    Only stayed 3 nights ;-)

    The best stay we had on our holidays in Scotland. We stayed in the garden room which included a small kitchen and a nice bathroom with a spacious shower and a bath. It was very clean, had a comfy bed, nice furniture, good WIFI and a brilliant view to the garden and river. We also enjoyed the delicious homemade shortbread and the drinking water from Loch Katrine. The breakfast was delicious with a bright choice. We loved the haggis, black pudding, eggs, fresh fruit salad and the yummi home made baking. The hosts made us feel very welcome. My husband asked Brian where to buy a cigar. 2 minutes later he came around with one, he never smoked. It was a high quality one! Thank you, Valerie and Brian, for making our stay so wonderful. It was great talking to you and hard to leave. We're looking forward to our next stay with you. Hopefully soon! Best wishes

    Nothing about riverside I didn't like .the location was good .

    The location was perfect and within 5 min walk to center where you can dine and have entertainment at you're finger tips .the guest house was clean comfortable and peaceful as all rooms are at back of property next to river and nothing but calming sounds of water and wildlife , the hosts were very good and made us feel at home straight away , breakfast was incredible with so many different things to choose from , definitely going to stay again and perhaps take a swim in the river behind the house .

    There was nothing that I didnt like.

    Facilities were excellent, bathroom was very modern and clean, cleanliness overall was great and breakfast was really lovely with a good choice and also homemade jams, marmalades and fresh fruit. Hadnt realised that they have a permit which allows visitors to fish the river at the end of the garden so if we visit again my husband will take his fishing rods.

The room was lovely and comfortable, the breakfast was delicious and the hosts were very friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend staying here!

    Just one thing would make it better for me, hand rails to hold on to in the shower as I'm no too good on my feet.

    The location was perfect, just a short walk from the town centre, with views of the river. The room was cosy, warm and spotless, we'll definitely be back in the future, it's an ideal stop off on the way up to the Highlands. The hosts, Brian & Val, are a lovely couple and couldn't do enough for us. Also the breakfast was amazing. Would definitely recommend it to friends and family.

    Breakfast was fantastic. Hosts so friendly and helpful. Location perfect for Callander itself and exploring further afield. Perfect for stop off before venturing into the Highlands although definitely stay more than several nights as there is plenty to see and do locally.
