Poppies Hotel - Callander, United Kingdom 3 star hotel

Address: Leny Road, Callander, FK178AL
Poppies Hotel details:  Located in the charming town of Callander, in close proximity to numerous historical attractions and rambling routes, this rustic and comfortable hotel is ideal for lovers of the great outdoors.

The hotel is nestled in the heart of the Trossachs, the only National Park in Scotland, in a peaceful area, away from the hustle and bustle and yet only an hour’s drive from Glasgow centre and the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre. Spend long days walking in the countryside, touring the surrounding castles or fishing for sea trout and salmon in the challenging nearby rivers, before enjoying a welcome break and sampling the whiskey at the Glenturret Distillery. You could also make use of the hotel’s fantastic conference and team-building facilities if you are travelling on business.

In the evenings, you can curl up by one of the roaring fireplaces, surrounded by antique artifacts and fresh flowers, or enjoy a meal at the hotel’s elegant restaurant.


Savour informal dining at its best at the hotel’s restaurant, with its varied cuisine complemented by a selection of fine wines. It is also possible to enjoy freshly-prepared snacks in the hotel lounge and conservatory.

After a busy day, unwind with a beer or coffee at the hotel’s bar, which is popular with local students and professionals alike.

The hotel's ample restaurant, which can accommodate up to 40 guests, can be used for conferences between 10.30 and 17.30. The daily delegate rate is £25 and room hire is £120 only.

Location

The Trossachs is a land of shimmering lochs and craggy peaks, where the Highlands meet the Lowlands. Along with its rather worthy neighbour Loch Lomond, The Trossachs have recently been elevated to National Park status, making Callander a travel and hospitality ‘hot spot’ for discerning travellers. Callander itself is home to the vibrant Jazz and Blues Festival and the World Highland Games.

Loch Katrine (9 km/ 5.5 miles) - one can sail on the S.S.Sir Walter Scott Steamship amidst the peaceful hills and Bens. The subject of Sir Walter Scott’s highly acclaimed novel, Lady of the Lake.

Visit Stirling Castle and Wallace Monument (18 km/ 11.1 miles) for historic importance.

The Blair Drummond Safari Park (10 km/ 6.2 miles) - one of the country's largest parks of its kind with numerous facilities for all the family.

Loch Lomond can be reached in approximately 40 minutes (30 km/ 18.6 miles), where you can enjoy the magnificent scenery along the "bonnie banks".

On our short trip through Scotland, this was our last stay before taking the ferry back to The Netherlands. We've stayed at a lot of hotels before and this is one of the best ones! We stayed in room 2, at the third floor. A nicely decorated room, with everything we needed. The only drawback was the noisy shower... The food in the restaurant is very affordable and simply great! We had the "Early evening menu" for two nights and enjoyed it a lot. Friendly people and a warm welcome... A great end of a great holiday in Scotland!

My wife and I booked a 3 night stay over the Easter Weekend and loved it. The atmosphere of the place is very relaxed, and laid back but not at the expense of effciency. It's like there is always someone there if you need them but you don't really notice it - unobtrusive but efficient. As we intended to do some walking we requested a room with a bath to soothe away the aches, were allocated Room 7 at the far end of the house and it was quiet, attractive decor and a really comfy bed. We stayed ona B&B basis and the breakfast was really good - excellent selection of cold buffet food and cooked breakfasts to order. We also had dinner on 2 of the nights and the food was well prepared and presented and was generally very good although the fillet steak on the first night was slightly disappointing - it was so thick that it was too rare for me but for dedicated red meat eaters I am sure it would have been wonderful.There is an early evening menu which is really good value for money and the full dinner menu from 7pm which is more extensive in choice and pricier. The bar area is small but has that cosy feeling about it and a good selection of drinks available for this size of hotel. It is obvious that the owners work very hard and they succeed in providing a warm,relaxing atmosphere in very pleasant surroundings with excellent food thrown in.If that is the type of break you are looking for then we would highly recommend Poppies - we will certainly go back.
