Luxury boutique hotel on Loch Voil in Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park

Accommodations

The hotel offers 18 individually styled rooms, many with Loch Voil or mountain views, using slate, wood, and local stone in the décor. A restored showman's wagon, the Tiny House, provides a compact stay with a wood-fired bath outdoors. The cellar room and farmhouse rooms include features such as large showers and steam rooms, though some rooms have limited space.

Dining

The award-winning restaurant serves a seasonal menu featuring pork from the Lewis family's farm and produce from the hotel's estate. Guests can book a 10-course tasting menu or a 3-course dinner at £95 per person, with hand-picked wine pairings. On-site culinary classes offer hands-on cooking experiences for food enthusiasts.

Activities & Wellness

A sauna with views over Loch Voil is available for relaxation and cold-water plunges. The hotel offers cycling, fishing, and hiking directly from the property, with trails in the Queen Elizabeth Forest Park and the Scottish Highlands. Guided foraging trips, bee experiences, and a wine safari event are organized seasonally.

Location & Surroundings

Monachyle Mhor sits at the end of a 5-mile single-track road on the banks of Loch Voil, within Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park. The property is a working farm with Highland cattle, donkeys, and sheep, offering direct access to two lochs. Nearby attractions include ski areas in the Highlands, the Mhor 84 gastropub (30 minutes' drive), and the Mhor Bakery in Callander.

Family & Pet-Friendly Amenities

Pets are welcome throughout the hotel, with dedicated outdoor areas for exercise and walks on the estate. Families can book a portion of the courtyard or the entire hotel for events, and children enjoy seeing the farm animals. Board games and outdoor picnic areas are available, and breakfast can be delivered to the room.

“The setting alone is quite magical, especially with the dramatic mountain and loch views. Even the drive along the single-track road feels like an intentional part of the experience, leading to a property where the staff know you and your dog by name. It truly is a special place to switch off.”
