The three award winning Trossachs Yurts are set in the orchard and woodland of West Moss-side Organic Farm. Just an hour or so from Glasgow and Edinburgh yet you will feel that you are right in the middle of nowhere. You will find seclusion and dark skies. The village of Thornhill is just over 1 mile away and has a shop and excellent pub/restuarant. Just 15 minutes from Callander and the Trossachs means there are walks, paddles, and cycle routes for the active guests and lovely coffee stops, cafes and resturants of all sorts. Plenty for the children too and indoor options for the days when the weather is not behaving. However, on those days you can curl up with a good book or a board game in front of the wood burning stove in the yurt. A wood burning stove and the felt wall linings keeps them cosy at all times of the holiday season, although they are not available in the winter. They are equally special for that get away from it all romanitic weekend or a place where the children will be enchanted as theyu explore the woodland, build dens, get lost (!) in the willow labyrinth, meet the Shetland cattle and calves and be really close to the wildlife. The yurt sleeps 4 adults in 2 double beds or a family of 5 where the fifth is a child on a floor mattress.
Stuc a'Chroin is fully accessible and Ben Lomond welcomes well behaved dogs.
