Karma Lake of Menteith Hotel: A Lakeside Stay on Scotland's Only Natural Lake
Lakeside Setting
Karma Lake of Menteith Hotel sits on the shore of Lake of Menteith, Scotland's only natural lake. The 19th-century manse is an hour's drive from Glasgow and Edinburgh, and Inchmahome Island with its abbey ruins is on the lake. The building's classic New England waterfront style uses local aged timber and stone, while ospreys, otters, geese, and swans are regular residents of the shoreline.
Dining
The on-site restaurant serves locally sourced Scottish produce and homemade desserts, with outdoor dining tables facing Lake of Menteith. The Malt Vault has a selection of whiskies, and a complimentary welcome dram is offered on arrival. Breakfast includes continental and cooked choices, and afternoon tea and scones are served in the conservatory.
Rooms
The hotel has 12 rooms, including the Osprey Room and the Highland Room, the latter with a dressing room, claw foot bath, and dual sinks. Some ground-floor rooms open onto the lawn and lake, and dog-friendly rooms come with pet beds and bowls. There is no lift, so guests with mobility needs should request a ground-floor room.
Leisure
A games room has a pool table, darts, board games, and a record player. The hotel offers fishing on Lake of Menteith, a sauna in a shepherd's hut, wild swimming in the lake, and a golf course. Evening entertainment includes whisky tastings and a monthly ceilidh on the last Friday.
Pet-Friendly & Family
Dogs are welcome, with pet beds, bowls, and a dog towel provided. Families can use the kids' meals menu, board games, and the games room. Near the hotel are Blair Drummond Safari Park and Doon Hill and Fairy Knowe, both suited to family outings.
