Balquhidder lies on the No.7 cycle path and is surrounded by magnificent countryside. As well as gentle walks nearby, it is also close to several Munroes – including Ben More, Ben Vorlich and Ben Lawers - offering exceptional hill-walking on the doorstep. From the house, you can see red squirrels, tree creepers and deer. Fishing is available locally in Loch Voil and the River Balvaig and bikes can be hired in Strathyre or Callander.
The location is extremely peaceful and a particular feature is the lack of any light pollution at night, giving amazing starry skies. For rainy days or quiet evenings in, the owners have made available a collection of games and puzzles as well as a selection of fiction and non-fiction books, including books on Scotland and wildlife.
The cottage is furnished to a high standard in a contemporary style with Egyptian cotton bed linen and towels and hypo-allergenic pillows and duvets. Oil central heating is included in the price - the kitchen, living room and hall have radiators and the rest of the house, which is oak, floored or tiled, has under floor heating.
Although Tom na Voil is the owners' holiday home, they are keen that it should also contribute to the local economy and visitors are encouraged to buy local produce.
