you didn't have to drive far to discover a memorable view. Until next time :) x

We all loved it.

The cottage and the location are just as lovely as the tenants are. It is very quiet. Considering that pets are welcome it is also very clean. For kits ther is a lot to discover in the huge garden. The area is perfect to dive into the Scottish country side, with all its light hikes and beautiful lakes/lochs. We just can recommend it.

Okay locatie voor kort verblijf

We hebben deze woning drie weken gehuurd. Prachtige tuin en leuke woning. We hadden wel problemen met het sanitair. Een verstopping in de eerste week. Dit is door de eigenaar prima verholpen maar het blijft vervelend. Daarnaast konden wij twee weken niet douchen omdat er weinig waterdruk was en het water werd erg snel koud. Dit kan ook de oorzaak zijn geweest van het riool probleem. Omdat deze lage waterdruk vanaf dag 1 zo was, namen wij aan dat dit zo hoorde. In week drie werden er werkzaamheden uitgevoerd en konden wij normaal douchen. Tot slot vonden wij het lastig dat de hal naar de slaapkamers niet overal gordijnen had wat een behoorlijke inkijk tot gevolg had, ook in de badkamer. Ook de oprit naar het huis had veel kuilen wat waarschijnlijk in Schotland gewoon is, maar wat met een zwaar beladen auto toch best spannend is. Daarnaast waren er nog wat kleinere punten van kritiek. Wij zullen dit huis niet aanbevelen voor een verblijf voor langer dan 1 week.

Not much luxury in this cottage

We would say that this cottage was not a luxury cottage by any means. There was certainly a lot of space but we feel it was"tired" and needed some t.l.c. The cooker was absolutely disgusting didn't fancy using it. The green bin under the table was filthy. We would not recommend this cottage.

About the host

Hosted by Deborah Quinn

We moved back to Scotland from London in 2004 and since then have been living in Arngomery Court and renting out the adjoining Arngomery Cottage. We love living in this characterful old property and over the years have been gradually refurbishing and improving things. It's a lot of work but we don't mind as it’s such a special place. Also, we have met many wonderful guests over the years and very much enjoy welcoming them back.

Why they chose this property

The cottage benefits from being out in the countryside but close enough to walk
to Kippen village. It is very peaceful and surrounded by wildlife (birds of prey, roe deer, rabbits). At night it is dark and you can see the stars. There are over 2 acres of garden and woodland for guests to enjoy along with their own private dining and garden area. Kippen is a great location. It is a lovely village with 2 great pubs, a cafe, and local shop. The village is great for walking and is surrounded by woodland which dog walkers particularly enjoy. One can easily explore the Trossachs and Loch Lomond and the cities of Stirling, Glasgow and Edinburgh.

What makes this property unique

Beautiful peaceful surroundings but within walking distance of the village. Also characterful and spacious cottage with a large log burner.
