Riverside House

My wife and I road tripped around Scotland for our Honeymoon and Callander was our favourite stop largely because of this lovely BnB. Our hosts were incredibly personable and their home was so lovely and comfy to stay in. We will definitely be back on our next trip!

From the moment we walked in the door of this bed and breakfast, we received a warm welcome, help with our luggage, and a comfortable room with a delightful view of the river! (and some homemade shortbread!) We would love to return for a longer stay!

Friendly hosts but we were underwhelmed by certain aspects of what was provided. The mattress seemed of budget quality as did the flat pillows. The bedside tables felt sticky to the touch, and the grouting in the shower was overdue a clean. Our breakfast table, covered by a plastic tablecloth, was sticky and the sausages tasted bland. The salt & pepper shakers though pretty, we're in need of a good wash.

My wife and I are happy to recommend Riverside House. We were made to feel very welcome and the hosts went out of their way to make the stay comfortable. The room was top quality and had a lovely view of the river and the garden. We would very happily stay there again.

Lovely large room, sparkling clean, friendly helpful hosts, delicious fresh cooked breakfast to order, small establishment so personal service and “homey” experience but with our privacy. Modern bathroom and shower. Lovely view out window! Quiet spot, we had a great nights sleep! Thank you Brian and Valerie, it was wonderful to stay as guests at your house!

We had the pleasure of staying here for an overnight. We don’t usually like B&B’s but this is very much an exception. The owners, Brian and Val, are absolutely lovely, friendly and accommodating, and made us feel so very welcome. Breakfast was delicious, with fresh homemade pancakes 😋. We also had homemade shortbread in our room along with water, tea, coffee and hot chocolate. There was free wifi and ample parking. Our room was lovely, clean and spacious, with the added bonus of a balcony which is great for reading or enjoying the gorgeous, peaceful river view with a chilled glass of wine (there’s a min fridge in the room). The house is a short walk from the town centre which has some nice shops and cafes. We have stayed in Callander a few times over the years in various hotels, but this B&B really is a hidden gem and is definitely worth a visit. We would love to have stayed longer and will definitely return.
