Craigview is a large detached property
located in the grounds of a magnificent 18th century mansion house,
Gartmore House. It is situated in the middle of the Loch Lomond National
Park and offers a whole host of activities from your doorstep. Gartmore
House Estate has its own indoor football pitch and high ropes course -
not for the faint-hearted! Cycling, fishing and walking are very well
catered for with tracks for beginners and the more experienced alike
within the estate and further afield into the Trossachs.
There is a village pub in Gartmore, and a larger selection of shops,
cafes and restaurants in Aberfoyle.
In the wider area you can visit historic Stirling to see the Wallace
Monument or Stirling Castle, arguably on a par with Edinburgh Castle.
Glasgow and its fabulous architecture and world renowned shopping is
only 45 minutes away. Otherwise you could take a leisurely trip to Loch
Lomond or Loch Katrine and enjoy a day’s watersports, or walk or cycle
around the lochs, or take the paddle-steamer tour. The area is also well
known for its fabulous restaurants, with a number of high quality pubs
serving excellent food in the surrounding villages as well as Nick
Nairn’s famous cookery school about 10 minutes form Craigview at Port of
Menteith. There is a massive amount to do around Aberfoyle and this
superb holiday house appeals to all ages.
