Reviewers frequently highlighted the immaculate condition of the lodge, with multiple mentions of its spotless cleanliness. This suggests a very high standard maintained by the property.
The location is celebrated for its stunning views and proximity to nature walks, although there were some comments about ongoing construction and excavation. The scenic beauty seems to outweigh the temporary disturbances.
Comfort is highly rated, with guests finding the lodge cosy and well-heated. Suggestions for additional outdoor seating and a child gate for safety were made, but overall, the lodge provided a comfortable stay.
Facilities are generally well-received, with the lodge being described as well-equipped. However, there were minor issues such as the absence of a can opener, a lamp, and a mop, and some found the kitchen storage overly full. Maintenance issues were promptly addressed by the owner.

About this property
Tucked away in the picturesque Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park in the charming village of St Fillans is Rowan. This fabulous, dog-friendly lodge benefits from a welcoming, open-plan interior with electric flame-effect stove, off-road parking space and excellent location in the breath-taking and fun-filled Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park; the perfect setting for families, friends or couples looking to explore the wonders of Perthshire. Cross the threshold into your new home-from-home where you can unwind in front of the Smart TV by the gentle warmth of the electric flame-effect stove while the designated chef of the group rustles up a hearty meal in the fully equipped kitchen. Dine together at the dining table or indulge in an alfresco affair upon the decking; the perfect place to raise a toast to your well-earned break! When stars appear overhead, travel back inside to wash off the day’s adventures in the bathroom before sloping off to sleep in one of two bedrooms; choose between a double with a handy en-suite or twin. First thing in the morning, if you can pull yourself away, head to Loch Earn, which is literally right outside your door, and try your hand at paddleboarding, kayaking, water-skiing, and wakeboarding. St Fillans Golf Club is a popular 9-hole course that also features a bar and restaurant. You can spend your time hiking in the nearby mountains of Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park and then refuel with hearty meals at one of the area's hotels. Achray House Ben Vorlich, a fantastic vantage point to take in magnificent views, is just a short walk away from the railway and the Four Seasons hotel, making it easily accessible to hikers. The café in the local convenience store serves up delicious beverages and baked goods. Travel to Perth, if you'd rather spend your time in a thriving city, where you can visit attractions like the Black Watch Castle and Museum, Perth Museum & Art Gallery, and Kinnoull Hill Woodland Park, as well as a wide variety of retail establishments, eateries, and watering holes where you can buy groceries, relax with a drink, and get some work done. Be sure to stop at the childhood home of Mary, Queen of Scots, Stirling Castle, one of Scotland's largest and most important castles. Experience all this and more at Rowan!

The welcome basket was a lovely surprise. It has everything you need for a relaxing break. We stayed for 3 nights with our dog and there were some great walks with amazing views! I would definitely recommend and would love to come back! Very relaxing and chilled!

Not quite as close to the loch as Iâd thought. Facilities are great and everything you need (although we couldnât find a pizza cutter) but thatâs a minor thing. The what3words in the booking reference isnât correct, it takes you to Manse Lane so needs to be corrected. Location for Comrie and Crieff is great and further afield if you want, or equally ideal for simply relaxing looking at the view.
