Craigview Gartmore House Estate, Stirlingshire

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. 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.

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 large holiday house appeals to all ages.
