Surely one of the loveliest B&Bs in Scotland, Victorian-era Creag Ard House is run with charm and professionalism by Cara Wilson, whose big, beautiful and elegant home offers wonderful lake and mountain views (room #1 has the pick of them) as well as pleasant gardens. Walks begin at the front gate, there are good places to eat five minutes away, and great dining 20 minutes away.

Two visits to date and it's one of my favourite places to stay in the UK. The house is beautiful and immaculately presented, the hospitallity is first rate, the breakfasts are huge and delicious and the location and views from the rooms are breath taking. Add to these riches the proximity of some fine woodland and mountain walks, the option of taking the boat onto the loch for a lazy fishing expedition and the fact that Stirling is only a half hour drive away and Edinburgh only a little over an hour and you couldn't want for a finer place to spend a few days.

A very pleasant and friendly B+B. The rooms and common areas are attractively decorated and some rooms have very nice loch views. The proprietress was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend it!
