About this cottage rental

Deep in the heart of leafy Buchanan Castle Estate, just outside the village of Drymen, Strathendrick House is a haven of peace and tranquillity. A vast garden, dominated by an enormous fir, and surrounded by mature trees and an orchard, ensure utter seclusion and privacy.
This prestigious property has been completely upgraded and modernized throughout the winter of 2017-18
In addition to the four charming bedrooms located upstairs, the house now comprises a spacious downstairs bedroom with en-suite, perfect for older family members or those with small children. (direct access from parking area)The newly built state of the art kitchen, with its large island, the centrepiece for socializing and food prep, features a mix of solid wood units, stainless steel and granite. The kitchen adjoins the living area in a vast open plan space, further opening out through french doors onto the beautiful garden and private river. Al fresco dining at your fingertips! The property has three log-burning stoves dotted throughout the living areas and a cosy TV snug. There are three en-suites and 2 public bathrooms, one with a claw footed, Victorian style bath.
The house is tastefully decorated, in a mix of the traditional and modern, and feels like a home from home. There is private access to the stream at the bottom of the garden, trampolines and swings. Although suitable for families, friends, or larger groups, Strathendrick is also suitable for couples / smaller groups looking for a romantic or secluded break. Remember, it is first and foremost a comfortable family home.
The village of Drymen is charming. Local amenities include several fine pubs all serving traditional hot and cold food, a supermarket, a bank, a local butcher, a gallery, souvenir shop and a well-stocked library. There are a variety of events including ceilidhs, regular fairs and dances throughout the year. It is also ideally located for exploring the beauty of Loch Lomond, The Trossachs, and the gateway to the West Highlands.
Stirling, Edinburgh and Glasgow are all within easy reach.
We supply a complimentary Welcome Pack upon arrival consisting wine, shortbread, tea, coffee, sugar etc. There is also a Cleaning Starter Pack provided containing all the essentials.

    Beautifully decorated house in a quiet location. Thoroughly enjoyed the short, scenic walk to Drymen for the restaurants and market. Our young adult children enjoyed a few bounces on the trampoline. Check in and out went smoothly. We really enjoyed staying in this spacious home.

    We comprised a group of 6 adults and 3 young children and this house was ideal. It has lots of space, big common areas and a fabulous kitchen for cooking in. The children loved the fact that there are two staircases! The bedrooms are plentiful and comfortable with nice bedding. There are plenty of bathrooms too. The house is tastefully decorated and furnished.Our vacation was in February 2025 so not great weather but that didn't spoil our trip; there are plenty of nearby activities. Heather & Hector, who manage the house, were very helpful and communicated regularly. The whole holiday was just great and we all left thinking we'd like to go back.

    We had a wonderful, relaxing time at this beautiful house which is in a picturesque, peaceful setting and was perfect for our family gathering. We found the bedrooms really comfortable and we enjoyed spending time together in the main open plan space, and sitting out in the gardens too. The location was great for walking and exploring, with amenities close by it wasn’t at all far from beautiful Loch Lomond. We hope to stay again.

    Two families (9 total with 5 being children) stayed very comfortably in this home. The home was incredibly inviting. Everyone had great space for bedrooms and bathrooms. Our children enjoyed the yard and stream tremendously - they didn't want to leave. We thoroughly enjoyed the short walk into Drymen, and took several day trips to nearby locations. Even Edinbourgh and Glenn Coe were quite accessible, each for a day. We highly recommend this property for a quiet, beautiful retreat for families or couples to get away. We all hope to return again!
