“A faultless dining experience, offering truly exceptional food in awesome surroundings” – many reports attest to the “stunning” standards of Tom Lewis’s “relaxing” restaurant-with-rooms, which enjoys a wonderful, remote location with loch views."

Gold at Eat Scotland/Visit Scotland
"Monachyle Mhor is a small family run luxury bolthole. Each room is individually designed using the best of both old and contemporary furnishings.
The restaurant prides itself on using the best of what it can gather within a 30 mile radius. The farm the hotel sits in provides all the beef, lamb, venison and pork whenever possible. We have our own organic gardens and the chefs can often be seen out foraging for wild fungi and fauna".
Alastair Sawday 2010
"This 17th-century farmhouse is one of Scotland's coolest hotels. It's a family affair set in 2,000 acres of silence; the Trossachs circle around you, Loch Voil shimmers below. Step inside to find a slim restaurant behind a wall of glass, a candlelit bar, an open fire in the sitting room.
Bedrooms – most in converted stone outbuildings – are dreamy: big beds, cool colours, hi-tech gadgets; bathrooms can be out of this world. Rooms in the main house are smaller, while suites in loft-house style are enormous. Dinner is five courses of unbridled heaven: beef, lamb, pork, venison, all off the farm. Walk, sail, fish, ride a bike through the forest".
