About this property

Large house on a working farm

Set in a very peaceful rural location just three miles from the shores of Loch Lomond on the edge of the Trossachs National Park, Collalis is a great holiday destination and a perfect base from which to explore this stunning part of Scotland with its many activities and attractions.
Wonderfully secluded down a long private driveway this delightful, large self-catering house comfortably sleeps up to 10 guests. The surrounding fields and beautiful views make it hard to believe that it is just 18 miles from the vibrant, cosmopolitan city of Glasgow.
Furnished to a high standard, Collalis is a charming holiday home which offers plenty of space to relax. The bright, full height hallway is kept invitingly warm by a wood-burning stove and the open fire in the elegant drawing room creates the perfect backdrop for gathering after an active day out and about. The archway between the well-equipped kitchen and dining room creates a large, sociable space ideal for memorable holiday dining. Doors lead out onto a pretty sun-trap terrace with garden seating and a barbeque, and just off the kitchen is a relaxing conservatory offering the perfect spot to unwind with a good book whatever the weather.
The two charming first floor ensuite bedrooms either side of the galleried landing command glorious views across farmland to the hills beyond, while the spacious master ensuite bedroom and two further twin bedrooms are conveniently located on the ground floor making this an ideal holiday retreat for all ages.

Collalis is surrounded by a glorious four acre garden boasting a tennis court - this is a fabulous space for all the family to enjoy. Long summer evenings bring beautiful sunsets over Ben Lomond.

Stunning and peaceful
This was a rare opportunity for my family to all get together and enjoy fun family time. The property is perfect for this. Large family outdoor and indoor areas to eat, play and relax. We spent our time doing a family olympics out in the garden, concerts, board games and tennis. It’s location is easy reach to beautiful Loch Lomond. Bedrooms and bathrooms clean and very comfortable. Honestly I didn’t want to leave, however take home some wonderful memories of our time there.

Magical place
What a magical place. The grounds were just wonderful. Great place to stay in rural Scotland and was an excellent jumping off spot for Loc Lomond and surrounding area. House was great and bedrooms comfortably slept 9 of us. We all, ages 4, 9, 12, 40’s and 70’s absolutely loved our stay!

Great house for a family get together.
Lovely views - we saw haré & deer in the near distance. Beautiful trees especially the ancient oak at the entrance. The house was very well equipped and comfortable and the tennis court was an added bonus altythexrain didn’t allow for many games.

Great house for a family get-together!
House was clean and well equipped and suited our extended family group well. Gardens were great and the tennis court was a real bonus! The location is pretty remote which suited us fine, but may not be for everyone.

Outstanding Property
Great owners who communicated well, property was absolutely lovely with fantastic views and the surrounding area was brilliant. Property had everything you would ever need and more. Only downside was that we didn’t book and stay longer.. Highly recommended and I would defiantly revisit this property.

Wonderful family home in the countryside
This property ticks all the boxes. It's huge and ideal for a large group. It was spotlessly clean. The bedrooms are spacious with comfortable beds. We loved spending time in the luxurious lounge with it's splendid views of countryside. The kitchen is well equipped and the large dining table allowed us to sit together and enjoy a home cooked meal. The tennis court was a hit with not only our younger family members but the older ones too. We would recommend the Clachan in Drymen for food, we had a late lunch and it was delicious and it's on a short drive from the property. We had a wonderful time and would love to return one day.

Great holiday
We all really enjoyed our holiday at Collalis. The house was so clean spacious and comfortable and the garden was huge. Our grandchildren loved the tennis court, playing rounders and doing mini olympics. The weather was warm and sunny and the Loch Lomond area is beautiful. A great holiday!

Lovely stay
We had a lovely 7 night stay. The owner was extremely helpful and contactable throughout. The kitchen is really well stocked for utensils, baking and cooking. The house is extremely spacious and the gardens are just spectacular. The kids really enjoyed exploring them and riding their bikes down the long drive. Seeing deer daily was an added bonus. Just watch for ticks on your dog. The area has lots to do too. Great holiday had by all the family.

Idyllic Country estate
We loved our stay and wished we could have stayed longer. We were lucky enough to enjoy perfect weather. The garden was a beautiful, huge space. The house was perfectly clean, with plenty of room for a large family and equipped with everything you could need for a comfortable stay. Our kids loved it — plenty of games, toys and areas to explore to keep them occupied and happy. We were excited to glimpse “hairy coos” on the drive out to this very private getaway.

Great place to stay in Alexandria!
Booked this amazing home for a family trip to introduce our grandson to his family outside of Glasgow. The house was in a beautiful country side area and was able to accommodate all 10 of us and then all 19 of us for a family get together. We had plenty of space and all the comforts of home. The beds were especially comfortable for a great nights sleep. We were able to explore and visit with family members all around the area. Lots to see and do all within driving distance also. Would definitely recommend this lovely home and would love to stay here again! Thanks for an amazing experience for our Scotland trip!

Idyllic surroundings, spacious and well equipped house
Perfect for a family gathering (5 adults, 5 children). A wonderful country setting with beautiful views to Ben Lomond. The children, aged two to eight, loved the freedom of exploring the extensive grounds, while the adults enjoyed tennis, swing ball and croquet. A barbeque was enjoyed by all. The house had everything - and more - that we could possibly want. We'll be back . . . .

Very nice location, excellent amenities and well maintained property. The only downside was delay in getting hot water in downstairs bathrooms but this did not spoil a wonderful experience.

Why they chose this property

Designed and built round having a family, this property is very family friendly with its own tennis court and large gardens. Set in a very peaceful rural location it has its own wildlife to watch. With stunning views of Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park yet only half an hour from Glasgow it is very centrally located for day trips across the central belt of Scotland.

What makes this property unique

The open fire is lovely and cosy at night after a days walking or sight seeing. Possibility of seeing the Northern Lights in the winter and amazing stars at night to amazing summer sunsets across the mountains all can be viewed from the garden.
