Family Friendly Refurbished Detached Country Cottage set in Castle Grounds

Deep in the heart of leafy Buchanan Castle Estate, just outside the village of Drymen, Strathendrick House is a haven of peace and tranquillity. A vast garden, dominated by an enormous fir, and surrounded by mature trees and an orchard, ensure utter seclusion and privacy.
This prestigious property has been completely upgraded and modernized throughout the winter of 2017-18
In addition to the five charming bedrooms located upstairs, the house now comprises a spacious downstairs bedroom with en-suite, perfect for older family members or those with small children. The newly built state of the art kitchen, with its large island, the centrepiece for socializing and food prep, features a mix of solid wood units, stainless steel and granite. The kitchen adjoins the living area in a vast open plan space, further opening out through french doors onto the beautiful garden and private river. Al fresco dining at your fingertips! The property has three log-burning stoves dotted throughout the living areas and a cosy TV snug. There are three en-suites and 2 public bathrooms, one with a claw footed, Victorian style bath.
The house is tastefully decorated, in a mix of the traditional and modern, and feels much more like a home than a holiday property. There is private access to the stream at the bottom of the garden, trampolines and swings. Although suitable for families, friends, or larger groups, Strathendrick is also suitable for couples looking for a romantic and secluded break. Remember, it is first and foremost a comfortable family home.
The village of Drymen is charming. Local amenities include several fine pubs all serving traditional hot and cold food, a supermarket, a bank, a local butcher, a gallery, souvenir shop and a well-stocked library. There are a variety of events including ceilidhs, regular fairs and dances throughout the year. It is also ideally located for exploring the beauty of Loch Lomond, The Trossachs, and the gateway to the West Highlands.
Stirling, Edinburgh and Glasgow are all within easy reach.
We supply a complimentary Welcome Pack upon arrival consisting wine, shortbread, tea, coffee, sugar, milk, olive oil & salt & pepper. There is also a Cleaning Starter Pack provided containing all the essentials.

Fantastic
Spent two nights celebrating my 60th birthday with friends in this beautiful house. We received a very warm welcome from Heather who made sure we had everything we needed and was available should we have any questions during our stay. The bedrooms and living areas are very luxurious and comfortable. We loved the outside space too and made full use of the log burners. We would all love to return another time.

Spring in Scotland
The weather turned out better than we expected. We were able to enjoy the outside table and beautiful grounds on numerous days. The location was excellent and we all enjoyed walking the trails to Drymen. The surrounding towns were spectacular as were all the people we met.

Wished we could have stayed longer
What an amazing, beautiful, and comfortable home. Our family of 7 only spent 2 nights at this fantastic property, but we lived every minute. The caretakers were so helpful and kind, giving lots of great local info that helped us make the most of our short visit. The layout of the house was perfect for our group - lots of space for the cooks to converse with the others without getting in anyone's way. We loved the abundance of high quality cookware, dishes, utensils, and bar ware. The bedrooms were so spacious and comfortable with lovely furnishings and great showers. Not a single complaint from anyone in our group. The grounds are particularly lovely - so nice to have coffee on the patio with the birds chirping and flowers blooming. I whole heartedly recommend this lively property. The next time we visit this area, we will definitely stay here again, but for much longer.

Wonderful retreat in the country
This property is located in a quiet secluded neighborhood but within walking distance to Drymen. A creek runs through the front yard and the house is spacious with plenty of room for relaxing. We spent time exploring the Loch Lomond area as well as just having some downtime to read and spend time as a family. A great property if you are wanting a nice quiet retreat.
