Guests say
Grace's Cottage in Callander is a well-loved holiday destination, praised for its cosy and comfortable ambiance, beautiful location, and thoughtful touches by the owners. Guests have enjoyed multiple stays, highlighting the cottage's well-equipped nature, the welcoming wood fire, and the proximity to scenic walks and the loch. The property is also appreciated for its spaciousness, tasteful decoration, and the convenience of en-suite bathrooms.
Guests have described the rooms as very comfortable and clean, indicating high standards of cleanliness. However, one mention of the cooker requiring a deep clean slightly impacts the score.
The cottage's location is consistently praised for its beauty and tranquillity, with easy access to local walks and the loch. The proximity to Loch Lomond and the Trossachs is a bonus, although the single track road access is noted.
Reviewers find the cottage comfortable and cosy, with a wood fire, comfortable beds, and exceptional mattresses. The presence of en-suite bathrooms adds to the comfort level.
The property is described as well-equipped, with a good size dining area and a safe garden for dogs. However, some kitchen equipment was mentioned as needing replacement, and there was a minor issue with remote controls.
The owners' thoughtfulness is evident through welcome packs and birthday cards, as well as ensuring guests found the cottage safely. While gifts are mentioned, it is important to note that such personal touches, though delightful, are not guaranteed.
About this property
Exceptionally well furnished for a relaxing holiday in a picturesque location with footpaths from the doorstep.. This is a superb location for a family holiday, hidden away in Invertrossachs in Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. Your journey to the cottages takes you through some of the most spectacular scenery along the side of Loch Venachar. Originally built at the beginning of the 1900s as part of Invertrossachs Estate for the game keeper, this area has long been known for its outstanding natural beauty. Queen Victoria visited the estate in 1869 and planted a tree to commemorate the visit. A magical place for nature lovers and bird watchers, you are surrounded by ancient woodland with deer, pine martens, otters who fish in the stream, flora and fauna. A perfect location to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings of this spectacular area.
If you prefer to go out into the great outdoors then you are spoilt for choice. From your doorstep there is an abundance of footpaths, cycle tracks, sailing and fishing. There are some excellent mountain walks locally with Ben Ledi, Ben Venue, Ben Lomond, all within a short drive. There is a local golf course in Callander and several excellent courses within an hour’s drive, including Gleneagles. Nearby Callander, a Victorian tourist town and famed for being the location for the original TV series of Dr Finlay’s casebook, is a good place to enjoy a meal or drink, stock up with supplies and some general retail therapy.
