Rooms & Grounds
Thackray House dates back to 1625 and is set within its own gardens and woodlands on the banks of the River Teith. Individually designed en suite rooms include Smart TVs, tea and coffee making facilities, and hairdryers, with some rooms offering spa baths and lounge areas. The grounds provide direct access to the river and include a picnic area, outdoor furniture, and board games and puzzles.
Dining
Dinner is served in the Strawberry Fields Bistro, where freshly grown produce from the hotel's own walled garden brings each dish to life. A full cooked breakfast is served daily, and the Lounge Menu offers classic favourites throughout the day alongside the timeless ritual of Afternoon Tea. Special diet menus, kid meals, fruits, and wine and champagne are also available, with breakfast in the room offered as an option.

The hotel offers bicycle rental, fishing on its own stretch of the River Teith, and walking tours and hiking directly from the property. A picturesque golf course at Callander is a short walk away, and horse-riding stables are a ten-minute drive from the hotel. Themed dinner nights, mini golf, and bike tours are also available on-site.

“The historic house offers a peaceful riverside setting amidst beautiful grounds, yet remains conveniently close to Callander's centre. My stay was marked by exceptionally comfortable beds and the welcoming ambiance of the common rooms, particularly the library with its inviting fireplace. The bistro consistently serves commendable food, making it a place I'd readily return to.”
