The property is often described as cosy, warm, and comfortable, with a homely feel and comfy beds. The only minor discomfort mentioned relates to managing the indoor temperature during an unusually warm period.

About this property
Callander 7.4 miles. Fois House rests within driving distance of the Loch Lomond, within The Trossachs National Park, near the welcoming town of Callander. The Scottish Gaelic meaning translates to 'peace' and 'rest" which accurately describes the tranquil setting of the cottage, presenting landscape views from every window. It is ideal for couples, friends or a small family looking to get away from it all and discover a new adventure in a superb region of Scotland. Step inside from the long driveway and fully relax within this modern accommodation, tied together with bright colour schemes, handy appliances and plush furnishings, for that well-earned break. Gather in the lounge and get cosy by the woodburning stove, or throw open the French doors in summer and let a cool breeze fill the space. Rustle up a tasty meal in the fitted kitchen and dine together around the large table, a lovely sociable space for catching up over the day's events. Up the twisted staircase is a bright and airy twin room and across the hall, a double, each with Velux windows and built-in wardrobes. The family bathroom glistens on the landing, whilst the ground floor shower room is ideal coming in from a long muddy walk. Long summer afternoons beckon you onto the veranda from the sitting room, where you can enjoy balmy sunsets melting behind the hills beyond the trees. The bustling town of Callander offers a plethora of amenities to suit all tastes. You are completely surrounded by beautiful scenery, walking and cycling trails as well as picturesque lochs, historic sites and a myriad of wildlife. This is the escape you have been waiting for at Fois House.

Initially we got lost en route as lost phone and Internet signal (not the owners fault at all, the info to follow was clear enough). Very pleased when we arrived. Although we brought a Border Terrier and he could easily negate the gate escape. Larger dog would get stuck. No problem as we brought a long lead (he likes to watch outside when we weren't out and about). Showers are good, one single base noted to owner in maintenance but other than that, rooms are comfortable. A little warm, fan came in handy. Maybe a long mirror in hallway upstairs or one room would be a good addition. (Weather was fabulous and made for sitting on the decking). Comfortable lounge and a huge kitchen dining space with a comfortable sofa too. Don't want to say more as it was a hidden gem. Thank you Sue â¤
