It is well located as it is at the beginning of the main street of Aberfoyle and the Co-op is only a few steps from the flat, which is very handy to do the shopping every time we needed to buy something. We had a warm welcome from the chatty owner who explained everything we needed to know for our stay. There is no doubt that if I have to go back to the same place again, I will definitely choose to stay in the same flat with pleasure.
