Location is what we expected as we have stayed in Callander many times over the last 12 years.

A good hotel-standard bedroom fir a hostel price. The staff were friendly but they were only present until 6pm ish and from about 8.30 am.

Trekker United Kingdom

Warm and well stocked pod. Quiet and peaceful. Good view. Secure storage for our bikes. Fridge and kettle. It was a Saturday so I was pleased that we didn't have a minimum two night booking.
