Fordhead Farm overlooks the Fords of Frew on the River Forth, some nine miles west of Stirling in Central Scotland and offers three lovely holiday cottages in the midst of some of the finest countryside and scenery in Scotland.
Located within a peaceful setting and with the private use of the large hot tub, situated in its own private cabin (available on request), Fordhead Farm provides plenty of opportunity to relax. Here you can stroll along the riverbank, or wander through the recently planted Scottish native woodland and enjoy the varied bird and wildlife.
The pretty village of Kippen is just a mile away from the farm and offers historic buildings and lovely traditional pubs and restaurants. Also within easy reach are Stirling, Glasgow, Edinburgh and The Trossachs, making this an ideal central touring base for your holiday.
This region is known as the Carse of Stirling and is one of the most fertile areas in Scotland where the vast majority of hay is grown and harvested. The farm offers guests the opportunity to escape the pressures of every day life and guests are lucky enough to be able to enjoy exclusive fishing amongst beautiful countryside where you can fish for Brown Trout, Salmon and Sea Trout. Alternatively enjoy a game of tennis or relax in a wonderful hot tub.
The Tool Shed is a superb conversion of the original farm Tool Shed. It resides in a traditional sandstone barn and enjoys spectacular views to the north and west.
Providing luxurious accommodation for a couple, this is the ideal retreat for a romantic break, a relaxing holiday or as a base from which to explore the surrounding area.
The Tool Shed is light, airy and extremely spacious. It is equipped to the highest possible standard and features an outstanding craftsmen-built, wooden spiral staircase leading from the lounge area to the mezzanine bedroom.
