This property is just a few miles outside of Aberfoyle next to Loch Ard. The house is gorgeous with a lovely dining room, living room, sunroom and patio. It even has a little stream which runs down next to the patio. It is gated and quite safe. Beautiful views from the rooms and the patio - even the dining room has a view! Breakfast both days was wonderful, and dinner very good, although we did not dine there the second night as we were out and about all day. Our hostess was wonderful and gave much attention to small details. Would highly recommend this house for a 2 to 3 night stay!

Altskeith Country House on Loch Ard was delightful! Sitting on the shores of Lake Ard & with a beautiful view of the Scottish mountains, I really can’t imagine any place prettier. Allison & her husband, who run the place are a dynamic duo. Allison has decorated the inn beautifully & the rooms are complete with thick pillows & scrumptious comforters. Her husband is chef & makes wonderful meals. (We didn’t meet him but thoroughly enjoyed his menu.) Staying at Altskeith Country House was a highlight of our trip. Thank you Allison! (. BTW… it’s also a wedding venue. I can’t imagine any place better!)

Beautiful venue, fairy tale rooms & charming hosts
Fantastic stay, very warm welcome on arrival, the bridal suite was a perfect romantic setting with views across the loch. The reception rooms were warm and comforting again with fantastic views to enjoy next to a cosy log fire. The food was fantastic, the chef, Yaz, clearly passionate and took the time to show us around his smokery where he smokes his own salmon, very reasonably priced at around £16 a main course. Amanda was an amazing host, lovely to chat to and giving recommendations of ,coal sites to go and see. Would 100% go back again.

The view of the loch was spectacular. The room was modern and clean, the quality of the bedding and fixtures etc throughout were top notch, no expense had been spared. I slept really well but my husband was disturbed by noises from the other rooms. It was a shame that they didn’t do evening meals.

Many thanks for taking the time to write a review of your stay with us. We are planning to offer evening meals again either at Christmas/New Year or early Spring when we open again for the new season. Sorry to hear your husband did not sleep well. It is quite an old house and the walls are fairly thick so sorry it disturbed his sleep. Best wishes Alison

Really enjoyable stay.
We stayed one night to break our journey home from the northern highlands. We had not stayed at the hotel before, but we could not have been made more welcome. The food was excellent, as was our room. The hotel is a wedding venue at weekends and we were not sure just what to expect. As it turned out we had one of the most pleasant stays we have had for some years. The location is stunning. We certainly hope to stay here again.

Top Class Hotel
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Altskeith House, so relaxing with immaculate attention to detail is every respect. The comfortable interior is charming and overlooks the stunning garden and loch. The meals were excellently prepared and presented both at dinner and at breakfast, but the smoked salmon (home smoked) was outstanding.
