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 lovely cottage with great views of the wildlife and countryside. A short drive into Callander, great places to eat and shop. Our two dogs loved there. The hamper was a great touch by the owners.

Cozy, comfortable and well equipped cottage. The welcome hamper is a lovely touch. Perfect for those who are looking for peace and quiet. Wood fired hot tub available, however we did not use it. Ideal for those who love walking and cycling. National cycle route 7 on your doorstep. Daily visits from red squirrels was a bonus. We absolutely loved our week at Bonnie's bothy and will definitely be back.
