Wester Lix was once a farm sitting in an area of open
hillside. Over the years the buildings have been modified, refurbished
and extended to provide extremely comfortable accommodation for couples, families and small groups.
We are situated just over 3 miles from the village
of Killin, right in the center of the Dochart Forest. From the grounds
one can access many local walks, some along former railway tracks
one of which will take you into Killin itself, and others to local
waterfalls or out onto open hillside. The local area forms part
of The Loch Lommond and Trossachs National Park and is therefore
protected from development.
At Wester Lix there is a strong affinity with
animals, from the family pets, chickens and sheep, the bats nesting
in the lofts, to the local wildlife such as the deer that live in
the adjoining forest. We therefore welcome pets by arrangement but
will insist on them being Vaccinated to protect our own and those
of other guests.
Our aim is simple, to provide a true home from
home, affordable quality accommodation in a peaceful and secluded
setting to those seeking to appreciate this area of the Scottish
Highlands. To achieve this we have decorated and equipped the cottages
to a level that we would expect when looking for a relaxing break
ourselves. The result is a compliment of comfort and usability suitable
as a base to enjoy the great outdoors. We pride ourselves in welcoming many repeat visits from guests which for us is a testimony that we are doing something right.
The present owners Gill and Dave, purchased the
old farm buildings and approx 9 acres of the surrounding land in
summer of 1999. In the summer of 2006 two of the properties were sold to Heather and Peter Nissen leaving Jonnas Cottage and the Farmhouse for holiday rental.
New for 2007 we are offering residential and non residential training courses in Photograhy for individuals and grouops at various levels and interests. details..
