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.

Great stay we loved the cottage. The layout with the living area, dinning erea, with the kitchen all leading off each other is what we look for in a cottage, as we can all hear and see each other.This part is spacious and yet cosy too.Very clean, and quality furniture all throughout the house.The bedrooms were fresh and very comfortable, and so convenient having 3 of them en-suite.Beds were comfortable. The surroundings are so tranquil, and being out in nature was sheer bliss.David texted back within minutes, when I contacted him.Book Grace’s Cottage and you'll be happy, we will be coming back.Sharon

We had an excellent stay at Grace's Cottage. It is a beautiful cottage in a stunning location. It had everything we needed for a relaxing family break. The communication from the hosts was superb throughout. We look forward to returning some day.
