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

The Steading 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.

Notes on accommodation:
Accessed by a rough farm track; please note that vehicles with a low ground clearance may struggle.

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

Such a lovely cottage with great view! Property managers were really nice and easy to talk to, and left an easy to read booklet on the facilities in and around the cottage. Would love to stay again :)

We loved the peace and quiet in the countryside. There was a lovely welcoming bottle of prosecco and flapjacks on arrival and our hosts were welcoming and accommodating. The property is lovely and cosy and warm. The pool and hot tub were great fun. We travelled to Loch Lomond for lunches and walking and discovered places we hadn't been to before. The road up is very rough with one bump just a little too high and caught caught the underside of the water tank on our van.

Beautiful stay in a magical place!!
We stayed for 3 nights over xmas in this lovely cottage. It was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. The wood fire in the winter was toasty warm and atmospheric, and it was an added experience to indulge in the hot tub! The hosts were so accommodating and friendly and we feel so lucky to have experienced this beautiful corner of scotland!

Short winter break
Ideal location for a peaceful break. View of Ben Ledi from Hot tube was lovely. Perpetual pool was good exercise (if you want it). Host Rosie and Dave were really lovely hosts. Several walks from Gartmore, with the local pub food at the end.

Great secluded getaway with pool & jacuzzi...
Lovely hosts who were so helpful. Location is ideal for exploring the Trossachs that were showing fabulous autumn colours. Great cycling in the area, we really enjoyed the off road tracks and especially the area of Duke's Pass and Loch Katrine. Property is warm and the pool and jacuzzi are a real bonus after a day on the bike. Thank you for a really enjoyable time.

Splendid isolation close to home
Perfect! Wife and I wanted to get away from it all for a few days and that's exactly what we did. No need to travel to the extremes of the country, really not far away if you live in the Central Belt (of Scotland). Property in excellent order; very comfortable and exceptionally clean.

Lovely location, friendly owners.
Overall a good experience, lovely festive stay, made use of hot tub and the glorious views. Some minor attention to cooker, and system for getting kindlers and firewood would be good, but generally speaking it was a lovely stay.
