For a secluded self catering holiday in The Trossachs region of Scotland Gartnafuaran Farm Cottage offers accommodation on a small working farm set in 130 acres of beautiful Perthshire countryside, with 2 miles of trout river and magnificent views in every direction.

The four-star rated self-contained single-storey holiday cottage is attached to the main farmhouse and was originally a dairy. The buildings are stone-built and are several hundred years old.

The farm cottage accommodation is centrally-heated throughout and sleeps 4. There is a spacious, comfortably furnished sitting room with dining table, colour television and wood-burning stove and a fully-fitted, well-equipped kitchen with a washer/dryer, a microwave, a fridge/freezer and an electric cooker.

The kitchen door leads onto a secure private garden of which our guests have sole use. The lane immediately in front of the property forms part of the National Cycleway which runs between Killin and Callander in the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park.

Trout fishing is free on our stretch of the river Balvaig - two miles of brown trout fishing. (Fly, spinner or worm.) There are watersports, including waterskiing, kayaking, sailing and canoeing at nearby Lochearnhead, and several golf courses a short distance away. The setting of the golf course at St Fillans, at the eastern end of Loch Earn, is especially beautiful.

The dramatic view across the glen from Fartnafuaran Farm takes in Balquhidder Kirk, with the grave of the Scottish Folk hero Rob Roy MacGregor in the kirkyard, and Kirkton Glen beyond. The small Kirkton Glen affords beautiful walks along the burn and the waterfalls hehind the chuch and a path branches off to Creag an Turic, meeting place of the clans, which commands a panoramic view of Loch Voil and the whole of Balquhidder.

The small town of Callander lies a few miles to the south for groceries, provisions, shops and services. Within a short distance of your holiday home there is a range of inns, hotels and restaurants which offer meals and an opportunity to sample local food and drink, ranging from bar and bistro meals to gourmet food prepared by top chefs. Many use local produce in season, including venison, game, salmon , trout and a variety of local wild mushrooms.
