About this property

The Byre Farm Cottage In The Trossachs With Pool And Hot Tub

The Byre at Back Borland holiday cottages. Situated in the fantastic location of the Trossachs National Park, these beautifully renovated 18th-century barn conversions, accessed via a rough track, lie in a peaceful location offering breathtaking views over Ben Lomond and the Menteith Hills. Gartmore is the perfect setting for those who love outdoor pursuits, with hundreds of kilometres of forest track easily accessible, The ‘endless’ swimming-pool provides optimal swimming conditions for a single swimmer and the current can be adjusted to a preferred level of difficulty. Even without the current, it still makes a lovely sized pool in which children can swim and have fun.

Please note that Back Borland is accessible by a farm track that may not be suitable for some vehicles with particularly low ground clearance e.g. sports cars etc.

We’re sorry, we are no longer able to accept dogs.

Nice relaxing weekend.
Very quiet and peaceful. Rosie offered us warm baking in our arrival which was very nice. Short journey to local facilities but far enough away to feel secluded. The road to the property from the main road is very bumpy though,but we were told about it before arrival.

Wunderbares Ferienhaus in wunderbarer Umgebung
Wir hatten eine tolle Woche in dem Ferienhaus südlich der kleinen Ortschaft Gartmore. Hat man erstmal die etwas rumpelige Anfahrt geschafft, erwartet einen ein gemütliches, liebevoll eingerichtetes Ferienhaus mit vier Schlaf- und drei Badezimmern, die zwar alle nicht sonderlich geräumig, aber mehr als nur zweckmäßig sind, sowie mit einem sensationell riesigen Ess-, Koch- und Wohnbereich. Besonderer Höhepunkt sind aber ein (dank Gegenströmungsanlage) "endloser" Swimmingpool und ein "Blubber"-Whirpool im Freien mit Blick auf die wunderschöne schottische Landschaft. Beide Pools muss man sich zwar mit dem anderen Ferienhaus teilen, was bei uns aber völlig problemlos geklappt hat. Die Gastgeberin Rosie ist unfassbar nett und herzlich. Ausflugsziele gibt es in der Umgebung in Hülle und Fülle - und zur Not sind Glasgow und Edinburgh auch nahe. Eine gute Einkaufsmöglichkeit gibt es im benachbarten Aberfoyle (etwa 15 Minuten mit dem Auto) und einen sehr guten Pub - sowie einem tollen Spielplatz - in Gartmore (etwa 10 Minuten mit dem Auto oder 30 Minuten zu Fuß). Am allerschönsten waren aber der gemütliche Tagesausklang im Whirpool, die Spaziergänge in der wunderschönen Natur und die gemeinsamen Abende im riesigen Hauptbereich dieses großartigen Ferienhauses.

Beautiful, cozy, scenic
Feels very secluded, but still in easy driving distance to great hiking, historic sites, Loch Lomond. Very quiet. Kids loved the pool. You will want to rent a car for sure, and they aren’t kidding about the access road, you’ll want a sturdy one. Cottage very well equipped with kitchen supplies and dishes. Very cozy sunroom. Hosts are friendly and knowledgable about the area.

Spring holiday
A warm welcome to a very warm property. Everything was just as we expected, but we did find the approach track difficult and a deterrent to going in and out more than once a day. Anyone with a particularly low car would have real problems. We were warned about it but did not realise just how bad it is! The open space living/dining area was bright and there was plenty of room for 8 people. The highlight for the young ones was the pool which was used at least twice a day, and the hot tub was lovely, Who'd have thought sitting out in the early April evening would be so comfortable and relaxing? It would be good to remind people to bring flip-flops or crocks to walk from the house. We drove to get fish suppers from Aberfoyle, but the outlet was closed - best to check in advance. The Black Bull is lovely. Thanks to the hosts for a really enjoyable family break.
