Cottage vacation rentals in North Lanarkshire

A great getaway with loads to do close by for whatever mood you're in - great towns and cities like Calendar and Stirling less than half an hour away, equally beautiful countryside and multiple waterfalls, lochs and walks to choose from on the doorstep. Our toddler loved the on site swimming pool and the grown ups enjoyed the peaceful views from the hot tub too! Rosie was so friendly and accommodating.

Our stay at Laura's house was incredible. She provided everything we needed and more. We had our 1yr and 3yr with us and she had a toy for them, provided a high chair and bath seat along with the cot we requested. The house was so clean and beautiful, everything was perfect! Loved being surrounded by farm land, you can see Wallace Monument from the back of the house. The back patio is fenced in so our boys could play safely. We loved the hot tub! What a bonus! Laura responded to every message immediately, she had a welcome basket of food and champagne for us, she was so helpful and accommodating. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Very well designed cottage making the best possible use of quite a small space - with both a shower room and bathroom , utility room as well as kitchen/living space and the patio with hot tub. Although near to the High Street with a range of takeaways and a superb butcher (Hunters) the cottage is in a very quiet street. The nearby Curate Wynd free car park was very handy and we could unload from there. Although Dawn and Darren were away Dawn was on hand to answer any queries. We had a great three day break - spending the days at the RSPB Nature Reserve in stunning weather. We ate out one night at the Balgedie Toll Tavern - highly recommended for great food and very good service.

We had an amazing stay. The cottage was beautiful and the surrounding views were breathtaking. Marcin was an attentive host and we would definitely recommend this place!

Wonderful stay. The location is absolutely superb. What amazing views and so peaceful and remote. Sitting in the hot tub looking out over the hills was pure bliss!! And the stars you could see on a clear night, wow. Despite being so remote it’s close enough to Edinburgh that you can drive in and do all the attractions. So just perfect. Kylie was a fab host too, leaving Easter eggs for the kids and letting the kids feed her kunekune pig one day! The animals are great, especially Karen then hen, although she will come inside if allowed haha! All in all, we had a fantastic stay. Thank you Kylie

A tranquil and peaceful stay in this spacious and well equipped cottage. We were well looked after by Jenny and co. and felt totally relaxed. Enjoyed our interactions with farm life, which included birthing a lamb, petting the donkies and seeing the newborn kittens, it made our stay very special. The house is well located for trips into Edinburgh and Glasgow, or to enjoy nearby countryside. You won't regret it!

Helen was an excellent host and very helpful when we were dropped off at the wrong place! We felt really welcomed in their home, and enjoyed the lovely welcome gift. The hot tub is lovely and overlooks the beautiful property. Loved our stay!

Thank you for a beautiful stay!. Myself and 2 friends were celebrating turning 40. The house was stunning, and beautifully cared for. Everything we needed was at hand and if we had needed anything Emily was just a door knock away which was great to know. This little gem makes you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere taking some much needed time away.

Another wonderful family stay at Leanne’s. It really is our home from home. Thank you Leanne for everything and see you again soon.

Had a great stay here, everything was here that I needed, my dogs were also very well catered for. I had to change the plans a couple of times and Anne was very responsive and very helpful. Would 100% recommend this little apartment, it was small but perfectly formed with a quaint little courtyard. Love it.

This was our second stay at the cottage and had a lovely time. Cozy, with everything you could possibly need and having the log fire is a bonus. The location is perfect for us as it is close to family but staying on a working farm is also fun to see everything going on. Would definitely stay again.

We absolutely fell in love with the place. The cottage was warm, cosy, and had everything one needed. I travelled with my granny, daughter and my dog Bailey and we all settled down quickly, it was like being at home. But it wasn't only about the cottage and the lovely host; it was also about the location. The cottage is located just outside of Drymen, a lovely little village with very kind people. I do recommend it to anyone who's looking for a country getaway and who wants an unforgettable stay.

Amy and her husband couldn't of been more welcoming. A lovely little lodge nestled in the woods a perfect quiet get away, with plenty of space and walks for your dogs. Also some very delicious eggs, thank you again.

Nothing short of amazing! A nature lover’s paradise (even with the Scottish weather). Got dry weather for an hour one morning haha so had a lovely breakfast in the garden. Met two tiny (literally newborn) lambs in the field next to us! All wobbly on their feet. So cute!! Friendly hosts, very clean and well decorated.

This was an exceptional cottage which was furnished tastefully and to a very high standard ,and was extremely comfortable. David met me with the key and explained all the domestic workings , including the Rayburn cooker - which I was delighted to have in the kitchen to use ( remnants of my childhood and also in a property owned several years ago) This cottage was just a delight as a halfway meeting point for me and my friends from the north . I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a place to stay just a few miles off the main arterial route near Stirling .

We have family in the village but needed a place to sleep. The cottage was ideal. Comfortable beds. A well equipped kitchen. Outside seating if you’re fortunate with the weather. It’s a short wander along to the co-op if you need bits and pieces. Aberfoyle is stunning. Gorgeous walks all around you as well as opportunities to go and see some red squirrels. A lovely place to stay for a few days.

We enjoyed our stay. The location was rural but you are near Edinburgh and Glasgow. The cottage was fantastic and everything was immaculate. The rooms were lovely and spacious and each bedroom had its own en-suite. There was everything you need for your holiday. Janet was friendly and really helpful. We would definitely book this cottage again.

A great place to stay. Quiet and very comfortable. Lots to do nearby or just relax walking in the countryside.

My best friend and I rented the place to celebrate our birthday with some beautiful countryside and a hot tub, it really exceeded our expectations. We had issues turning the hot tub on and off again but in terms of using it was perfect. All the amenities were in great working order and beds were very comfortable. Would recommend for families as well with the massive garden and barbecue:)

Beautiful home right next to a nice playground. Location is perfect for us as we wanted somewhere away from the city, yet easily accessible. We drove 30mins to the tram station and park for free to get to Edinburgh. And the next day it took us about an hour drive from the house to get to Loch Lomond. Host did not reply my messages earlier that made me a little panic. But she immediately apologised and was so welcoming when we arrived. Love it!

House was great and centrally located. Duncan was a fabulous host who was very helpful with local recommendations.

Great cottage in a great location, perfect for spreading outwards in al directions. The grounds and the gardens are beautiful, particularly the river! Would definitely recommend and will definitely be staying again.

Amazing place for 4 of us to come back to in the evenings to relax while in the arena on a work trip. A beautiful change from hotels

This was our second holiday in Scott's cottage. It was spotlessly clean, the beds were very comfortable and Scott left lots of "goodies" which was great as it meant we didn't have to shop before breakfast the morning after we arrived. The location is lovely -quite rural and very peaceful with views out to the Campsie Hills and a river running nearby. There is a local shop and a bus stop almost directly outside the property with regular buses going via Kirkintilloch into Buchanan St bus station in Glasgow.
