The Lake of Menteith Hotel in Stirling

Gorgeous setting, sadly very mediocre food. Service lovely, great friendly waiters but the food is just not up to the mark. Expensive, small portions, they reckon they have hotel restaurant of the year in the central belt but on our experience I wouldn’t hold much to that accolade!

Gorgeous setting on the lake. Nice menu, decent food, service somewhat haphazard, could be so much better. Even so, a worthwhile dining experience

We have stayed at the Lake of Mentieth hotel multiple times in the past and have always loved it so my husband decided to book there for my birthday dinner. The setting is still wonderful and I ordered a chicken curry. When it arrived I was so disappointed. The chicken was virtually inedible. There was no white meat and the chicken that was there was full of fat and gristle. I left virtually all my meal and we will not be back which is such a shame with the great location and how the food and service used to be. We would definitely not recommend

The setting is absolutely wonderful with full view of the lake and wildlife from the restaurant. We had an upgrade to a large, comfortable bedroom with a good sized ensuite. The manager helped us to settle in on arrival, and was quick to respond to our questions etc. However, almost all of the staff were very slow and quite abrupt and not particularly helpful. Sorry, but true. We enjoyed the peace and quiet and local walks.

Beautiful peaceful views over the lake from the restaurant. So pleasant to sit and watch the wildlife over the lake.

The food and setting are outstanding this coupled with excellent service made our anniversary meal one to remember. A big thank you to all at Karma

Relatively quiet, but served a lovely lunch, particular the Cullen Skink, overlooking the lake, and all good.

Been here many times in the past, my wife decided to take me back for my birthday. We went for lunch which was great with the lovely surroundings of the lake. Have always loved this place, had great service and a cheeky discount for my Birthday. Thank you we will return and recommend.

I went to this restaurant with a group of 5 friends. The waiter informed us that they had a large group at one table and that we may have to wait awhile. This was a gross understatement. We had already polished off the first bottle of wine and ordered a second before the food arrived about an hour and a half after we ordered it. The management should either hire more staff or book fewer covers if they cannot cope better than this.

I popped in for the fisherman’s breakfast, there are a few variations, I opted for the full Scottish which was bacon, eggs, sausage, black pudding, potato scone, mushroom, tomato and beans with a side of toast and a pot of tea, the service was quick and friendly and the food was delicious and all for a very reasonable £10.50, perfect to set yourself up before a day on the lake.

stayed here with friends, oct 17th to 21st nice rooms and comfortable. the restaurant is very good, serving great food at reasonable prices. we had continental breakfasts which were top notch and there was a good full Scottish breakfast also available. the bar was superb with a very good selection of single malt whiskys to choose from, some old and rare and pricey. the staff are really friendly and they couldn't do enough for us. we plan to return next year after the refurbishment. good luck for the future , "Everyone"

Family out for Sunday lunch, one requiring a gluten free meal. We were assured that the grouse on the specials menu was gluten free, so two of us ordered this and we ordered two portions of seasonal veg as extras. The grouse came with a jug of thick white blob, which we were later advised was bread sauce, not mentioned on the menu and clearly not gluten free. The vegetables had thick strands of noodles mixed through them (none of us had ordered noodles). When I complained to the waiter, he took my bowl to ask the chef, before returning with the same bowl saying that the chef said not to worry as they were just stray rice noodles! The waiter was clearly being left to take any flak, so I followed him to the till, to find the manager and chef in the bar. The manager basically said that it was a small kitchen, so you have to expect some cross-contamination (2-inch bits of noodle?!), while the chef brushed it off as just a "schoolboy error". (If I'd wanted my lunch cooked by a schoolboy...) Neither the manager nor the chef appeared to grasp the seriousness of serving contaminated food, with the manager repeatedly assuring me that the ingredients were gluten free. Restaurant owners must understand that to label a dish as "gluten free", or any allergen free or even NGCI (no gluten-containing ingredients), they are not just saying that they did not intend to include the allergen, but that they had taken measures to prevent contamination by the allergen. Clearly, serving a jug full of the allergen (as happened here) is dangerous, but so is having such poor kitchen practices that different meals on the menu get mixed together. Our meal was cut short, as we could not trust any of the dishes to be gluten free; in fact we could not trust any of the dishes to be just what the menu said they were.

La vue sur le lac est magnifique et reposante. Nous avons assisté au coucher de soleil en dînant et c'était fabuleux. Nous avons pris le poulet et le porc. C'était excellemment bien cuisiné et nous nous sommes régalés. Nous avons passé un très bon moment au calme, pour un prix très correct

Once a fantastic venue , lost to mediocrity and a fast buck Stopped for lunch. , high season no one in for lunch Why the seriously expensive salty no mushroom soup and passable gammon sandwich . Staff were once we found them helpful But this is not The Foyer reading room It’s a once popular country hotel Reality check needed by management Maybe it’s a loss leader certainly a poor reflection on Karma ethos

Visited here twice this week, once for drinks then again for breakfast. Breakfast was excellent, best scrambled egg I’ve ever had, we had the fisherman’s breakfast (full Scottish) which was great value. Friendly, helpful staff and very dog friendly. In addition, a real added bonus was free EV Car charging too (3 chargers)

Restauranten byder på glimrende mad, og har samtidig en fantastisk flot udsigt over Lake of Menteith. Betjeningen er venlig, imødekommende og hjælpsom.

Been here and reviewed before. Hoped it would be better this time as the setting is so nice we wanted to give it another try. The hotel is very nice, well decorated and modern, however some of the food was not up to the expected standard at all. I had beef stroganoff - what arrived was an oily stew. Cheap cut of meat which had a lot of fat & gristle, slicks of oil on the plate, no sign of cream in the sauce. When I pointed this out to the waitress she said she'd talk to the manager and see if she could get me a discount. I'd only eaten half of it and wasn't going to eat any more so I told her I wouldn't be paying for it. Sadly the manager didn't deem it important enough to come and see me and no apology was received from anyone. When we went to pay we were just told the stroganoff had been taken off the bill. On top of that, for starter I had scallops with pancetta. The 'pancetta' was actually streaky bacon - a thickish slice with no effort to crisp the fat. Not like any pancetta I've had before. I would have let that go as I know these are hard times for the hospitality industry but the stroganoff was a step too far.

We were thoroughly disappointed with our meal here today. While the spot was beautiful - spectacular views over the water - every single dish our party of 7 had from starter to main was poor. For a start it took nearly two hours to get our mains despite it not being busy (and no staff apologised or offered an explanation). Our drinks order was forgotten. And the food was really not good - very salty, undercooked (veg and chips), some of the portions were tiny, meat dry etc. Despite the huge delay for food and all the problems with it we weren’t even offered an apology or small % off the bill. I can’t comment on the accommodation and would return for the location if just for drinks but would not advise eating here.

Came here with friends for a Sunday lunch. The restaurant’s decor had a stylish elegance about it and it had a lovely view of the lake. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. We would definitely come here again.

We tried the Lake Hotel for lunch. It's in a wonderful setting and the view from the restaurant over the Lake of Mentieth is wonderful. The food was very good. I had a delightful salad nicoise with locally caught trout as a starter and haddock...

Brilliant location overlooking the lake, and excellent food to match. The fish tasted fresh and local.

This is a regular place we go for lunch when we are in the area, as the menu is good and the service and views could not be better.

We visited for lunch and sat outside on the terrace. Lovely setting right by the lakeside. The food was excellent, we all enjoyed the fish and chips. The service was very friendly and welcoming. We look forward to returning.

This was such a poor experience. Even in these Covid times, having to wear masks etc, the customer service was appalling- unfriendly and rude and the food was only an ok. Even the restaurant furniture looked as if it was from a garage sale! Either...

My husband and I had a meal at this lovely Hotel two years ago and decided that we would come back again with our friend who lives locally. We actually had dinner on the 2nd January, and as before the food was really lovely and fresh. The staff are so friendly and made us so welcome. In fact we love the place so much that we have booked to stay at the end of the year for Hogmanay. Thank you Andy for all the information you gave us on the Hotel, and we look forward to returning.

The restaurant has a lovely aspect out over the lake, which has the Wow factor.Lunch was moderately priced, with a variety of options. Our group included 2 veggies and the veggie haggis was very good. The only downside was that we had issues with the service, with a waitress seeming to have a bit of attitude, when we turned away the wrong order.Free parking in the hotel car park.

Just back from an over night break at the hotel. Thanks to Jean for the extremely friendly welcome on arrival and guided tour of hotel and room which enabled us to settle in quickly. The setting is stunning and more so on a beautiful sunny Autumn day sitting in the lounge overlooking the Lake of Menteith enjoying our delicious home made scones and coffee. Room 9 was a good size and very comfortable, especially the bed. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. We had a delicious meal at night, served by lovely staff, with everything tasting very fresh. The haddock just melted in your mouth. Breakfast was equally good and again nice to get a freshly cooked breakfast which was piping hot. The breakfast staff were very attentive too and made sure you had more coffee/tea/ toast if required . We will certainly be back as it is such a peaceful and relaxing place. Jean deserves a special mention as she is a great asset to the hotel with her bubbly, pleasant and friendly manner.

The real bonus is the splendid location besides the Lake of Mentieth. The view from the restaurant on a sunny evening with the sunset over the lake is breathtaking.The hotel itself is comfortable but needs some TLC and updating in places. The staff were helpful but I feel should have had some sort of uniform for such an expensive hotel.Overall a nice stay albeit a bit expensive if paying the full price.

Great Sunday lunch (Lamb roast) over looking the lake. Good attentive staff Good value for money. Would visit again when in the area.

De bons plats maisons à des prix raisonnables. Leur crumble est à tomber ! Sans parler de la vue sur le seul lac d' Ecosse...

A great deal of effort has been made, successfully, to update this beautiful building, set in an idyllic position on the lake of mentieth. Unfortunately, apart from a delightful receptionist, the staff are not very welcoming and as a result, the hotel lacks character.

We ate here last weekend and have left a review on the other trip advisor page which includes the overnight stay

My wife and I called in for lunch , the reception was not over friendly. The menu has very little choice. We chose the lentil soup for our starter which was delicious .Our main was fish and chips.After a lengthy wait it arrived cold and had to be reordered. We had to wait for over 20 minutes before we could begin to eat it.There was an apology from the chef.Unfortunately we were in no mood by then to stay for a sweet.Needless to say we will not revisit and cannot recommend the hotel.

We got a more expensive room (Menteith) for its water view. Hotel is not fancy but the setting couldn’t be more magical. And the staff couldn’t be better- they all went out of their way to make our three nights memorable. We ate in the hotel restaurant 2 nights - it’s the best restaurant around, but they don’t vary the menu/specials much so we ate out our third night, settling for less good food with more choice. Cooked to order breakfasts were excellent. Alex provided a great guide to special whisky and the photo bomb is by the delightful server. A special place.

The restuarant looks out onto the Lake of Menteith. Stunning view and so peaceful. Friendly staff. Food is good and staff friendly. Definitely recommend.

A group of 10 ate here on a busy Saturday evening with several other large groups in spite of which service was not as slow as we expected. There was a good variety of food from vegetarian to fish to meat dishes and all were well cooked and well presented. Food prices were reasonable. The wine list had a reasonable range though not especially inspiring and I thought that the more expensive bottles were a little overpriced. Service was friendly and as efficient as could be expected on a busy Saturday though they tried to charge us for 5 bottles of wine rather than the 3 that we drank. Altogether it was an enjoyable evening.

Three people had fish and chips. They felt the fish texture was a bit soft. They all agreed that the meal was not hot enough. The fire had not been lit and so the room felt damp and chilly. I had the beef burger which was tasty however the bun was dry, hard and stale.

I’ve driven, motorbiked and cycled past this hotel for years and now regret never dropping in. Had lunch there very recently and thoroughly enjoyed it. Try the Cullen Skink its lovely but very filling

We stopped at this lovely hotel for a drink and hopefully something to eat on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. Sadly, we were told the kitchen was closed at 2.30pm but they could do bar drinks and tea and scones. We were not allowed to take our dogs into the garden overlooking the Lake, although there was plenty of room, so we sat on the grass at the front of the hotel, meeting several other people with dogs who were also turned away. It was far too hot to leave dogs in the car.

I ate here as was staying in the hotel, nice choice of food and drink, service very good. My meal was very tasty. Definitely recommend

Room very nice and spacious with great views over the lake. We thought food very average served on cold plates both at dinner and breakfast. The bacon for breakfast was served with all rashers stuck together undercooked and the fried eggs were over cooked hard yolks. We noticed lots of dead flies on the dinning room windows. This was an expensive overnight stay and I don’t think we will revisit .

Terrible red thai curry, which did not resemble a thai curry in any way it was disgusting. The young waiter apologised very kindly. Dont put this item on the menu if your chef cant cook it . Please take the price lable of the pot outside with the lavender ib it !!!! The dining room carpet was dirty & stained

We had a delicious meal here in a wonderful setting. The restaurant itself was lovely and all staff were really friendly & helpful. The food was top class & the village itself was so picturesque. Well worth a visit.

The best restaurant in Aberfoyle and surroundings. Nice food, especially the fresh fishdishes. Nice place and beautiful view on Lake Menteith. We’ll be back!

Arriving at the "unearthly hour" of 8.45pm I feared the worst. The kitchen would be closed despite there being enough light and pleasing climate to fit in 9 holes of golf!!

Wonderful local Lake of Menteith perfectly-cooked trout. Window seat, on a hot sunny day - what more could you want!!

Spent 3 nights here and ate twice in the evening. Beautiful location, room with fabulous view over the lake. Food is good and wine list good too. The staff are friendly and go out of the way to help. The breakfast is so big you don't need lunch. I look forward to returning. If you fish, the fishery is two minutes walk away.

Friends recommended meeting here for dinner, and we were delighted with the choice. the food was delicious - I recommend the local trout; but everyone loved their food. The view is stunning, and watching the sun through the reeds over the water was magic. Highly recommend.

We drove from Stirling where we were visiting the university. We sat in the bar with views over Scotland’s only natural lake. Cream of mushroom soup and local Cullen Skink for starters. Fish and chips, smoked trout sandwiches and local venison for main course.

Stunning location does not make up for slow service, inexperienced staff who do not appear particularly motivated and second rate food (with small portions). All of this at a price that makes your wallet lighter than air. Harsh review but from the heart. Actively warning friends not to visit. Very much doubt things will change. Management need to wake up and stop living in the past.

My boyfriend and I enjoyed a three course meal here for my birthday.

We had an excellent lunch here, after visiting the nearby island Priory. Prices are a bit on the high side.

Had a very good 2 course lunch overlooking the lake (superb views). Service was good and relaxed. Food was of a high quality but maybe a bit expensive but more than willing to pay when it is in such a prime position.

I was craving fish so my husband and I went there for lunch I had trout fillet, and he had fish and chips. The food was absolutely gorgeous but not very good service. They took ages to bring our drinks which were sitting at the bar and then when we asked for tomato sauce and vinegar they for got until nearly the end. Would I go back yes I would food was great

My friends and I visited this hotel for a snack. We were met by a pleasant and helpful man who took us into the restaurant, rather than the snack bar, with a view over the lake. Our orders were placed using the menu and in a reasonable time they were brought to our table. Most of my friends ordered sandwiches which looked very attractive. I ordered fish and chips which were in my view expensive at £15 but very tasty. The view over the lake enabled us to bird watch whilst we ate our snack. There is ample parking.

We went to The Lake Hotel for a special meal with a friend. Everything was good up until the main course, when one of our meals was overcooked and inedible. Pheasant cooked so long that you couldn't get a knife through it. It was like leather, and the small amount of vegetables were completely and utterly dried up. We waited so long for the replacement that we decided to cancel it, as the others had finished eating. The waiter, who we later found out was one of the managers, was incredibly rude and said there was nothing wrong with my meal, which was extremely upsetting and he ruined our whole evening with his horrible attitude and rudeness (see other people comments who have encountered this man). He unbelievably brought out from the kitchen what he said were the pheasant breasts I had been given, and of course they looked nothing like the overcooked dried up morsals I had been given. And he continued to argue that we were lying about the food. The other manager was very understanding. It is unbelievable to be treated and upset in this manner. There is a serious problem with this manager, and the kitchen. I see there are others who have had similar experiences.

We are arrived too late for lunch at 3pm at this hotel and we’re only offered soup & bread. We sat at a table overlooking the water, service was good, soup was acceptable but I can never understand how a hotel can stop service, they were hardly over run with customers at the time. Large car park and adjacent church.

Decided to go for a family meal to The Lake of Menteith Hotel as it was such a lovely day. When we arrived everything was fine and we ordered fish and chips, soup and three burgers. The first meal arrived, which was one of the burgers 10 minutes before any other meal came out. The fish followed, and then the soup. Finally another five or so minutes later the other burger came out, however the third did not and we had to ask again for it as it had been forgotten about. When we started eating the burgers they were stone cold, and the soup was also not hot enough. The only meal which was ok was the fish. We sent the burgers back to be heated, as well as the soup. The soup was returned with less in the bowl but finally at a good temperature. However the burgers had to be made again. When the new burgers were finally brought out to us they were warm at best. Yet again, only two burgers arrived and the third one had been forgotten about again (twice), so had to wait even longer for that to be made. Finally the third burger came out with some half hearted apologies from staff. Each staff member that we spoke to made excuses and blamed other staff members and said: "oh you can't get the staff these days" as well as "I tried to tell the kitchen staff but they didn't listen to me" and "the burgers were sent to the wrong table and then sent back, so the chef had a meltdown". I have never encountered such a lack of professionalism! We then asked to speak to a manager due to the complete incompetence. When the manager came over he was quite rude, saying something like "I hear you wanted to speak to me?" with quite an unfriendly attitude. As we explained the situation he was not apologetic and again further blamed others, rather than taking responsibility for a terrible experience. He then asked "well what do you want me to do about it" again in an extremely rude tone, rather than offering compensation which would have made things slightly better. We had to ask for desserts or coffee on the house for the unbelievable service. After this we did get some desserts and coffee for free which is good, and after this conversation the manager changed his tune and started to act in a friendly and accommodating manner (finally). Overall I am not one to complain when things have gone slightly wrong and are not up to standard and I understand things can't always run smoothly. However I have never experienced such a lack of service, professionalism and heat in my food. All of which I would fully expect anywhere I eat, never mind somewhere which charges £16 per burger and £14 for soup. I recommend that the beautiful setting of this hotel is absolutely not worth you wasting your money. Definitely avoid!

Great lunch today at this beautiful hotel. Food was fab. Fish cakes to start with, risotto and curry as main, then amazing crumble and ice cream. Service was friendly and professional. Only negative was coffee which we returned due to taste (but still paid for) but other than that fantastic

Having stayed and eaten here recently we looked forward to sharing the experience with family. We’re lucky to get a table on a very busy Sunday. Restaurant sits in a stunning spot by the Lake of Menteith, views while you eat!

I contacted the hotel to ask if they did afternoon tea and was told that tea/coffee and scones were served from 3.30- 5pm. My mum is disabled so I needed to make sure that it would be an enjoyable experience.

We have just returned from a Friday evening wine night with friends to celebrate a special birthday. Lovely hotel in a beautiful location.

We had a lovely lunch here on a sunny February, location is fabulous looking out onto the lake.

Great overnight stay and beautiful dinner. A lovely welcome on arrival and the staff were lovely at dinner and breakfast too. Dinner and Breakfast were delicious. Only small point was the mattress was really soft in our room which made for a slightly less than restful night.

I was taken there by my family as a special birthday treat and it was a delightful place to visit.

We spent two days at the Lake of Menteith Hotel over the New Year.

We had a beautiful lunch here on Boxing Day. We arrived before 12 noon, and were offered drinks while we waited to be seated. We had hardly started those drinks before being taken to our table in the conservatory, with views out over the loch.

Beautiful views across the Loch and great food to go with it would highly recommend the cullen skink and venison burger both were delicious.

Staff are all over the place ! Quality of food is not up to standard, what is written on the menu is not what you receive. Waste of 96 pounds.

We booked into the restaurant for Saturday lunch. The setting is stunning with views over the Lake. We had a table by the window and could watch people fly fishing from boats out on the lake. The restaurant boasts a Malt Vault which stocks a number of select malt whiskeys. A must try!! The food is top class and the service equally so. We did not want to leave. Highly recommended.

We went there for lunch on our anniversary. Spot is pretty romantic. Ultra clean interiors as expected.

My wife and I have eaten here eight or nine times with dear friends who live nearby (I haven’t reviewed every visit). We met again for lunch on a really rainy and dreich Saturday, the lake shrouded in mist.

The hotel is situated right at the edge of the lake and on a strangely warm October day it was lovely to sit outside.

I ate here approximately a year ago and I have to say that the food was ok. Visiting again this month, I had heard that there had been improvements in the standard of food. In all honesty, I have to say that food was average at best. The menu would have you believe that you are in for a treat with a fecund description of the potential delights you are about to receive! The description of the food in no way lives up to the presentation and taste. I would have to question the quality of the ingredients. As I said in my last review, I really want this place to be good. As a local, there are very few decent eating establishments in this part of Stirlingshire. Without doubt one of the best settings in Scotland with open, panoramic views of the only fresh water lake in the country. It’s a real pity the food does not match its beautiful surroundings. Very disappointing. I’ll not be back until I hear that it’s improved - this may be a gamble of course!!

The beautiful location almost excuses the disappointment of the food. We dined here on Friday night and were excited when we saw the menu. Each dish had an incredible ingredients description which left us all sitting on the edge of our seat in anticipation. The food most definitely didn’t meet the expectations of the description or the cost. A perfect description could be “fur coat and nae knickers”! Where else to eat out in the evening around Aberfoyle and Gartmore?

We visited the hotel in October. Rooms are lovely. The hotel sits in a beautiful location. I have to say the food for me was awful. The vegetables were absolutely raw I couldn't cut through them! Someone else in our party ordered the venison burger and it was served burnt on the outside and dry on the inside also he couldn't cut through it. Having said that the other 2 members in our party ordered the fish and thoroughly enjoyed it. Breakfast in the morning was lovely. The other thing I did not like was that at half nine they closed of the bar.

Our expierence at this restaurant was perfect. The staff were friendly, the location and looking out over the lake was splendid and the food was fantastic. During our time traveling around Scotland, this was one of the best meals we expierenced.

We dined at the hotel with American friends while we were staying at Cardross House just up the road. For a hotel that is relatively out of the way, it was very busy. The menu is extensive and enticing, the prices reasonable and the service friendly. The almost perfect title alludes to a wrong order being delivered to the table which disrupted things for a little while, but these things happen and it was sorted out relatively swiftly. The views across the lake are stunning and the hotel is located in an attractive setting on the edge of the Trossachs.

Started of very well with pleasant staff and a stunning views. However, I had to exchange half of my cutlery as it had congealed food left on it - now not going so well. Over all the food was very good and the staff efficient despite it being very busy on that occasion.

I felt compelled to review the restaurant separately from the hotel, as the food here really is a class apart! We had two evening meals and three breakfasts in the beautiful conservatory dining room, which overlooks the lake. On two of the mornings we even saw an osprey hunting over the lake!

We were fortunate to get a window table overlooking the Lake of Montieth. Perhaps the best view in the Trossachs. Good menu choice. Amazing food. Attentive service. Really helpful and friendly manager. Well worth the £32 return taxi fare to get there and back from Callender. Really special place.

Without doubt, the crowning advantage of this fine hotel is the view across the Lake of Menteith. Its peaceful setting lends itself to a relaxed lunch, apart from the overall experience for a night's stay

Sunday dinner with friends. Very attentive and chatty staff, appealing menu and lovely food. The view is really good from the dining area but you can’t eat that. The food matches it all though.

Stayed with my wife for two nights last week. Thoroughly enjoyed the visit. Great hotel, great location and views. All the staff were superb and a credit to their employers. I will review the food separately.(excellent). The room was good, (some of the slightly more expensive rooms with lake views are lovely). A great retreat in a great setting.

Sydney neighbour recommended this restaurant before our trip to Scotland. Best of the best we have experienced so far. Pork dish was excellent and the black pudding was a delight. Will thank my neighbour when we get home.

After traveling the Uk for a month this hotel stood out by a mile as the very best. The service was great from check in to check out. The food in the restaurant was first class. The rooms were very clean and comfortable and the view overlooking the lake was breathtaking . First class. Loved it.

The scenery is the big attraction for dining here with beautiful views from west-facing dining room (and bar area) to watch the sunset and wildfowl and we were fortunate to see an Osprey dive and catch a fish during our cocktails.

We couldn't have a meal here as our dog was not allowed in even though there is an extensive dining area outside. The atmosphere and response when we asked was also cold and uninviting. 0 stars from me.

Auf Ankündigung wurde extra eine vegane Karte erstellt.

We sat in the window overlooking the lake eating very good fish and chips for lunch. We were so mesmerised by the ferry going backwards and forwards to Inchmahome that we walked round to it after lunch. A very friendly restaurant with quick service. We always enjoy our visits here.

It was lovely to sit in the restaurant looking out on the Lake during the heatwave. The most exciting thing was watching an untethered boat drift off on its own and then be rescued some time later! The food was excellent - lamb with a lovely combination of flavours and a light lemon tart with cooling raspberry sorbet.
