Rob Roy Apartment, situated in the charming village of Buchlyvie, Stirling, is an impressive ground-floor apartment nestled within the historic Auchentroig House. Featuring traditional character throughout, a warming woodburning stove, an electric Aga, a hot tub and a rich heritage, this thoughtfully restored home offers ample off-road parking and a peaceful setting near the Queen Elizabeth Forest Park.
Ideal for a family or group of friends, Rob Roy Apartment welcomes four guests seeking to explore all that this picturesque corner of Scotland has to offer. Steeped in history, Auchentroig House once served as a hospital for Allied soldiers during the Second World War.
Before the estate was divided and sold, the Crawford family ran a successful textile enterprise under the Auchentroig Homespuns label, weaving tweed and woollen goods that echo through the home’s refined touches today. After unloading your belongings, be instantly impressed by the ground-floor apartment, once the staff quarters of historic Auchentroig House, and now thoughtfully transformed into a welcoming retreat.
The very spacious kitchen/diner, kept wonderfully warm by an electric Aga set within an exposed brick fireplace, is well-equipped with all the essentials required to make your self-catered stay a success. Large windows flood the space with natural light, and a galley-style ‘working’ kitchen area just off the main room adds practicality to charm.
Settle down at the dining table ready to tuck in, or venture outside to the updated patio, where you can delight in an alfresco affair, relaxing in the hot tub or enjoying the garden furniture under fairy lights as the evening draws in. When the evening grows cooler, retreat to the inviting sitting room and light the woodburning stove, framed by a white fireplace and mantel that adds a touch of elegance to the space.
