They are surrounded by unspoilt countryside and set in a haven of peace and tranquillity, providing a wonderful holiday retreat and an ideal base for friends and family to spend time together and explore Loch Lomond and beyond.

We researched the area and found this location to be ideal for Edinburgh and Glasgow. Loch Lomand is up the road and Stirling too… plenty of walks and not to mention the scenery .The cows are the special attraction they greet you when you come and say goodbye when you leave..plus plenty of birds too ..the cows didn’t disturb us at all. We loved it there ..I told Gemma I could move in …nothing was too much trouble for them ..Go to Callendar for some incredible pies !!!You won’t be disappointed ..we didn’t want to come home .We will be back !!!!!Rob..Denise and James Douglas
