Welcome to our Pet Friendly Holiday Cottages in Port of Menteith, near Loch Lomond
Welcome to Cardross Holiday Homes where you can enjoy a holiday in our self catering cottages which are all on Cardross Estate, a mixed farming, forestry and sporting country estate dating back to the 16th Century. The Estate is situated on the fringe of the Scottish Highlands and the recently designated Loch Lomond National Park. Just to the north is the Lake of Menteith, the only LAKE as supposed to LOCH, in Scotland. Close by are the famous Trossachs, an area of outstanding natural beauty and closely associated with Rob Roy MacGregor and many exciting periods of Scottish History. Cardross Holiday Homes are ideally situated for visiting Scotland’s major cities, the Highlands and both coasts.
We offer self catering accommodation in 5 cottages:
Yew Tree Cottage: our only single storey house. Sleeping up to 4 people, with wonderful views to the Campsie Fells from the enclosed gardens.
Arnvicar Farmhouse: accommodates 6/8 people. Arnvicar is a farmhouse in an converted farm steading adjacent to Ash & Hawthorn with a games room available for all guests.
Ash & Hawthorn Cottages: Each sleep 4, they have been renovated to a high standard and can be combined for parties of up to 8. Arnvicar, Ash & Hawthorn are ideal for family groups who wish to holiday together but separately.
Gartur Bothy: At the end of a 2 mile lane that ends at Gartur so NO passing traffic. Here during the autumn and winter you can hear the wild geese roosting on the Lake of Menteith at night, and sometimes on misty mornings the geese can be heard feeding on the fields below the steading under the mist.
Our self-catering guests are all welcome to enjoy the estate amenities which include a Victorian Pinetum/ woodland walk, oak parklands and walking along or fishing on our own 3 miles stretch of the river Forth.
For the keen angler the well known Lake of Menteith Fishery is just down the road, the Nick Nairn Cook School is close by. For those interested in botany etc the estate borders Flanders Moss, one of the foremost raised bogs in Europe.
A car is essential to fully appreciate this area of Scotland. For visitors flying in cars can be hired from Edinburgh, Glasgow or Prestwick airports. Stirling Railway Station is within 30 Mins of the cottages & has good conncetions to Glasgow, Edinburgh & Perth.
