    A beautiful cottage, with lovely attention to detail, and comfortable beds. I liked the extra touches, such as the fresh flowers, and milk left in the fridge. It was exceptionally clean as well, a lovely place to stay.

    It is about 8 minutes away from Falkirk, but an easy drive. I loved the quiet location...very peaceful. And I liked how the cows mooed us awake every morning! Really enjoyed the outdoor seating and the very modern kitchen with the clothes washer....

Property information

Wilson's Cottage is nestled within a working dairy farm and set in the heart of Callendar Estate, Falkirk. The cottage dates back nearly 200 years. Traditionally the cottage was home to farm workers however when the need was no longer required the decision to let other people enjoy the peaceful location was easy. Recently renovated and modernised, this bright, comfortable cottage occupies the entire ground floor of the original building (a separate, private property is located on the first floor of the building) and offers exceptional value for a break to Central Scotland. Its excellent location also means that you can easily travel further afield to explore all that that the area has to offer. A folding table and 4 chairs give you the option of having a small eating area in the lounge if you wish.

Neighbourhood information

Callendar Estate has a conveniently located trail hub within close walking distance where guests can enjoy 67km of paths including a network of waymarked cycle and walking trails, where you can explore mature woodlands and learn about Falkirk’s local history. Cycle hire is available from Greenrig Cycles and delicious food and refreshments from Café at Canada Wood. Wilson's Cottage is in an ideal location to explore the local area, one which combines both outstanding natural beauty with a unique local history. Within a short driving distance you will also be able to sample Scotland’s magnificent Highland scenery and hospitality before returning home to the comfort of your accommodation. Falkirk and the surrounding area are steeped in history. The historic Battle of Stirling Bridge in 1297, Battle of Bannockburn in 1314 and Battle of Sherriffmuir in 1715 all helped to shape the history of Scotland and these sites can easily be visited from our properties. Allow yourself to become absorbed by the atmosphere, whilst visiting the magnificent Stirling Castle, the Wallace Monument and The Battle of Bannockburn Experience, and then recharge your batteries in one of the many cafés, restaurants or pubs. Falkirk is also home to the world's only fully rotating boat lift, connecting the Forth and Clyde Canal with the Union Canal, and also is home to The Kelpies @ Helix Park - the largest Equine statues in the world! The surrounding countryside is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts: walking, cycling and paragliding are all on offer on the nearby Ochil Hills. Slightly further away are The Trossachs, Callander, Loch Lomond National Park, Glasgow and Edinburgh providing, therefore, the ideal central touring base for your holiday. Located within an hour's drive of Glasgow and Edinburgh International airports, the area has excellent motorway connections to the north and south. Wilson's Cottage is perfectly located for you to make the most of your holiday and sample some...
