    From the moment we were greeted at the front door to the moment we left we were made to feel extremely welcome, and encouraged to treat the place as though it were our home. The view from our bedroom was outstanding, and the breakfast the best we has throughout our entire trip around Scotland. I would not hesitate to recommend this lovely place and it's hosts.

    Not a bad word to say. I wouldn’t change a thing and could t have asked for anything else to make the stay any better!

    The owners went over and above to make the stay as accommodating as possible, including putting together a lovely breakfast for us to take with us on a early morning hike! They were wonderful, the room was immaculate and the bed was very comfy. Amazing views and lovely vibes all round! I would definitely stay again and would highly recommend

    A peaceful and perfect place to stay in the heart of the Trossachs

    The WiFi/router was VERY poor and is the only reason I marked down this B&B for any reason. The internet was useful for email and for reading websites, but I could not transmit photos or large files. it is imperative in this day and age for B&B's to have routers that permit photos to be transmitted.

    The location, hospitality, service, breakfast, comfort of the room were all excellent. They went out of their way to do the little and extra things such as my laundry, which was very welcome. Breakfast was particularly wonderful. Knowe House is also very conveniently located to visit locales in the region such as Stirling, the Wallace Monument, and Lochs Katrine and Lomond.

    Nothing, everything was great.

    Deon and Laura were great hosts; Deon showed us around, even offered to help bring our bags up: a first, thank you. The room was a good size, had everything including a fridge! Lovely bathroom. Nice view out the back. Breakfast was terrific, and we had a great view from our table across the town. Lots of information about what to do (good walks from the house) and where to eat. Good location, could walk to eateries. Wished we could have stayed longer. Thank you.

    The car park was on a slope which caused my wife a problem in opening her door, until I came round to pull it open myself. However, the on-street parking 10 metres from the driveway meant this was no problem at all.

    The twin room was very spacious, with marvellous views over Calendar, through the wide, high windows. Cleanliness of the facilities was first class. Breakfast was a superb choice of various cooked foods and self-service cereal with milk or fruit juice and chopped fruit to accompany it. The tea and coffee in abundance was delicious.

    This was one of the best places we stayed in during our Scotland visit. There was a nice table outside to sit outside and see the mountains. I highly recommend staying here. The hosts were so friendly and extremely accommodating. The breakfast was great and accommodated my vegetarian diet. The place was very clean.

    No complaints at all!

    Besides the comfortable room and delicious breakfast the hosts Deon and Laura went out of their way to help us when we had a flat tire on our way to their place. Deon spent an incredible amount of time trying to get things worked out for us so we could get on our way and for that we are eternally grateful. He took over all of the logistics and made us feel way less stressed. They are wonderful, can't say enough!
