"We had booked a RVIVE sauna/loch experience here via our stay at their sister place Mhor 84, so we went along and after a tense 4 mile journey along a single track road - a glass of fizz and some oysters overlooking the loch was much needed, Breathtaking... is the only word."

Dining

Monachyle Mhor Hotel's award-winning restaurant serves a 10-course tasting menu that changes with the seasons, using pork from the Lewis family's own farm. The hand-picked wine list offers bottles matched to each dish, and on-site culinary classes provide hands-on cooking experiences. Guests can also enjoy a pre-dinner cocktail at the bar before a meal that draws on local produce from the estate.

Rooms

Accommodations range from individually styled farmhouse rooms to a restored showman's wagon and a unique ferry cabin with an outdoor wood-fired bath. Many rooms boast loch or mountain views, and all use slate, wood, and local stone in their décor. The ferry cabin offers a private outdoor bathing experience, while stable rooms and courtyard cottages provide spacious options for families.

Location & Activities

The hotel sits on the banks of Loch Voil within the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park, surrounded by mountains and working farmland. Guests can hike, cycle, or fish from the loch shore, and the on-site sauna offers a place to relax after outdoor adventures. Nearby attractions include Queen Elizabeth Forest Park and ski areas in the Scottish Highlands.

Pet-Friendly & Family

The hotel welcomes pets with dedicated outdoor areas for activities, and family rooms accommodate groups with children. Board games, puzzles, and kid meals are available, and the working farm provides a chance to see Highland cows and donkeys. Families can book courtyard cottages or the two-bedroom space for added privacy.

Sustainability & Extra Amenities

Monachyle Mhor emphasizes local sourcing and sustainability, with produce from the estate and an electric vehicle charging station on site. The hotel offers wheelchair access, a terrace with outdoor furniture, and a luggage storage service for late departures. Guests can also buy fresh bread from the on-site bakery and join the Wine Safari tour led by the owner.
