A peaceful escape within a historic building - Endrick Cottage itself dates back to the 1800's and is the birthplace of Alexander Greek Thomson - a prominent Scottish architect. Located in the village of Balfron it is the perfect base for exploring the countryside and on the outskirts of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. The Coo Shed comfortably sleeps two with a beautiful decked area for you to enjoy your morning coffee or evening glass of wine. There are tea and coffee making facilities within the room with a small fridge where you will find a care package of milk, fruit juice, bread, butter, cereals and jam.
