Karma Lake of Menteith Hotel

A very disappointing visit after driving from Edinburgh for our anniversary lunch! We were asked to sit outside as they have a wedding party inside. Had to go to the bar to order our food and drink after waiting for 15 o for someone to take our order. Our fish and chips £20) and burger (£21) arrived freshly cooked and hot , however…. Burger was red and uncooked in the middle, my wife fish batter was uncooked/not very crispy and soggy dripping with oil put on top of nice chips. No no follow up visit from waiting staff and no question as why we left most of the food on the plate. I then ordered a black coffee and a tea, tea cup had heavy tea stain and coffee was watery cheap coffee. It’s spotty to see this lovely place had gone down hill .

What a wonderful place to stay. Had a couple of days of misty weather and a couple of beautiful sunshine. The area is magnificent, the staff were truly wonderful and the whole stay was a great experience. Very easy to get to and to use as a base to look around.

We stopped for dinner in route to out self catering cabin along the road. the food was absolutely brilliant. we both had the cheese burger and it was one of the best we've ever had. Almost too good to just call a burger. Really tasty skin on rosemary fries. staff were delightful and the views are stunning. 10/10 Forgot to take photos of the food as it was so good we demolished it

A thoroughly enjoyable stay. Osprey suite was lovely - amazing views and very spacious room. We ate in the restaurant twice; the service and food were excellent. In fact we had nothing at all to complain about! Even had a small dog who was made very welcome. Recommend a trip to Trossachs Pier.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay here. We were made so welcome from the moment we arrived. Our room was beautiful and had a stunning view over the lake. We had lunch, dinner and breakfast here and couldn’t fault it at all. We had a few drinks in the bar and both Erin and Tia looked after us so well. Such a beautiful place for a relaxing night away. We will definitely be back !

I had an absolutely wonderful experience at the hotel during their Festive Week celebrations. From wine and cheese evening on Monday, live music on Christmas Eve, a fabulous Christmas day lunch to Boxing Day brunch, I thoroughly enjoyed my solo stay-cation.  The location: Nothing can beat having my breakfast with a view of the lake. I can only imagine how wonderful it would be during the summer months. The food: Every single meal I had was cooked to perfection. Breakfast - Eggs Royale, Scrambled Eggs with Salmon Dinner - Cullen Skink Risotto and Scallops, Haggis, neeps and tatties with whiskey sauce Brunch - Grilled halloumi, avocado and poached egg on a sourdough toast. The poached eggs with a jammy centre really scored extra points since I am personally not a fan of a runny centre. The cullen skink risotto was a first for me and I would go back for seconds if i could. The Haggis with the whiskey sauce was my favourite and I did go back for seconds. No pictures since I was too busy enjoying it. And finally the Christmas lunch: ham hock terrine for starters, a full roast for the mains and sticky toffee pudding for the dessert. Chefs Joe and Paul truly outdid themselves with this one. I am still dreaming about the gravy.  The service: Now this is my second visit to this hotel and I was delighted to see some familiar faces and meet some new ones. I must start with Millie at the reception, who was patient with all my concerns and queries prior to my stay and after I was shown to my room. Other special shootouts: Nicola for breakfast service, Erin, Chantelle, Catherine and Bryony at the bar. Noteworthy mention: Aindi for holding down the fort on his own on Christmas evening and supplying us with wonderful cocktails. Even ones that weren't on the menu.  And last but never the least, Chris and Blue from guest relations, thanks for making sure this solo traveller never felt lonely. The entire restaurant and bar staff did an incredible job making sure that the service was running smoothly even during the busiest hours.
