My house is in a lovely location within Strathyre, has a warm homely feel to it and myself and my partner love to be here as much as possible. There are lots of local hill walks, cycle routes, rivers and Lochs around, also the large river Balvaig close by.
I am an easy going individual, my name is Ken and am happy to help and accommodate any visitors as is my partner Mandy.
The surrounding area is very quiet perfect for your relaxing stay, 5 minutes from village centre. It is only 20 minutes from bustling Callander and 30 minutes to Stirling. Nearby my house there are 3 local pubs who sell food & drink with a local shop for a selection of supplies.
