Monachyle Mhor in Stirling

We went for lunch on a Wednesday when normally only bar foods are available but owing to a misunderstanding we expected a cooked lunch. Their staff could not have been more helpful and moved "heaven and earth" to ensure that our party of 6 was provided with the meal they thought that they had been expecting

I don’t mind shabby chic but this really was more shabby than chic. Our feature room was £500 for dinner bed and breakfast so I was really expecting something special. The room was nice and spacious but the window didn’t shut the blinds didn’t shut and the bedside table was cracked. The receptionist was lovely and friendly but the rest of the staff had a lack lustre approach. The star of the show has to be the food which was absolutely delicious. Certainly visit this hotel for lunch or dinner but don’t waste your money on an over night stay. Staff did not wear masks and tables in the restaurant are close together. I felt current covid regulations were not being adhered to.

Stunning scenery, beautiful room, and lovely kitsch touches throughout. Like the wee dogs roaming about, might not be for everyone though. It had all the hallmarks of a brilliant stay with another two couples but was let down by the service. It started with pre dinner drinks, the young barman struggled to pull a pint or serve up a gin and tonic. He also couldn’t serve up and Aperol despite all the ingredients being there. We then had him bring through drinks to the lounge but nobody was collecting glasses so they soon racked up with 6 of us there. Then the French waiter came in with some drinks, I love he was so friendly and wanted to chat but after 20 minutes of his tales of France and Islay we were wanting to get back to catching up with friends. This was a bit of a feature of the night as he was our waiter. Each time he brought the exceptional food the whole room had to stop as he cleared his throat to draw the whole rooms attention to himself. I would have hoped the maître de’ would have gotten hold of this but he didn’t not seem overly effective. They did slightly detract from the excellent food and wine. Speaking of which it was disappointing not to be able to order more than one bottle of both the red and wine as there were none in stock. This was a theme as when ordering night caps there was only two shots of krakken rum and we needed 3. We were told we could not have it. Astonishing. I then ordered my whisky and said French waiter took the opportunity to tell me about islay again and offer me the ardbeg cork. Thank you but can I have the whisky I ordered please. Breakfast was okay and nothing special, toast showed up, well 4 pieces in a rack for 6 for a table of 6 half way through. When settling up our bill out group of 3 couples were over charged 600 which took some time to work out. This is all fixable and sadly did detract from our stay. The location, hotel and evening food were exceptional and I look forward to reading positive reviews showing the above has been sorted so that we can return.

Was here for 1 night with our dog in late October. Had a lovely welcome & our dog friendly room was gorgeous (number 9, The Byre). Due to covid restrictions we were unable to have alcohol with our evening meal, but this wasn't a problem. The meal was GORGEOUS!! I have a food allergy (onion) & all the waiting staff were aware of it & the chef amended each dish so I could have it without the onion. Could not fault the food or the service in any way. The pear & pecan tarte with cardamon ice cream was divine & the petit fours served with the tea at the end of the meal were fabulous. After such an amazing dinner there was a slight worry that the breakfast would be a let down but there was no need to worry. Beautiful menu & you could have anything in any order according to our waiter. Food & service again were fantastic. This one night away was the only holiday myself and my husband have had this year due to circumstances relating to Covid. It was definitely worth the wait!!!

We stayed in the pilot panther for our October honeymoon. Treating ourselves to the taster menu on the first night was lovely. Food was fantastic and the staff are all fab (especially the fellow geordie Chris!) They were also super accommodating with some delicious food on the second night, the chef is tip top! Thanks for everything, we have 2 friends booking to come and visit already following our stay, and we haven't even gotten home yet!

What a wonderful 3 days we have had at this hotel. It is situated in a very special quiet area where you can walk out the front door and take in the beautiful scenery of lochs, forest and mountains. You relax immediately and feel very much at home. The food is outstanding and we enjoyed every mouthful with attention paid to every element of each course. The staff are so friendly and very efficient. We shall be returning.

MM is a truly special place, ruled by the one and only Tom Lewis, proprieter extraordinaire. Lovely courtyard bedrooms, delicious food, eclectic wines, multi-national excellent staff, all in truly amazing scenery. We love the long and winding road from the A84, each slow mile heightens your expectations and you will not be disappointed. Open your mind and enjoy the MM experience.

We stayed here for a weekend break, the rooms were lovely, very quiet and relaxing! The food was amazing and the staff were really friendly and helpful.

We stayed one night at the hotel and had a wonderful dinner. The service is excellent and the ingredients are as local s they can be (local venison, veggies, bread, fish and lamb). The bread is to die for as are the desserts

It’s a bit of a haul to get here but what an amazing experience when you do. My wife and I stayed for one night and enjoyed some really amazing food for both lunch and dinner. Next time I have to go for the tasting menu but this time I enjoyed the lamb starter (quite amazing) and the beef (equally excellent). Great walking nearby and a chance to just decompress amongst magnificent Scottish scenery.

Loved dinner at MM. From the canapés to the dessert the choice was truly local and farm fresh served with panache and style. As good as any Michelin starred restaurant we’ve visited accompanied by their own gin, local treats and topped off with a decent wine list. MM is not easy to get to - but deffo worth it. it’s 4 miles down a private road running along Loch Voil, we stayed the night - would be interesting driving back at night. Top callouts for the dinner, roasted artichoke, black garlic ice cream and stone bass - all straight 6 star dishes. Keep doing what you’re doing - we’re looking forward to our next trip.

We decide to go out for lunch and having visited before we knew we would not be disappointed. A great ambience and delicious bar snacks Staff most attentive and in a great location.

This quirky hotel is just a delight. The furniture is an eclectic mix that works so well. The staff are exceptional. So warm, welcoming and friendly. The food is delicious and beautifully served. Had long wanted to visit and was most certainly not disappointed.

Stayed two nights for dinner, bed and breakfast. A wonderful location at the end of the Balquidder Glen, this is an enchanting place to spend as much time as you need to recharge the batteries! We had an excellent spacious room with large and suite shower, steam room and bath. Breakfast almost matched dinner and provided the energy to walk the glen. Thoughtful, well prepared and presented evening meal. Only irritations were the excessive mark up on average wines and the noisy table of guests on one evening! Would not hesitate to go back.

If we managed to have a great time with two teenagers and a dog it must be good. Can’t remember the last time I went to a restaurant where all the courses were great. Beautiful location. Definitely recommend.

We were very excited for an overnight stay here and honestly were a little disappointed. The overnight stay is unbelievably pricey and the room large and nice but slightly underwhelming for the cost. The hotel setting is beautiful, in a tranquil and remote spot. This, however, was ruined when we stayed by diggers and various other construction equipment making a noise until well unto the evening. Really spoiled our drinks in the sunshine on the lovely terrace, and no mention or apology was made by the staff. What made the stay worth it was the food. Outstanding quality and actually value for money. Wine and drinks also very good. Staff friendly. In summary, I would return for food but wouldn't spend the night again.

Lovely, elegant restaurant with very local food. This was our first experience with the Scottish style of serving drinks and canapés in the lounge where you order and then are shown to your table to eat. A very efficient and relaxed way of doing things. We were served "veggie haggis," which I think is the way to go with haggis, and other treats. The 3 course dinner options were varied with local lamb, fish, and either venison or beef (I can't recall). Excellent service, a thoughtful wine list, and, or course, great whiskey options. I was introduced to Glengoyne single malts, which we'd not had before -- yes! I wouldn't want to drive back out from here after wine and whiskey but luckily we were guests and didn't have to! I look forward to returning.

Nos dieron una mesa justo al entrar, larga y estrecha. Era como estar en un pasillo.

We enjoyed a superb lunch here last Saturday. Thoroughly spoilt by very friendly staff in a great location. All the dishes were excellent, fresh oysters, delicious fish and a lovely beetroot risotto. We would love to return and stay in one of the rooms next time to be able to enjoy more time here.

If you like cross country hiking, photography, quiet pockets of land beside the loch surrounded by mountains, clean fresh air or relaxing by the open fireplace whilst being served the international wines & the freshest of meals then the Monachyle Mhor is your destination. Fresh killed beef, lamb & pork grown in the surrounding paddocks, on-site chefs. The guest rooms are large, clean, comfortable along with beautifully refurbished bathrooms with lovely inclusions.

We stayed at the hotel for 2 nights and opted for dinner on both. The food was of exceptional quality. The menu was creative and very unique. I was impressed with the chef’s ability to craft modern twists on traditional Scottish fare, such as the Crowdie.

As foodies it was great . It was everything we heard about and hoped for . Great choice great quality . Accommodation in this extended farmhouse was very good. Some slight issues but nothing to take away from the weekend ( steam in shower not working ) . I read with interest some negativity around the service . Personally I thought service was excellent from the hard working wait staff but that said I can see how quickly the lack of structure the hotel has particularly in the restaurant could lead to issues. Some organisational improvement is required .

Amazing views - you are far away from the world and you get peace and mindfulness.

We went 9 years ago for lunch so we were here for a repeat experience. There is some gravel in the car park but we got in to the restaurant OK and the corridors are a bit of a negotiation. Lunch was outstanding even if the cost is amazing. Good disabled loo.

Great place to go for a relaxing break. Not inexpensive but great food, staff and location. Not much more to say really.

Das 3 Gang Menü war von der Vorspeise über den Hauptgang zum Nachtisch ein Genuss für den Gaumen. Zwischendurch gab es noch den Gruss aus der Küche und eine kleine Suppe, dazu selbst gebackenes Brot. Das Restaurant ist sehr gemütlich und absolut empfehlenswert.

This quaint hotel is about 25 minutes off the main road, but well worth the trip. The celeriac soup was unctuous and memorable whilst my beef dish was a delight. Great staff and a fine view made for a lovely lunch.

This time we were in the But and Ben as we had the dog with us, by far the best idea for dog owners. The room like all the other courtyard rooms was spacious and restful with the added bonus of opening out onto the countryside behind... (the dog loved that bit) Relaxed as ever and every comfort thought of, you could chill forever in the homely, chic rooms here. Food was as ever, delicious. I am not a puddings person, but have to admit that the fireworks display of flavours, popping in my mouth, will stay with me for a long time. Banana Rum Parfait with the sharp seville orange compote and candied peel was a real 5th of November in the mouth.... lovely fellow guests, coffee by the log fire, in a word, Civilised. See you next year!

This hotel is some 5 miles down a narrow single tracked road to nowhere. Nestled beneath brooding hills by a gentle loch, you stumble across Monachyle Mhor and it is a joy. We had an amazing room (15) which was large, spacious and airy. The bed was immensely comfortable and, apart from one serious gurgling radiator, we had no complaints - although we felt we needed an engineering degree to work out the bath controls!! There is almost no WiFi of any usable bandwidth, which is one of the reasons why this is a great place to disconnect and unwind. Nice restaurant (reviewed separately) and the Full Scottish breakfast magnificent.

Seaplane lunch experience flying from Loch Lomond. 3 excellent courses seated outside on a beautiful September day. Location stunning, meal and service exceptional. A day to remember

A small, historic dwelling with plenty of character in a stunningly remote location situated in a mountain valley and reached along a narrow, twisting loch-side road. This is a place for rest and relaxation far removed from the faster pace of life and boasts an informal, welcoming, homely and comfortable atmosphere. Wi-Fi was relatively slow and my mobile signal disappeared, thus offering a real retreat where a more manic life-style was completely forgotten. Warm, cosy, comfortable and clean with all facilities, our food allergies and intolerances were noted upon our check-in from friendly staff.

Nos invitaron a alojarse en este maravilloso hotel con 50 amigos para celebrar un cumpleaños de julio. Después de un vuelo fácil a Edimburgo, una experiencia un poco firme con el alquiler fractious coche y el gps nos envía a lo largo de un peligroso camino viejo por 7 millas, finalmente y por suerte llegamos a este lugar impresionante. . . . Monachyle Mhor. Enseguida nos sentimos bienvenidos. Nuestra habitación era fantástica [11]. Espacioso, con estilo, muy limpio y acogedor. Como vegetariano, estoy muy acostumbrado a hacer con lo que está disponible, pero mi paladar estaban a punto de ser enviado al cielo. El 1 noche calle teníamos nuestra comida en Mhor 84 a pocos kilómetros de distancia. Pertenecientes a la misma familia de nuevo nos hicieron sentir muy bienvenidos y sentó a una deliciosa comida. Después de un sueño increíblemente cómoda, desayuno en Monacyle Mhor fue simplemente deliciosa y habían dado a la opción para vegetarianos. Nadamos en un río y el locke y encontramos una piedra sepulcral Robbie burns después de caminar a través de bosques. estable Volver al hotel almorzamos. Probablemente la mejor sopa que he probado nunca, y aún mejor por las impresionantes vistas y el aire fresco. En la noche que era la hora del partido y un viejo granero holandés, convertida ahora en un salón de actos, había sido maravillosamente adornadas y hizo fiesta preparado para una increíble. Una fiesta realmente increíble. Este lugar tiene que ser visitado y vale la pena cada céntimo. No te decepcionará. Gracias a la familia lewis por darnos un fin de semana inolvidable.

Este lugar está al final de un largo camino he estrechamiento. Por desgracia sólo tenía una breve visita, pero me encantaría volver o para una comida apropiada. . Nos solo tuvimos tiempo para café y bollos. Tuvimos que esperar 20 minutos mientras que los bollos recién horneados, pero mientras tanto un tronco leña fue iluminado en el salón y pudimos pasar el tiempo jugando de LPs. Genial.

Difícilmente puede poner en palabras lo especial que es este lugar. La ubicación y el servicio es excepcional. La hospitalidad durante nuestro evento hogmanay era simplemente precioso. Nos sentimos muy bienvenidos y parte de la familia. Champán fluía. La música era genial y el personal involucrado con todo el mundo. La comida era excepcional. Para que cantidad de gente gastronómicas que no saben cómo lo justo. Menú de 7 platos de degustación incluida excelente productos y visitas locales. Carne de conejo, muy sabroso, vieiras. Qué gusto y que se repetía el próximo año. Recomiendo altamente no sólo por el evento hogmanay, sino también por su comida durante todo el año. Genial.

If you are considering eating at this place you shouldn't consider any more... just make it happen, you will not be disappointed. It's taken me a year to come back and write this review , not because it wasn't worthy of a review back then...

Una estancia maravillosa en un lugar maravilloso. Muy recomendable para descansar y comer en un entorno elegante. Lo que el tiempo podrá disfrutar de las instalaciones y la calidez de la bienvenida.

Nos hemos alojado aquí muchas veces y nos encanta el entorno el personal y cada cosa incluso hasta los perros! La comida es insuperable y el entorno WOW! No puedo esperar a llamar x

We walked around the loch opposite this gorgeous hotel, before enjoying the best scones by the fire in the snug. This was a beautifully decorated contemporary hotel in the middle of superb views. I can't wait to stay here on my next trip to Scotland, simply stunning.

.The staff were wonderfull.This is a lovely hotel well worth the journey on single tract road.The room was large with a fire you could use .A good hostes tray.The seprate bathroom had two baths in it as well as a large shower.At dinner which was made up of varies starter before the wonderful main meal .If you you wanted anything different from the main menu you only had to ask and they made it for you.The staff were very attentive and friendly.Well diserved of an excellent review.The hotel its self was very confortable the thing was the bar was very small.

Revist with new head Chef Marysia Paszkowska taking over from owner Tom. Food quality fabulous as before, I had the home grown Tamworth pork followed by an outstanding St Brides Guinea fowl, melt in the mouth good. Caroline was very pleased with her Isle of Mull scallop with Atlantic stone bass to follow. The intermediate tomato sou was exceptional as was my lemon posset both getting 11 out of 10 as did the guinea fowl. Odd score I know but if something is exceptional what can you do?Overall score of 95%

Perfect in every way. Better than ever. The food, the service, the wine and that view. What could possibly go wrong. The cream of cauliflower soup with pumpkin seeds and pumpkin oil was a highlight for me.

This hotel lies in isolated splendour near the end of a narrow winding road, much of it single track. However, the road is in good order, but leave a good 15 - 20 minutes for the trip. The dining tables are set overlooking Loch Voil and the hills beyond; an impressive and peaceful view.Service was friendly and competent. Immaculate white table cloths add to the feeling of quality and a wide-ranging menu was on offer including ample local fare. I settled on wood pigeon for my starter and lapsed into choosing lamb which was delicious. Highlight of the meal were the deserts - the raspberry and rose parfait and the espresso mouse were WOW!!Recommended, but leave time to enjoy the serene surroundings.

Dropped in while walking on the route outside. An amazing place - very busy at lunchtime on a Saturday but exceptionally fast service. Lovely location. Good variety on the lunchtime menu - should be something to suit everyone on it. Pleasant staff who were very helpful. Definitely visit again

The food, surroundings and service is exceptional - must go place, would recommend booking to avoid disappointment this is one popular place and now I can see why! Would love to stay at the hotel the next time we are in the area.

Amazing location, great accommodation and fantastic food. Brilliant weekend break, we stayed in Room 15 which was huge and very comfortable. All the staff were very helpful/friendly. Will definitely return, great job by Tom and the team.

Food available at breakfast and dinner was excellent with a wide variety of foods to suit everyone. The venison at the Burns Supper was so tender and delicious, it just melted in the mouth. For breakfast I indulged in smoked salmon and scrambled eggs amongst other things.

Whilst driving the beautiful road alongside the stunning Loch Voil we decided to pop into the Monachyle Mhor Hotel for morning coffee. Having parked the car we were "welcomed" by a couple of wee dogs who dutifully led the way to reception.We were invited to take our coffee in the lounge, where we sat in comfy chairs alongside a log burning stove, with aforementioned dogs gazing longingly at our accompanying biscuits. The decor and furnishings of this hotel are modern and smart, but chaotic enough to bring a real warmth and comfort to the place. The staff were all ultra smart and the whole air was of quality and professionalism. It's certainly a place we would like to stay in at some future date.

Another trip another fantastic meal. From the little appetisers to the dessert I enjoyed every inventive course. Great ingredients cooked really well.

Amazing Scottish food, the bread is all fresh from their bakery. All the meat and veg comes from their farm.

We were sightseeing and happened upon this hidden gem. It may be hidden in the woods but it is by no means a secret as more and more people arrived for lunch. What can I say? From start to finish everything was excellent, the food, the service and the view is awsome.

At the last minute we found ourselves with a rare weekend to spare. Having stayed at Monachyle Mhor many times before and always thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the surroundings and food we tried and failed to get a room (there was a wedding on). However we booked in for lunch on the way home having stayed overnight at another nearby hotel (almost as good!) Lunch was just tremendous. The food is just head and shoulders above anything else we have eaten in a long time. The flavours and the presentation were fantastic and, in my opinion, well worth the £30 for three courses. As ever the service was impeccable and we were surprised, for a Monday lunchtime, just how busy it was. Just shows that people will travel far for high quality food.

My wife and I celebrated our wedding anniversary here with friends. It was a quite splendid meal.In simple terms, I had a chicken & black pudding starter, monk-fish tail for my main and a chocolate pavé for pudding. These descriptions just don't do the flavour explosion of the cuisine justice though. The cooking on offer was very fine indeed.In addition to the menu items, we had some wonderful hors-d'oeuvres, amuse-bouche, cheese and petit-fours to boost my calorie intake!The service was cosmopolitan and friendly. We were not in a hurry and were pretty much left alone to have a good blether whilst sampling this very fine food.

Cuisine par excellence!Received by a gush of warmth as we walked in the door, by host and reception staff, barely had we ordered a little aperitif and we were promptly ushered to our table.The journey of gastronomy delight was a discerning travellers dream!Staff swanned around us presenting and clearing dishes in a most elegant and entertaining way.long after we left we had the sensations of an exceptional meal long lingering on our sensesMany Thanks to all at Monachyle Mhor and the family who holds it so dearly!

If you are a foody, this is a restaurant not to be missed. Excellent daily changing meals, lovely setting (helped by a rare warm and sunny evening for pre dinner drinks outside), local produce, lots of creativity in the dishes, good service. Highly recommend and will be back. Cant comment on the hotel itself as we stayed in their sister place up the road, Mhor 84 which was also very good (rooms and food).

I remember when Monachyle Mhor was a B&B and enjoyed one of the first excellent dinners when it opened as a restaurant. We still take the long drive up the glen to celebrate special occasions and also take foreign guests who enjoy the drive almost as much as the meal. Tom is a welcoming host. There are also comfortable rooms which with the tight drinking laws means one can have a couple of glasses of wine and not worry about the winding road home. As usual, the meal was first class.

Had a lovely break at the Hotel. A second visit. Room quirky as they are was smaller than our last but certainly far nicer than the usual run of the mill. The staff are very comfortable with their jobs resulting in a pleasant relaxed atmosphere. The food was good with a couple of outstanding coursesUnfortunately the whole experience was spoiled by our black and highly polished car being badly damaged by bramble bushes on the 4mile single track road leading to the hotel. My partner is furious and now refuses to take me back, which I am needless to say very unhappy about. I do suggest the Hotel keeps the road bramble free in order to avoid future damage to clients vehicles. A lovely break sadly spoiled.

The restaurant at Monachyle Mhor would stand comparison with any of the better resto's in Edinburgh or Glasgow. What sets it apart is its location and its very relaxed, friendly vibe. For a Monday lunch I had a starter of pigeon breast and belly of pork, a main course of turbot with beef cheek and a dessert built around early picked rhubarb: for a fixed £30. The cover included their own bread, baked that morning, which was exceptional even by today's widespread Scottish restaurant standards. It was all well prepared. The service, first class. Rather too strong a similarity between the sauces with my first two courses was perhaps down to the choices I made. Allow 20 minutes to drive into the glen from the A84 and a couple of hours for a walk up the glen after your meal.

We've visited MM many times over the last few years and as the Lewis family business grows and expands I hope that they don't spread themselves too thin - as it is their voices, skills and unstinting enthusiasm that lets us be happy paying their top rates - we now check to make sure Tom is in the kitchen before we confirm - as the difference in quality is significant - all said, we love and recommend

I dined at Monachyle Mhor on Saturday (but didn't actually stay at the hotel) and it is safe to say its one of my new favourite restaurants! Before arriving it is on a very long and single track road but don't let this put you off as there are plenty of passing places and when you get there it will most definitely be worth it. Both the food and picturesque surroundings make it a worth while drive! I chose to have the scallops which were cooked perfectly and were well accompanied with the pea purée and pancetta! I then had the cod which had the most delicious crisp and sea salted skin and was beautifully presented! To finish I had the chocolate delice which was also a good choice but not as special as the first two courses. Throughout our visit the staff were extremely friendly and efficient! Overall I highly recommend the scrumptious food and stunning surroundings - take a visit.

I was glad to have a driver who knew the narrow winding road leading to Monachyle Mhor, but it was well worth finding. We had a friendly welcome and nice little canapes with our aperitif. A tasty amuse bouche preceded starters of pigeon with foie gras and spicily dressed crab ravioli, followed, after an additional course of a tiny but delicious cup of soup, by extremely well cooked beef, and lamb served with spelt risotto. Desserts sounded delicious, but to accompany the last of the very good southern French red wine we chose the selection of unpasteurised cheeses, which turned out to be a wise choice. All in all, an excellent meal and worth the price at around £150 for two including wine and aperitifs. Next time I want to go in daylight, as the surroundings and the view from the hotel are said to be spectacular.

Originally visited last July for afternoon tea which was excellent, so we recently returned for Sunday Lunch and were not disappointed. Roast Beef was absolutely superb, nice and rare and very tasty. Meal was quite expensive but worth the experience.

It doesn't get any better than this fantastic hotel and restaurant in a stunning part of Scotland. I have eaten here a few times with visitors. I am a Scottish Tourist Guide and Tour Agent, and so,know some of the best places to dine and stay in the country.The food at Monachyle Mhor is fresh and tasty and plentiful, served by very pleasant staff. Well done to Reece, yesterday, his first day and he was informative about the menu and beers available and obviously loves his new job.Not forgetting Lee who was also on duty at lunchtime, whoalso clearly enoys working in such a special place. The atmosphere is relaxed and sitting in such glorious scenery, Rob Roy country and enjoying the finest food was and is an absolute delight. You have to make an effort tob get there along the very narrow single track road which also means there are no large coach groups. Bliss. I can't wait until my next visit. Bon apetit!

We were hoping to do a walk up Kirkton Glen but when we arrived we found a sign from the forestry commission saying the conditions were not safe and the trail was closed. With no alternative plan we wandered a bit further into Balquidder and saw a sign for the Mhor. We decided to have a wander up and I have to say Kirkton Glen's loss was certainly our gain. We sat outside with our dog and the views were spectacular. The lunch menu was just being finalised so we ordered a drink in preparation. We both had the scallop starter which was delicious, then my partner had the monkfish with squid ink and cod roe, I have never been a fan of monkfish but was persuaded to try it and it was fantastic, I am now a convert. I had the pork which was so soft and tender it melted like butter in the mouth. What a beautiful way to while away a couple of hours in the sunshine.

about 10 miles up a narrow road but lovely scenery so take plenty of time and enjoy the whole experience. Great food beautifully served. sunday lunch is £34, for 3-courses plus an amuse bouche and home made bread. Nice friendly staff.

Whilst it takes a bit of careful driving to get there,it is certainly worth it. We only went for a plate of soup (which was really good !) the reception and the service we got was second to none. The young Belgian gentleman made us welcome and chatted to us as if we were old friends. The views are spectacular and the restaurant very intimate.

We were passing this hotel and popped in on the off chance for lunch. We struggled to find where the entrance was but someone saw us and guided us through to the restaurant. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The views were fantastic, we would love to stop here for a night in the future. The food was really nice and reasonably priced for the quality.

The food was nice if not very slow in coming and the egg on my burger was burnt to a crisp, a much better ambience than was in the previous hotel ( kings house )but they need to stop taking themselves so seriously

Room was amazing . Staff were fantastic . Food was out of this world , Michelin star or two is need for this place . I will be coming back

Chef Tom Lewis is the cornerstone of this family run hotel and restaurant.You find it along a single track road which can be quite challenging but the journey is well worth it.If you want to stay there, the rooms are huge and a complete delight but you do pay for the luxury.We went for lunch in the restaurant and it was absolutely brilliant. We spoke to Chef Tom and the end and, not only is he a great chef but a darn good bloke to boot.Luxurious accommodation, superb food? If this floats your boat add it to the top of your list.

Calm and comfortable retreat in a beautiful lochside setting Friendly and efficient service. Marvellous food cooked to perfection. Minor gripes: bedroom in farmhouse was very small. Ambient lighting in the room was too low. Breakfast finished at 09.30 on a Sunday. None of that will stop us from going back.
