Callander Meadows, located in Callander is a popular tourist location occupying the eastern entrance of the Trossachs and Loch Lomond National Park on the Heart 200 tourist route. The A84 which leads through the town and in front of the business is one of the most important cross-country tourist routes leading from central Scotland to the Highlands. Callander is also a popular tourist base for those exploring the Highlands as well as a favoured weekend destination. Frequently referred to as a gateway to the Highlands, Callander retains a simple link to the central belt of Scotland being located approximately 14 miles from Stirling and offering easy access to Glasgow and Edinburgh city centres.
The town has a tourist feel, especially in high season which extends from Easter to October, with the streets bustling with day-trippers, holidaymakers and those passing through the town attracted by retail amenities as well as the countless walks in the area.

The current owners have had extensive careers in the hotel and hospitality sector working in numerous 5 Star establishments. They are assisted by part time staff on an ad hoc basis as and when required.
There are 2 dining rooms which in total can cater for 46 covers. As a result of the Covid 19 Pandemic the current owners have successfully opened permanent shelter in the beer garden; allowing customers to eat and drink outdoors. The premises licence has also been amended to benefit from the current situation and change in eating and drinking habits.
