A family run business set in the heart of the Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park
Pétanque can be played during the cafe opening hours and patrons of the cafe can request the boules from a member of the cafe staff. A cash deposit is required for the use of the boules during busy periods when access to the piste will be restricted to players only.
Our ‘piste’ or court, named The Broch Bouledrome, is of International size (15m x 4m) and was constructed early in 2017 after redesigning our front patio area.
Pétanque is a form of boules where the goal is to toss or roll hollow steel balls as close to a small wooden ball called a cochonnet or jack while standing in a circle with both feet on the ground. Each end is scored individually and first player or team to 13 wins the game. Pétanque rules are available however we prefer a more casual approach to the game with a minimum of rules.
Travel the scenic routes through the National Park from the comfort of your car, motorcycle or recreational vehicle.
The Rob Roy Way runs for 79 miles from Drymen to Pitlochry in the eastern Highlands. It visits many places linked with Rob Roy MacGregor (1671-1734), Scotland’s most famous outlaw.
The main route goes through Loch Ard forest to Aberfoyle, goes beside Lochs Venachar, Lubnaig and Tay and passes through superb scenery, with interesting aqueducts, viaducts and, on the approach to Pitlochry, a 3600-year-old stone circle.
Award winning café perfectly located on your journey through the Trossachs via the A84 or National Cycle Route 7.
