Some info has been automatically translated.
Achray Farm is a working smallholding / goat farm and ice-cream maker in the Trossachs. We have holiday lets in The Cake House (an old name for an animal feed store) and The Old Farmhouse (sleeps 6).

The Cake House was renovated to create bright, spacious, accommodation whist retaining original features, along with a wood burning stove complimented by 300Mbs fibre WiFi & biomass heating.

The perfect location for hiking, cycling & touring the area from the door & an easy walk to local tearoom.

The space
We occupy an idyllic location within the National Park between Callander and Aberfoyle. The farm is on the Great Trossachs Path a 5-minute walk to Loch Achray and a few hundred meters (in the opposite direction) to the Byre Inn and a few minutes more to the Brig o' Turk Tea Room.

Achray Farm is a working smallholding growing our own flavours for summer artisan ice-cream made from our own goats milk, with our micro-dairy and ice-creamery, plus sorbets. Only sold direct, here on the farm.

There is a woodburning stove in the Living room and wonderful views from the property. A modern, open-plan kitchen/living/dining area with bifold doors to the garden was added.

The building has been designed with sustainability and aesthetic in mind. Internal features include natural cork flooring in the hallway, heavy reclaimed timber doors, tough bamboo flooring in the bedrooms and reclaimed wooded shutters. Natural environmentally friendly paint has been used throughout.

As well as biomass heating and hot water, we run solar PV for electricity topped up by a renewable energy tariff. The second bedroom can be configured as two single beds or as a "zip and link" Kingsized. Fast (300 Mbs) fibre broadband is available throughout Achray Farm via the unlimited guest Wi-Fi.

In 2020 we launched our ice-cream, from our own goat's milk with seasonal flavours from local forage and fruits. We sell this during the summer from a converted vintage horse trailer to walkers and cyclists on the track that passes through the farm.

Guest access
There is a fenced garden area with the Cake House. Achray Farm is a working smallholding and you will see the small goat herd on the farm.

Other things to note
Farm access is 200m of stone track with a hump-back bridge. It is suitable for most cars (we have several low wheelbase visitors) but not large campervans or similar due to weight limits. Full details on confirmation.
