Guests frequently commend the property for its cleanliness, describing it as spotless and well-maintained. There is a single mention of stained bedsheets, but this appears to be an isolated incident in the context of otherwise glowing feedback.
The location is highly praised for its tranquillity and proximity to walking routes and nature. The only drawbacks mentioned are the limited nearby dining options and the distance from a loch, which some guests found misleading.
Comfort is a strong point for Fois House, with guests finding the beds comfy and the property cosy, especially with the log burner. The powerful showers and underfloor heating are also appreciated. A few guests mention issues with heating upon arrival and the desire for better outdoor seating.
The facilities are generally well-regarded, with the property being described as well-equipped. However, some guests experienced minor maintenance issues such as a blocked vacuum and difficulty with the fire. The lack of Wi-Fi and mobile reception is noted, although some guests viewed this as a chance to disconnect.
While several reviews mention thoughtful gestures such as homemade flapjacks and bird feeders, not all reviews reference such gifts. As it cannot be determined if these are consistent offerings for all guests, it is politely noted that such thoughtful touches, while appreciated, are not guaranteed.
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.

Itâs perfectly located for trips to the Lochs or Stirling, and evenings spent around the cosy wood burner helped us to really unwind. The cottage now has wifi and we were able to connect to Netflix via the tv box. Already booked again for next year!
