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.
Guests can expect to find a TV with a DVD player. Stretch out in the jetted tub. Other standard amenities include a kitchen, a washing machine, and a fireplace.

The Byre Farm Cottage

The Cottage served as a location to celebrate our son's 21st Birthday and provided everything we were looking for, access to nature, a peaceful environment and a homely cottage that sufficiently catered for all our needs. We especially enjoyed the space of the rooms, the comforting wood burner and accessibility of the hot tub. As with other reviewers, the access road can be a challenge without the right vehicle - but we were thankful for Rosie and Dave's generous help and support having received a hire car that wasn't quite fit for purpose :-)

Fantastic property in beautiful surroundings

Group of 7 adults for gravel biking long weekend. The Byre was perfect - lots of space, cosy fire, loved the conservatory where we could all hang out on the sofas. Kitchen well equipped. Cycling around nearby Aberfoyle is sublime.

Perfect spot to switch off

Got a lovely welcome from Rosie and Dave with a bottle of fizz and some delicious homemade flapjack. The house was perfect for what needed and made full use of the pool and hot tub. Only thing that I felt was missing was a hair dryer and some tongs for the kitchen. Will recommend to friends and may come back in the future.

Birthday celebrations at The Byre

We enjoyed a wonderful family week of birthday celebrations at The Byre. Rosie and Dave were the perfect hosts making sure we had everything we needed. In addition, it was a lovely surprise to receive homemade flapjacks and a bottle of prosecco on arrival. The location is so picturesque and peaceful and the accommodation was homely and ideal for 3 generations. Everyone (from age 14 to 80!) loved using the hot tub and pool everyday. This is a great location for exploring the stunning Trossachs. We will be back!

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.

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.

A good place to visit the trossachs

We had a wonderful stay in the Byre cottage. It was a cosy cottage with a spacious living area. My daughter loved the landing with rocking chair! There were 4 bedrooms (3 downstairs, 1 upstairs) so plenty of space for us to spread out. Rosie and Dave were lovely hosts and very friendly. The kids very much enjoyed having the use of the pool. The surrounding area is very quiet and we had a nice walk through the "Wee Wood" nearby. The track to the cottage feels quite long, especially the first time, but we took it slowly and our car was fine.

Very relaxing environment

A lovely property with great social space, helpful owner. Very much enjoyed the outdoor hot tub. The ground conditions around the property are tricky in bad weather (we had lots of rain), so future visitors should read the information provided by the owners, so they are aware of what to expect.

Beautiful House, Idyllic Surroundings

This is a beautiful property and the hosts were extremely helpful with every part of the booking and the stay. The hot tub and pool (with a wave machine!!) are a fantastic part of the property and my kids made full use of the pool. The house was cosy and homely and it was a lovely surprise to have flap jacks and a bottle of Prosecco on the table waiting for us. Everything was spotless and although you felt like it was the middle of nowhere, we were actually very close to Stirling and Loch Lomond and thus had the best of both worlds-peace and quiet as well as activities. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. I would definitely recommend the place to others.

5 Star welcoming host. Definitely Recommended

I have just enjoyed a 3 night weekend stay with 5 close friends. A great time was had by all, property was big enough far all to enjoy the space without feeling over crowded. Each couple had their own shower/toilet facilities. We each enjoyed the use of the pool area and hot tub. On the Saturday night we went to the local pub/ restaurant for dinner and a few drinks. Locals were very friendly and accommodating. Would highly recommend.
