The Area
About the Location & Area
The Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park boasts some of the most glorious scenery in Scotland. The area we are in “The Trossachs” is known as Scotland’s “Lake District” – but without the crowding that the English Lakes have.
The nearest pub/ restaurant is the fabulous Lake Hotel a mile away which has lakefront dining and a cosy bar. The nearest shops are in Aberfoyle 4 miles away with a good co-op and a terrific artisan butcher who gives our guests a 10% discount.
