    What a wonderful place in a great part of Scotland. Irene and Jim couldn't have been more helpful. Great communication before we arrived. The property is exceptionally clean and well equipped. Couldn't have asked for more.

    Being picky but a washing machine might be a good addition.

    We received a very warm welcome from Irene when we arrived. The kitchen and bathroom was well stocked and the charge point was very useful after travelling from Fort William. Well situated for Loch Lomond, the Trossachs, lake Menteith but also Stirling and Edinburgh. Relaxing lounge upstairs where we watched the sheep in a nearby field. We also loved the caramel wafers!

    I loved everything about the Newton Bothy.

    Beautiful settings. Very peaceful, just what we needed. Gorgeous house - very clean. Views were exceptional from the upstairs floor where you can sit in the lovely rocking chairs and watch the day go by. The house was well stocked with cutlery, drinking glasses, mugs, plates etc. Hosts are very welcoming. We went a walk around the area and it was nice to be out in the countryside and look at all the wee lambs in the fields. Callander and Aberfoyle are close-by, by bike or car. Lovely restaurants close-by, we went to Nick Nairn's restaurant in Port of Monteith and it was lovely. The Lion and Unicorn in Thornhill is also a nice place to visit for food or a drink. We will be back as we really did enjoy getting away from the city.

    Wow!! We had an amazing stay. The bothy was so well presented and everything was spotless. The bedroom is so comfortable, the shower is amazing, the kitchen has everything you need (and importantly was well stocked with tea, coffee, and even fresh milk!) and the upstairs area was incredible. My partner and I loved the comfy chairs looking out the big window. The hosts were very welcoming coming to say hello and making space in their shed for our bikes. Good location for outdoors adventures being close to Aberfoyle, Callander & surrounding area. 10/10 stay nothing negative at all to say.

    Location was lovely and quiet, but also convenient for Stirling, Aberfoyle and Callander. Irene and Jim were brilliant hosts and had taken time to think about how to make the Bothy "a home from home" and made us feel very welcomed. The electric car charger was also very useful.
