Idyllic lockside location. Very good breakfast with a selection of fruit, fresh baked scones and homemade marmalade as well as a variety of cooked options. Great hospitality. The main regret was that the stay was spoilt by uncomfortable cheap mattresses. When you pay £90 for a double room, even if it does have a fantastic view, you expect a better bed.

Just come back from a weekend at Creag-Ard. Accomodation was very good, views both from the room (No.2) and the front door overlook the Loch and the Trossachs - truly fantastic.

Food was very good and the hospitality from Cara (owner) faultless.

Would have no hesitation in recommending it to friends, and would intend to stay there again if we were in Stirlingshire in the future.

It was good value for money with B&B at £70 per room per night. Yes, you can find better accomodation but not in this price range.

If being picky, the bedrooms could do with a radio-alarm of some description. Breakfast is only served between 8-9am and if you don't pack one, you may struggle to make it (fortunately, we were with our 7 month old son so it didn't prove a problem!)

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.
