Arden House is a Victorian stone built property situated in one of the finest positions in Callander. The house stands peacefully in its own attractive gardens overlooking the village, with panoramic views of nearby Ben Ledi and the surrounding countryside and hills. Arden House has ample private parking space and is only a few minutes walk from the village centre with its variety of shops, pubs and restaurants.
Callander is known worldwide as 'Tannochbrae,' made famous by the BBC TV series 'Dr Finlay's Casebook.' Arden House was the television home of Drs. Finlay and Cameron and their housekeeper, Janet. Today, we offer three individually styled B&B en-suite bedrooms in addition to our spacious self-catering Studio apartment for two. All accommodation is exclusively for adults and we are proud to have been awarded a 4 star GOLD award from Visit Scotland for exceptional customer care. We take pride in using quality local and seasonal produce in our breakfast menu which has achieved the Visit Scotland 'Taste Our Best' award. Daily home baking is a speciality at Arden House and much appreciated by our B&B guests after a long day exploring, and often by our self-catering guests too.
We welcome you to enjoy our relaxing accommodation in the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park - the perfect location to enjoy some of the finest scenery in Scotland. The village is centrally located for sightseeing - Stirling, Oban, St Andrews, the East and West coasts are all within easy reach. Callander is just an hour from Edinburgh and Glasgow.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Arden House! Gary and Dawn are extremely hospitable. They are also very knowledgeable about the area and gave great recommendations for things to do, places to eat, etc. The house and grounds are well kept and beautiful. The location is great too -- just up the hill from the village of Callandar and within easy driving distance to many locations in the Trossachs and beyond.

My golf partner and I stayed at Arden House to be close to Callander Golf Club. Gary and Dawn are excellent hosts and couldn't be more helpful. The room was clean, fresh and well appointed. The breakfast was in keeping with this well run B&B, first class! If you want to stay close to the Golf Club this is the place to be, literally 2 minutes walk to the GC. Gary was kind enough to charge our golf trolley batteries, great service.
I have stayed in a few B&B's in Scotland and I can honestly say this is one of the best yet. P.S. if your of an age to remember Dr Findlay's Casebook TV series your in for a treat. This is the fictional home of the well known Dr Findlay and Dr Cruikshank, not forgetting Janet the housekeeper.

We travel a great deal and rate this as one of our best stays anywhere. Beautiful location, immaculately clean, great breakfast and most of all professional and friendly hosts. The view from our room was lovely, looking out over the beautifully tended garden. The hosts recommended two different restaraunts for dinner, gave us a wealth of local places to see - all excellent. We would go out of our way to stay here again.

Dawn is an incredible sweet and effective host. She made sure we had a good range of recommendations for food and avtivities. The room was fantastic and well prepared for two persons. The facilities are superb. Dawn offered tea and coffee on arrival and a marvelous cake, just wonderfull. Dawn makes an incredible scottish breakfast. The tastes and quality are superb, we have no tasted the equivalent ast couple of days in Scotland.When travelling to Scotland we would most certainly return to Callander, just because of Dawn and her B&B.

Don't miss the lovely offerings of Arden House. Dawn gathered us in after a long day of "driving on the Left!!!!" and made us instantly welcome and secure! Situated in a perfectly tucked away yet accessible location, surrounder by forest, gardens and even a little putting green, Dawn, the quintessential example of Scottish charm and hospitality, offered delicious breakfasts, elegantly presented along with all the information we needed to hike around the area and then continue on our way "driving on the LEFT...the LEFT!!!!

This was our first visit to Scotland and we made Arden House our starting base for 2 nights. Initially we were drawn to this house for nostalgic reasons as the 'Dr Finlay's Casebook' series had coincided with the early days of our married life (the black and white telly period). At Arden House, Dawn and Garry in their respective roles as hosts, offer the very best in B&B, our only regret is we did not book for a longer stay here.
Meanwhile its back to the exercise bike in order to shed some of those extra pounds of Scottish extravaganza for which I hold Dawn and her cookery skills chiefly responsible. Exhibit 1 your honour, Dawn's chocolate cake. Exquisite. The Arden House Scottish Breakfast - I have run out of superlatives, the Jury should try for themselves,(sorry maximum is 12 members).
A unaminous 'Yes' vote for this B&B from us.

From the moment we arrived to a welcoming cup of tea and cake, until we left 2 days later, Dawn and Gary were the perfect hosts. Their lovely victorian house was the original Arden House in the tv programme Dr Finlay's Casebook which was filmed in the Callander area. Breakfast was excellent and our room was clean and comfortable with lovely views. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and only wish we could have stayed longer.

It would be difficult to recommend Arden House too highly. It's beautifully situated, well away from the noise and bustle of Stirling Road. Visitors receive a gracious welcome and a cup of tea from Dawn, who knows exactly how to balance care and attention with unobtrusiveness. Our room, named after Dr Finlay, was spacious and very comfortable and we slept well (not always the case with my husband, who is a light sleeper). Breakfast was magnificent (I loved Dawn's scrambled egg with smoked salmon) and again served in the calm, relaxed atmosphere characteristic of Arden House. Lots of information was available, both in the room and in the sitting room set aside for the use of visitors. In short, we had a wonderful stay -- and hope to be back soon!
