Lake of Menteith Hotel & Restaurant, Port of Menteith

This hotel is situated in the most idyllic and picturesque position one could wish for – right beside the only Lake in Scotland.

The ‘image’ and interior of this hotel have been transformed in recent years. Past winner of the ‘Small Country Hotel’ category (Scotland Hotel Awards). Decorated in the warm and welcoming style of a classic New England waterfront hotel, with muted tones and the extensive use of local timber and stone in the restaurant and bar. All rooms have been extensively upgraded with care and attention to detail - rooms with lake views are ‘out of this world’ with all modern amenities and nice personal touches.

In addition to the discerning traveller, the Lake Hotel will provide facilities for exclusive weddings, whilst the food and beverage operation is one of the best in the country.

The waterfront restaurant serves excellent seasonal, locally-sourced, produce-based cooking thoughtfully and imaginatively prepared by Head Chef Paul Bainbridge. Proprietor Ian Fleming and son Jamie have certainly ‘turned’ this hotel into a first class operation.

Only a short drive from Glasgow or Edinburgh.
