Loved the house and the location. Excellent hosts. Fantastic view over the valley. House was clean and with everything we needed and more. We will be back!
Great house, with everything you’ll need for your stay. The view from the main room/balcony is fantastic. Great communication before and during the stay and simple self check in. Restaurants etc a short walk away. Happy to recommend.

Amazing! Wonderful spotlessly clean 5* fantastic property. Unspoilt stunning views to wake up to. Wonderful, kind attentive hosts. Loved every minute of our stay and can’t fault a thing. Wonderful walks on your doorstep, Killin is beautiful and has all the amenities you need.
Fantastic property! So clean and the check in process was very easy. The house is really well equipped and so close to the village - walking distance to the pub. All in all a great choice
Killin is a perfect location for exploring , hiking and day trips to Oban or Sterling. The town is very cute and has everything you need. Mikes house was comfortable, modern and clean with great views and nice outdoor areas. Enjoyed the fireplace, grill and there are bikes available. The Inn at the falls is great to sit outside for pizza and a pint. Also enjoyed the Killin Hotel and the Courie Inn. Mike was the perfect host. Great communication. Check in and out was a breeze. Highly recommend!
Wonderful picturesque town, great pubs and walks, handy supermarket.
The accommodation was outstanding, the photos don’t really do it justice. beautiful open plan kitchen/ lounge area ideal for socialising. Bedrooms and en-suites all top class. Friendly and helpful interaction with host. Would definitely go again.
Would recommend staying here. The house was fabulous and a well equipped kitchen etc. and the rooms were very nice. Beds were comfy. Bit tricky to Locate as the post code takes you to a different house. The house sat at the back of a drive on it’s own and the view was superb. Lovely walks nearby. Jake family & friends.
Fabulous house with everything you could want. The balcony is a real sun trap in the morning - yes we had the sun 🌞
Killin itself is lovely and the surrounding area is beautiful with plenty to do for all.
Our host was super helpful whenever we had any issues - which to be fair were all down to us.
Great family weekend, enjoyed by all - will be back.
We stayed at Bal-Na-Coille for five nights in August. The property has been decorated to a high modern standard with all rooms having on suite shower rooms. There is a separate bathroom too. The kitchen well designed and was well stocked with everything you would need in a self catering holiday and there is a BBQ available for use. The weather was against us most days but it was great to come back to the property after a day battling the elements thanks to how welcoming and cosy the house is. I would highly recommend this property and I'd like to thank the owner Mick for all his help and attentiveness throughout our stay.
Bal-na-Coille has everything you need a real home from home. The accommodation throughout is excellent. The surrounding area is beautiful and we were really lucky to have sunshine throughout our stay. So spent lots of time sitting out on the veranda and sunning ourselves in the garden, Killin is a lovely village and we would recommend the Courie Inn for dinner, very dog friendly.
The property was an excellent choice for a long weekend with two elderly parents. The house was spotless and everything to the highest standard. Communication with the owner Mike was excellent.
Fantastic property, there was nothing we didn’t have. House was clean and spacious. With everything you could want or need. The view from the balcony glorious
Mike was very responsiv and provided a lot of helpful tips. The house was in a very good condition, very clean and well equipped with everything we needed for our great stay. The terrace invites to enjoying the sun outside.
The area is great for daytrips and outdoor activities.
Highly recommend booking it. Thanks a lot to Mike and Steven

Great location in a small, quiet town
Large, roomy 3 bedroom house on the edge of a picturesque Trossacs town. Location is excellent for exploring the surrounding countryside and National Park. The house is very well appointed and has lots of room. Seating is comfortable, as are the beds. 3 bathrooms are roomy and well appointed. Open plan kitchen / dining room / living room is very spacious. Kitchen is well equipped. Excellent property.
Though we have some experience with renting houses for holiday reasons we were simply astonished what an amazing home we found with Mikes house in Killin.
Well equipped, clean -real big - and nice Interieur. Much room for everyone of us six adults.
Thank you Mike for a wonderfull holiday

The house is very homely with everything you could possibly need for a relaxing stay. It was spotlessly clean and very well equipped.
Quiet neighbourhood with lots of home comforts .
For our 3 night stay there are enough restaurants close by to eat in a different place each night. The location of the house is central to explore east and west coast in hour to hour and half driving.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property.
Contact with owner was fast and easy.
Der Aufenthalt in Bal-na-Coille war phantastisch . Wir können das Haus nur weiterempfehlen . Auch die Ausstattung der Küche und die Umgebung sind traumhaft . Die Kommunikation mit Mike war 100 % . Als Ausgangspunkt für Exkursionen in alle Richtungen ist die zentrale Lage ideal . Wir kommen gerne wieder .
Wir waren für zwei Wochen mit 5 Personen und 2 Hunden in dieser tollen Unterkunft. Die Lage in Killin ist super, man geht zu Fuß in den Ort um einzukaufen oder essen zu gehen. Das Haus ist top ausgestattet, es hat uns wirklich nichts gefehlt. Die Betten sind recht schmal aber sehr gemütlich und jedes Zimmer hat ein eigenes Bad, das ist wirklich toll. Küche auch bestens ausgestattet. Tolle Ausblicke aus dem gemütlichen Wohnzimmer. Zu den verschiedenen Attraktionen in der Umgebung fährt man meist ca 1 Stunde oder länger. Mike war ein hervorragender Gastgeber, immer ansprechbar, sehr freundlich und entspannt. Vielen herzlichen Dank und alles Gute!
We had a fabulous week at Bal-na-coille! The property was immaculate, well-equipped and very spacious and comfortable. The living area is open plan with lots of space in each of the kitchen, dining and seating areas. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you would need and more. We’re only sorry that the weather wasn’t good enough for a barbecue.
Before we arrived, Mike (the host) kept us fully informed sending us a welcome pack and giving us recommendations for dog-friendly places to eat in Killin. We can highly recommend The Courie Inn and the Falls of Dochart Inn was also very good. A really thoughtful touch was a box of Quality Street and a bottle of wine waiting for us when we arrived.
There’s lots to see in and around Killin and the autumn colours were stunning. The Falls are spectacular and we hunted out the Stone Circle, the Dochart Viaduct and Finlarig Castle without having to leave the town. We also enjoyed short trips to Aberfeldy, Pitlochry and Callander.
We’ve every intention of coming back to Killin during another season to be able to appreciate the stunning scenery.
Thank you to Mike and family for letting us share your lovely home.
