     Description 


Enjoying a beautiful location in the heart of Scotland, Stronvar
House offers you a unique self-catering holiday for up to 12 at an
affordable price. One private unit comprising the ground and first
floors of David Carnegie's major Victorian addition - the front door,
entrance hall, main hall, drawing room, dining room, kitchen and main
staircase leading to five en-suite bedrooms.
The accommodation is as elegant and peaceful as it was for the
original Laird's guests. The modern additions of central heating and
en-suite facilities make it a little more comfortable for today's
guests.
Whatever your reason for visiting Scotland:
* a family gathering
* a group of discerning friends
* finding your Scottish roots
* taking in the clean mountain air
* getting away from the stress of modern life
You'll find this central location, on the shore of Loch Voil in the
Braes O' Balquhidder, the ideal base.
The large entrance hall with oak staircase, leads up to the main
hall. The Carnegie crest is displayed in the stained glass window,
and the walls are covered with tartans from the local clans.
The oak staircase in the main hall leading to the first floor,
dominates this hall. Doors lead off to the Drawing Room, and the
Dining Room. The natural light supplied by the windows in the roof
provide the ideal conditions to view the alabaster sculptures set in
the walls and the Laird's collection of antiques and curios that deck
the walls.
The Drawing Room:-
This quiet room has bay windows overlooking the gardens and mountains
to the east and south. The focal point is the white marble fireplace
with it's carved eagles and handpainted Delft tiles depicting sailing
ships. The plaster frieze shows Neptune. This room contains a
"pianola" player piano with a selection of music rolls and a PC with
24/7 Internet connection.
The Dining Room:-
The beautiful and impressive marble fireplace, the thistle cornice
and the large picture windows provide the grandeur in this room. The
breakfast bar gives you breakfast with a view. The other door in this
room leads to the kitchen. This modern kitchen with traditional feel
provides you with the facilities to cook for your party. This long
room was the servery, where the food was brought up from the kitchen
to be finally prepared before serving. The original crockery cupboard
has been retained and the fitted kitchen has been built to be
sympathetic to this large piece of furniture.
Appliances include electric cooker, washing machine, refrigerator,
freezer, dishwasher, microwave oven and kettles. A tumble dryer is
situated in the north tower.
The bedrooms:-
The MacGregor room has views over Loch Voil and the mountains to the
north. Two single beds, private bathroom with toilet in the north
tower, colour television, clock radio, trouser press and hair dryer.
The MacLeod room has views over Loch Voil, the mountains to the
north, and the glen to the east. A four poster double bed and a
single bed, private bathroom with a second toilet in the east tower,
colour television, clock radio, trouser press and hair dryer.
The Robertson room is situated over the entrance hall with commanding
views of the mountains and the glen to the east. A double bed,

and hair dryer.

an old ghost or two.
