Fois House

What a lovely place :-) The cottage itself is really nice, comfortable with plenty of room.

Sitting on the porch just watching the birds on the feeders is wonderful even when it's raining. It is such a peaceful area with walks right from the doorstep. Whatever you are looking for, cycling, climbing, water sports are all within easy reach not to mention the amazing scenery. The lovely town of Calendar is nearby for all your needs including pubs and places to eat. We particularly enjoyed the Riverside Inn with nice food with the river right at the back door. We are already hoping to be back soon :-)

Hello sue thanks for a very nice stay at fois house cottage is well.

Kitted out with everything you need for a happy holiday there is plenty of walks and bike rides had great time watching all the birds and squrrials would return again thanks again

Beautiful cottage amazing location.

Everything done to create a great holiday. Bird tables topped up was great as we saw all kinds of birds including a woodpecker.

Fabulous house in a truly stunning location.

Spotlessly clean, comfortable and very well equipped. So much to do in the area but the weather wasn't great so we hope to return. Perfect peace and quiet......would highly recommend to all.

A lovely house in the forest!

We loved watching all the birds at the feeders. The birds ate all my bird seed, so stock up! Sue the owner had filled these up before we arrived. Cosy house and walks straight from the door. We sat out on the balcony and didn't want to move. Trossachs is a beautiful area and we will return to Fois House in the near future!

Fois House was beautifully peaceful, set in lovely grounds overlooking lots of trees and shrubs, with busy bird feeders to watch the birds tuck into whilst sitting on the balcony for our meals.

The property was well equipped with everything we needed for the week and it was well positioned for exploring Sterling, Loch Lomond and beyond. The weather wasn’t overly kind to us but that’s all part of being in Scotland and didn’t impact our plans as we were well prepared come rain or shine. Thank you for a lovely week!

We really enjoyed our stay at Fois House as it was a lovely setting with lots of walks nearby, Sue was also really helpful who owns the cottage and gave us plenty of recommendations of things to do ☺️ Would definitely love to stay again and would highly recommend for a family or couples etc.

Beautiful location pure peace and tranquility.

Lots of birds and greenery. The house itself we could not fault very clean and comfortable and has everything that you need for a home from home holiday. We did not want to come home, we thoroughly enjoyed this stunning part of Scotland just stunning….

I found the perfect cottage to enjoy my holidays and explore the area.

After long days out I appreciated the shower, sitting on the veranda and finally sleeping in the double bed. One of the best beds I ever slept during my 38 holidays in scotland. Thank you for an outstanding week

Fois House is a lovely cottage at the end of a single track road in Brig O Turk in the Trossachs.

The location means it is very peaceful, but it is also very central for local attractions such as Callandar, Stirling, the Trossachs Trail and the boats on Loch Katrine. We also stumbled on a beautiful Japanese Garden in the village of Dollar, just west of Stirling. The cottage is well equipped, clean and comfortable and the owner, Sue, although not living nearby, was very helpful with a small query we had.

We had a lovely stay, weather was perfect and the house amazing.

The proximity to walks and the lochs was great. Waking up to the birds in the morning was a wonderful start to the day. Hope to return at some point. Thank you.

Perfectly located for great walks and peace and quiet

Absolutely fantastic property in a great location.

The property was clean, comfortable and well provisioned. We had a very quiet and relaxing Christmas break in what is one of the most beautiful parts of Scotland. The enclosed garden was ideal for containing our slightly adventurous German Shorthair Pointer and we didn't have to worry about him disappearing off chasing the red deer. The dog also greatly enjoyed sprawling out in front of the fire after being walked along the multitude of great paths that you can access directly from the house. Brilliant property, will look to visit again in the future.

We spent a lovely Autumnal week at Fois House.

It’s perfectly located for trips to the Lochs or Stirling, and evenings spent around the cosy wood burner helped us to really unwind. The cottage now has wifi and we were able to connect to Netflix via the tv box. Already booked again for next year!

Very well appointed property, in a stunning location.

Would have definitely given 5 stars if it had wifi.

Otherwise a fantastic stay.

Excellent location, well maintained and good facilities.

Would give a five star if there was better internet reception.

Was a well maintained property, well equipped for our arrival.

Initially we got lost en route as lost phone and Internet signal (not the owners fault at all, the info to follow was clear enough). Very pleased when we arrived. Although we brought a Border Terrier and he could easily negate the gate escape. Larger dog would get stuck. No problem as we brought a long lead (he likes to watch outside when we weren't out and about). Showers are good, one single base noted to owner in maintenance but other than that, rooms are comfortable. A little warm, fan came in handy. Maybe a long mirror in hallway upstairs or one room would be a good addition. (Weather was fabulous and made for sitting on the decking). Comfortable lounge and a huge kitchen dining space with a comfortable sofa too. Don't want to say more as it was a hidden gem. Thank you Sue ❤

needs to update the directions as there is no green shed on the single track road.

Had to go back to the map at the village hall to locate property. Well worth the small inconvenience though. This is one property I will be returning too.

This is a very nice cottage in a lovely situation.

Fortunately we had good weather. We had never been to the area before and thoroughly enjoyed it.

What a lovely little cottage, had everything we needed even though the WiFi was limited but we didn’t mind as it was the relaxing holiday well needed!

Loch Lomond was lovely little village Luss! Plenty of walks some attractions where closed due to time of year! The Chinese in Callander was really nice but get takeaway as it doubles in price to sit and eat!

Fantastic stay great space with quality kitchen and showers.

Only down side is lack of mobile signal, no WiFi but we knew that and it’s a true getaway!

What a beautiful house.

Tastefully furnished and everything we needed. I’m not a walker due to my health but the tranquillity and comfort made this an ideal relaxing break. I loved watching (and trying to name) the various birds who chose to visit the veranda. I loved the intense colours of the countryside. A great holiday and not too far to Callander which had everything we needed. I’m definitely going back

Amazing!

Not much more I can say. High standard,spotless and a fantastic location. Loved it.

Fois House was perfect for us.

It was spacious and very comfortable, a real home from home. It was beautifully clean and we loved both indoor and outdoor spaces. We struggled to connect to the Wi-Fi but in the end I think this added to the charm as we could ‘switch off’. The surroundings were beautiful, lots of interest and walks from the front door. The owner was quick to respond to messages prior to our arrival and was very friendly. A great holiday in a great location- thank you!

A lovely holiday home in a great location, spacious, and well equipped with everything you would expect in your kitchen at home.

It would have been good to have WiFi, but we weren't expecting any so can't complain.

Absolutely loved this property especially sleeping with the windows wide open and only hearing a beautiful waterfall in the distance, no traffic just nature.

There is no Wifi which is advertised but that turned out to be a massive positive. How often does anyone actually turn off and read a book? Our 17 year old spent most evenings curled up laughing with us, that would never have happened with her phone glued to her hand. We all had chance to log on and look at places of interest during the day when out and about. Would defo brave the 9 hours car journey and return one day.

We had a lovely break at Fois House.

The house is very well kept and is stocked with all you could ever need! Sue really has thought of everything and is a lovely lady! The location is so peaceful and set in beautiful surroundings. When we stayed the temperature was unusually high for Scotland so we did struggle to keep the house cool without letting in lots of insects/flies/midges but there is a fan in the bedroom. When sitting at night we would open the sliding doors but keep the curtains closed to try and limit the number of tiny visitors! We loved having the washing machine aswell, so you don't need to take a whole week's worth of clothes! We loved the house, honestly can't think of any negatives- thankyou Sue!

A lovely cottage in a fabulous place.

The owner was very helpful and friendly, the cottage had everything we needed, the bed was comfortable and the showers good. The fence was sturdy and contained our dogs (a rescue Labrador and a Westie) perfectly well. There was great walking from the door in the Woodland Trust's Glen Finglas estate and further afield, both for a bit of a toodle under the trees in hot weather and for longer walks. A great holiday.

Fabulous holiday home, comfy, warm and well equipped, that said it could benefit from a new picnic table or comfy outdoor seating for four.

Park the car and have a week of soaking up nature with wonderful walks from your doorstep. Stunning countryside.

It was noticed that there were a number of crockery items with chips in same.

This is a truly lovely cottage, very well equipped, and maintained to a high standard.

It is situated in the peaceful hamlet of Brig O'Turk, with walks close by and abundant wildlife. This is a gem of a cottage hidden in the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park - Highly reccomended.

Very clean, spacious and welcoming, the area is surrounded by woodland, was peaceful and great for walks.

Wifi issues are ongoing which the owners are aware of and trying to rectify. I would 100 percent recommend and try to book again when next in the area

Had a lovely stay at Fois House, clean , modern, peaceful, and a safe garden for the dog.

A great base to explore the area and loved watching the wild birds around the bird tables. A short stroll up the lane to the dam was very impressive, as was the drive out to Glen Coe. Already recommended to a friend who has booked for next year and looking to return in the summer when a few more attractions are open. Five stars for the property and surrounding area and many thanks to the owner.

Just what we needed!

A lovely cosy modern cottage with lots of walking routes on our doorstep. It was great to have a detox from our phones for the week. Being out of season (January), we knew that some places such as the commended tearoom in Brig o' Turk would be shut but just something for you to bear in mind. So much to love about this place: the fireplace, underfloor heating, powerful showers, comfy king-size bed, and a lovely view out to the trees and birds. Sue kindly provided a high chair and cot for our little one. Honestly, nothing to fault!

Absolutely loved this cottage.

Had everything you needed for a comfortable stay plus with the added extras from the owner which was thoughtful. Very clean and cosy and the bonus of a secure garden for the dog was so welcoming. Even down to the bird feeders so we could look and watch the birds was fabulous. Had the best week staying and would definitely recommend and go back in an instant.

Absolutely stunning holiday cottage in the perfect location.

Fois House is out of this world with comfort and mod cons and had everything from coffee to all household condiments. Log fire at night was tranquil. If you looking for ***** star luxury and comfort this is the place for you. Owner was wonderful thank you. We will return for our stunning walks and drives next year. Many thanks for having us.

Lovely accommodation so peaceful, plenty of walks in area.

Fois house really hit the mark and it’s presentation is a credit to its owner,

A super home.

Perfect for us as walkers with a dog. Would recommend if you want a holiday away from it all.

A beautiful house and location for exploring the area and our family and small dog had a great time!

Bright, modern and we loved the balcony for a morning cuppa or evening beer. The Wednesday quiz at the tea room was good fun. Nothing to fault the owner for and would definitely stay again. Not so happy with the info on the Sykes listing and subsequently received via chat. The listing says there is no washing machine...but there is! As a result we brought extra clothes that took up space in our overloaded car which could have been avoided if the listing was more accurate. Please attend to this Sykes, especially to your chat team when asked to double-check. Thanks.

Stayed here 3 times now and won't be the last, it's a hidden gem, very well equipped and cosy property, fantastic walking routes right on the doorway, and plenty of room in the lovely garden for dogs to explore

2nd time at Fois.

Such a well placed & well equipped, comfortable, cosy house. Thoughly Enjoyed my 2nd time there. Met owner this time. Seems to be a very pleasant, caring lady

Lovely property.

Everything that you would need for a break was included. Excellent walks right from the door.

Great cottage and location.

Would definitely visit again.

Really lovely stay.

Everything was provided for us to enjoy our time in this beautiful area, the birds feeders were an added bonus and we enjoyed watching all the activity, including the deer who obviously comes in for the far balls.

We had a great time holidaying at Fois House.

The house is lovely & modern in a lovely little village its surrounded with beautiful countryside hills, mountains & wild flowers absolutely fabulous it's our second time here & we'll be back.

Fabulous house, spotless, well equipped and in a great location.

Very relaxing holiday.

We had a really lovely stay at Fois House, which is actually quite a bit bigger than some of the images suggest.

The property was very well equipped and perfectly clean. The location was beautiful, with plenty of walks around and a pub just down the road (although it was mostly closed while we were there). Lots of bird life (owners had filled the feeders) and the garden was secure enough to let dogs out without worry. Downstairs shower room really handy, especially if you have dogs. Showers were also very powerful. Beds very comfy. Overall I would definitely recommend Fois house to anyone and would like to stay again. Only a couple of small downsides. First was the lack of WiFi or cell reception (our fault, the owner does notify of this on the listing). We're all for disconnecting but it's actually quite hard to plan walks, days out etc without using the internet (I use OS MAPS app, for example). Also, on rainy days, of which there are a lot in Scotland, it's helpful to have internet for entertainment purposes (Netflix et al) – and the property didn't have a huge selection of books or DVDs (we actually bought some from a charity shop in Callander to add to their stocks!). They did have some good board games though. I believe owners are working to rectify WiFi issue. Generally we found there was not enough hot water in the tank for four adults to have showers consecutively, so two of us usually had showers in the evenings, which is fine. Finally, when we arrived the house was extremely cold, but once we had the fire going and heating up it was ok. Can't fault their eco credentials on these last two points though, and owners used eco-friendly cleaning materials which was great.

We enjoyed our stay here.

The small touches around the property were lovely: cookbooks, milk in the fridge, homemade flapjack, spices and herbs, books, games, and so many cleaning products! It took us a while to work out how to keep the fire alight - once we found the instructions we were warm! The location was perfect for us, tranquil and light. There were a few minor issues though: 1. There were stains on our bedsheets - not nice to sleep on 2. The towels were rather lacking: in variety of sizes and softness 3. I can understand why post it notes were placed around the property but we did feel rather 'watched' by these, so we took them down! 4. The vacuum was blocked - we fixed this. These are minor points and will not stop us coming back again - we plan to book for next year.

A lovely clean and tidy holiday home with everything you need for a relaxing holiday.

We were absolutely delighted with the cottage and the lovely walks from the door and in the surrounding area.

The location is nice and tranquil, but still with good connection to the Loch Kathrin area.

The only downside to us was the internet connection. At the time we made our booking, it was not as clear as it is now, that there is no internet (there is a weak WiFi signal [as well as 3G to 4G] on the balcony, but none inside). On the plus side, there is a washing maschine that is not listed.

Absolutely fantastic stay in Fois house.

Beautiful house & a wonderful situ. Would love to go back asap. Great base to explore surrounding area. Very comfortable & upto date accommodation. Loved every minute of staying there.

Fois House is fantastic, clean and comfortable with everything you need.

Location is perfect for exploring the Trossachs and Loch Lomond, the area is beautiful. Would highly recommend a holiday here.

Fois cottage is one of the best cottages we have stayed in.

The location was brilliant great walks straight from the door. The cottage was so warm we did not even put the log burner on. Ben Ledi and Ben Venue great mountains to climb and only a short drive from the cottage. We will definately be back.

A great quiet retreat.

There were some lovely touches, like home baked flapjacks and the bird feeders which kept the garden full of wildlife for us to watch.

Covid-19 restrictions meant that the local pub/restaurant was closed, which was very disappointing as there aren't really any alternatives. We struggled with the slow, feeble Wifi which was only accessed out on the veranda!

Fois House is in a really quiet idyllic location, and there are lots of walks and circular bike rides (on and off road) straight from the property.

Its a fantastic house with a modern open layout yet a very homely feel. With the underfloor heating and log fire I bet its great in winter too! We will definitely be back.

Best cottage I’ve ever stayed in and so many activities in the local area.

Wonderful.

House was beyond expectations Area was beautiful owners were marvellous

The accommodation was perfect, exactly what we wanted and very clean with great facilities.

What wasn't very accommodating was the customer service from Sykes. I understand it was an unusual experience with our flights being cancelled due to Flybe going adminstration but my options for potentially adjusting my booking were very limited and were placed under a end of the day deadline, which was very stressful on top of already trying to seek alternative transport. Sykes said no refund was available, only that we could change our dates once and once only. The issue was that we had no idea when we would reschedule our booking for as who knows when a different airline would pick up the Southampton to Glasgow route in place of Flybe. We had no choice but to keep our booking with very little support from Sykes. I don't blame the cottage owner at all as she seemed more than accommodating and understanding when we met. However I shall not be booking with Sykes again in the future.

The house was stunning , high end , and home from home .

lovely bed linen , spotless clean , well maintained and fully stocked with everything you need . Also loved all the eco range cleaning products , and attention to detail. can highly recommend the house for peace and quiet and a perfect family or couples getaway .

Cottage was great - enjoyed our week - beware that the pub may not always be open when it says it is !

If you go to Callander try the Crown Hotel - excellent food & drink.

The house itself is amazing.

I would have to say though that the images, suggesting it is near a loch are quite misleading as it is mikes from the nearest loch. I would suggest that it requires better mirrors in bathrooms - one is too high and the other is too small. I would however say that we still had a very enjoyable break.

Warm cosy cottage in a great area, with good places to eat not too far away.

The Trossachs are a great location to visit with a great range of walks.

Fois house is one of the nicest holiday homes we have stayed in surrounded by beautiful scenery.

WiFi would be beneficial to this property, as phone signal isn’t the best when stay here.

Location excellent for walks, plenty from the cottage and also many within a few miles drive.

A nice level of finish, very clean. Great that some basic things like spices, oil, sugar, tea were in the cupboard and a pint of milk was very welcome as nearest shop is about 8 miles away.

Beautiful cottage everything you could possibly need plus extras not expected lots of walks near by and a bonus was good weather

A lovely cottage fully equipped with what you would expect and more A great position for both visiting places of interest and with walking on the doorstep A nice touch from the owners with cake and flowers in the property on arrival Thanks for helping us all having a lovely holiday

Outstanding location with simply stunning scenery.

So many walks and cycle tracks on your doorstep. Super comfy house with soothing log burner. The flapjack on arrival is the best I've ever tasted. Enjoy:)
