卡蘭德青年旅館(Callander Hostel)

Just look at that view! My friend and I were greeted with that on arrival at The Crags Accessible Pod - owned and run by Callander Youth Project Trust. Located in Callander (Stirling), this self-catering accessible glamping pod is where we stayed for a week-long holiday in Scotland (2nd - 9th June 2023). As a wheelchair user, it can be very difficult to find 'accessible accommodation' that meets all of my needs, so this was a great find! Booking for the accessible pod can only be made over the phone. And before booking, the staff could answer any questions I had and emailed me additional photos of the facilities. Key features include: - Parking spot at the rear of the pod with ramp access to the pod itself. - Wide doorways and a level interior. - Sizeable wet room with shower/changing bench, adjustable-height washbasin, Clos-o-Mat toilet and a level-access shower. - Profile bed (single) in the main bedroom, with ceiling (y-shape) hoist running through to the bathroom. - Lounge area with seating and a well-stocked kitchenette, including a fridge, hob, microwave, instant boiling water tap and dishwasher. The sofa pulls out into a double sofa bed, and an additional zed-bed (fold-out) can be added to accommodate a maximum occupancy of 4. - Outdoor (covered) veranda with extra seating and table. It was very nice, clean, and had everything I needed, except for a wheeled shower chair, but that wasn’t a problem as I took my own. The staff was very friendly and helpful and were very accommodating to our needs and requests. It was like a home away from home (but with better views!) as everything was so easy for me to access. Overall, we had an amazing stay at The Crags Accessible Pod and would stay here again.

We stayed in the pods that are on the property and they were perfect for us! Very comfortable and well appointed, with everything you might need. I definitely would stay there again. Very short drive to Doune Castle and Dean Distillery.

Awesome place,really nice chap at check in,the pod was lovely with every amenities you could want,lovely and clean and cosy.

The hostel is nestled into the charming village of Callander with a spectacular view of Ben Ledi. The hostel is immaculate and cozy. There is a full kitchen with a lot of care and intention put into recycling and composting. There is an ample and comfortable dining area with foosball table, books and some games. Our room was clean and comfortable with a small table, refrigerator and two bathrooms. We really enjoyed our stay in Callander.

Another fantastic weekend at the Pods at Callander Youth hostel! Pods are brilliantly equipped with all you need even when cooking! Immaculate, clean and tidy! Comfortable bed and lounge chairs for looking out at the stunning scenery, with an uninterrupted view across the meadows to Ben Ledi and the River Teith. Staff extremely helpful and friendly and are on hand if required! A short 5 minute walk and you have coffee shops, gift shops on the Main Street including a Tesco and co op! Access to beautiful woodland and river walks right on your door step! Looking forward to our next visit already!

Comfortable, provided everything we needed, peaceful setting, have no complaints

Really nice building with shared kitchen and garden at walking distance from the center. Room was basic but clean and quiet. Private parking on the backyard and nice staff.

Staff were friendly and welcoming, room was clean and tidy and plenty of space. Met all our needs.

The room at the hostel was better than many hotels I have stayed at. It was warm with very good facilities. Welcome was very friendly too.
