Explore The Trossachs…

Discover Natural Wonders

The Trossachs Collection is inspired by the incredible countryside so close to our accommodation. It was the artists, poets and writers of the early 1800s whose poems, stories and art first put the Trossachs on the map. For the 200 years that have followed, people have visited the Trossachs to see for themselves the dramatic and romantic scenery that they so vividly described and painted.

Now we have created peaceful, modern and comfortable accommodation for you to relax in after a day spent exploring. There is plenty to see and do, including a forest the size of Glasgow, numerous lochs, pretty villages, glens, hills and mountain ranges. Some excellent attractions will get you up close to the scenery, there’s even a newly revitalised Trossachs Trail to help guide you.

Below you can see some highlights, for more information visit our local directory, linked below.

The trail starts close to our accommodation at the Trossachs Trail. The route is 40-miles and takes in the towns of Aberfoyle and Callander. It was inspired by the Trossachs Tour of the 1800s.
