Roman Camp Country House Hotel

Roman Camp Country House Hotel

Overview

Roman Camp Country House Hotel is an atmospheric retreat tucked away on the edge of Callander in Stirlingshire, right at the gateway to the Trossachs and Loch Lomond National Park. A country manor set in 20 acres of wooded gardens along the River Teith, this historic property suits gastronomes, couples, and anyone seeking an indulgent gourmet escape in Scotland’s heartland. The Roman Camp Country House Hotel blends period charm with discreet luxury, inviting guests to unwind in peace after a day exploring hills, lochs and pretty market towns.

Eat

Dining at the Roman Camp revolves around its elegant, award-winning restaurant, which is a draw for dedicated food lovers as much as guests. The kitchen’s ethos is rooted in Scottish seasonality and tradition, with local game, beef, seafood and garden produce thoughtfully showcased on both tasting and à la carte menus. Expect classical French-inspired cookery alongside Scottish rusticity—hallmarks include perfectly cooked venison, fresh-caught trout, and comforting, flavour-rich sauces. The formal dining rooms offer a traditional, intimate experience, enhanced by attentive, friendly service. Lighter bites and bistro fare are available in the garden rooms, extending the palate to those seeking a more casual lunch or afternoon tea. The overall experience captures the essence of country house hospitality fused with technical skill in the kitchen.

Sleep

The hotel offers a selection of individually designed bedrooms, each brimming with character—think antique furnishings, generous bathtubs, and thoughtfully curated details. Several upgraded rooms include whirlpool baths or heated floors, and suites come with inviting lounges. The atmosphere is quintessentially British: crackling fireplaces, rich wallpapers, and views to lawns or riverside woodlands. This is an ideal spot for couples craving romance, walkers seeking comfort after moorland rambles, or anyone wanting to cloister themselves away for a restorative weekend.

Retreat

A two-night stay offers the perfect rhythm: take leisurely breakfasts before strolling the hotel’s secret gardens, then set out to explore the Trossachs, with scenic walks right from the door. Callander’s indie shops and cafés are less than 10 minutes’ walk, while Loch Katrine and Aberfoyle are an easy drive for outdoor adventures. On site, unwind in the bar with its grand piano, browse the peaceful library, or fish for salmon and trout on the hotel’s private riverbank. Stirling is just 16 miles away (30–35 minutes by car), and for those travelling from further afield, Edinburgh and Glasgow are both reachable in around 90 minutes by car. The Roman Camp provides on-site parking and makes an exquisite base to savour the very best of rural Perthshire and the Trossachs.
